ID/Name the babe: A marking perhaps?

If their was an automated, software driven system to do that, which there isn't, it would be a great idea. But since there isn't an automated system, no Mod has either the time, desire or inclination to somehow mark hundreds of threads on a daily basis. We would have to spend all of our time in the ID section and how would we know when a babe was identified? How would we know if the ID was correct? Do we have to then search the internet sites to insure that the ID is correct? Fact checking is another profession.
So that then leaves marking the threads to the individuals who requested the ID, since no other member can do any editing at all on a thread they did not create. Here you don't have the problem of having to somehow mark hundreds of threads on a daily basis, but only the thread you requested the ID in. Let's assume this mark can be put in the Title of the thread. The problems here is you only have ten minutes to edit a thread, and that's not going to change for the simple reason that it is more important to keep a short editing time limit for other reasons more important than marking id threads. It sometimes takes days to get an id. Then you still have the problem of whether the id is correct. Do you want to leave it in the hands of a person who didn't even know who it was in the first place to mark a thread as identified?
And finally, there is the mark itself. What and how? Your guess is as good as mine on this one. The only conceivable thing I can think of is placing something in the title of the thread, like "Identified". But again, editing for members is only 10 minutes. So that's not a good option.

Damn it,that is the stupidest thing I`ve possibly ever heard of PrimeGuy.It would be easier to know which babes have been identified if there could be maybe a marking on the thread or something, so I don't have to check ALL the ID threads.
Maybe?
Really!
And since when do you do IDs?
Once again,truly truly stupid and not thought through suggestion.
I DO ID "babes", and why do you think this is such a bad idea? Even Aces&Jacks thought it's a good idea, just not possible.

Because it is absolutely impossible.
A 6 year old ***** would realize that it is not possible and stop before opening a thread.

:o Maybe there could be a consensus on using the tagging function in the ID section to mark correct IDs only...?
... just a foolish idea...

I think it is a good idea. In fact I asked the same thing almost a year ago. So obviously it is a good idea.
I asked because I often checked the last pages and try to find the non-IDed girls and then I get bored of clicking on solved cases and stopped. At the time I proposed the add-it-by-the-thread-starter note in the title, identified or solved as they do in computer forums.
Here we can not because of the 10-minute rules. Too bad but this rule probably eliminates more problems than it causes.
On the other hand I must say that titles of threads do change. So who does it ? Why are we told it is not possible ?
This was the 2nd part of my suggestion at the time : most members write titles like : the greatest ass I ever seen. You may find the girl a few weeks later but chances are that you'll never find the thread.
At the time I asked if we could edit the titles and put the names of the girls, or the sites where they were found. The answer was no (for the same reasons given above) but someone is doing it now !
This is the thread I started about Lizzy Merova. It was not that title and it was changed months after I started it.

And it is like this for most of them. I am not writing this to complain, that's exactly what I wanted. If it is possible sometimes, why are we told it is not possible at all ?
If I had a complaint to do it would be this one :
Curtesy is not a one way street that runs from down below to high above. Most of the times when we asked for changes or make suggestions, it seems that the answer comes from the gods, sorry the mods high above that makes us feel as if we are a bunch of stupid twits that don't understand anything and just want to create them problems because our brain is not fitted to understand how hard they work. Sometimes it takes them more words to tell us how dumb we are than to give us a real answer. But not this time Primeguy, A&J gave you a very good and well detailed answer.
This being said, I joined this forum more than 2 years ago after a long search for a girl. I went through I don't know how many forums and I joined this one because it may be the best of the most popular ones.
So we can't say it is not run correctly.:hatsoff:
