Ignore Feature

Welcome to our community

speaking of ignore.. whatever happened to JE?
 
To be honest, the best I think we can do is try not to play favorites (or the opposite) among posters. It's hard to fathom how a poster must be universally disliked when his threads get some number of responses. It really seems easy enough to not open a thread started by a poster you don't want to read.

Some posters are easily baited. :)

But it is easy to just not open the thread as you say.
 
It is amazing to me that members here take an anonymous forum personally in any way. Even more amazing, is that a member doesn't have enough self control to ignore things found offensive without use of a software function or reacting directly. Offensive behaviour is a natural human thing. You have many options to deal with offensive people in "real life", same it true in an anonymous forum.

Ignored!
 
The ignore feature is pretty useless because so many people quote the moronic posts of the people that are often ignored.

It would be GREAT the persons threads and posts wouldnt show up at all if we ignored them. Mixum wouldnt get half the responses to his threads if that was the case.
 
So, I can see that there's no real advantage to the ignore feature since threads by the person you're trying to ignore pop up anyway and people quote the "ignored" posts in their responses, so I guess I'll un-ignore MIXUM. Probably an over-reaction anyway.

Personally I like having him ignored even though it isn't perfect...

I think people just like to tell people they are on their "ignore list" as a veiled back-handed slap to them.
 
HCP, I'm confused. What did ABM say to you that would have you put him on ignore? :devilwink:
 
I would answer you Max, but it is YOU that is on ignore.
 
No one wants to think about them anyway.
 
you can run hcp... but you cant hide from the immortal one who is M I X U M
 
OT: Ignore function

Does this forum have a way you can ignore certain posters? There are several I would like to use it on... but if the function does not exist here - I may have to stop visiting this site all together.

Yes... You can go to User CP (the 4th item in the top red menu bar above) and then look at the options on the left hand side of the UserCP page. In the third section down (Settings & Options) the last item is "Edit Ignore List".

Just follow Legacy's avatar's finger - UserCP is up there.

If you are using firefox there is also a plugin that will do a super-ignore: it erases all traces of the offending poster. I don't have the link for that handy but if you search for it you can probably find it.

Click on the poster's name. Go to 'public profile.' Click on the 'user lists' pull down. Click on 'add to ignore list.'

You're welcome.

:cheers:
 
Re: OT: Ignore function
