ignore list

Caligastia · June 6, 2002, 15:38

does anyone use this?

Why would you want to ignore anyone? Trolls etc can be entertaining.

try not to be too predictable by saying "what? who posted a blank thread?"

I used it once, when I felt a certain someone was plain insufferable. But I think that it's better in the long run to expose yourself to whatever nonsense you prefer to avoid because you'll always be confronted with such stuff. Learning how to cover your eyes and plug your ears won't get you anywhere.

Caligastia · June 6, 2002, 16:25

Good point Colon. I agree.

notyoueither · June 6, 2002, 16:27

Who are you talking to Colon?

Az · June 6, 2002, 16:44

you can actually see that someone posted ,nye. that's not funny.

notyoueither · June 6, 2002, 16:45

My hamster enjoyed it.

Dis · June 6, 2002, 16:57

I put myself on my ignore list once

notyoueither · June 6, 2002, 17:08

Hey! That's cool.

I am sometimes tempted,,,,,,,,,,,.... to ignore people,,,,,,,,,.... who seem to have certain keys...........,,,,,,,,,, on their keyboard ......,,,,,,,,..... stuck in position............,,,,,,,...... "Have a nce day". PEOPLE WHO SCREAM ALSO TEMPT ME TO USE THE IGNORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing worse than disjointing sentences and making posts look ugly.

Zoid · June 6, 2002, 17:42

Like our aquatic friend says....very annoying....kinda like....yeah whatever...trying soo hard to be....like...original.

Saves a lot of aggravation on my part.

I put that 1337-punk on ignore. His posts made my eyes bleed.

To put anyone on ignore, they have to have nothing whatsoever to contribute to the conversation. Not many fit this description though, even trolls are entertaining at times...

It's great. I once had no fewer than 9 names on my "ignore" list. Now it's only two.

The only criteria to get on it is to be "boring and tedious background noise".

Personally, I'd love to see a "blah" list, where all the word's in that person's posts get replaced with "blah's". The posts of a few old windbags would be much improved.

TCO · June 6, 2002, 18:05

KittyHorse made me his first "ignore".

TCO · June 6, 2002, 18:06

Hey, I'm going to put panag on ignore. I've never used ignore before. But I know that I'll enjoy the forums better this way.

TCO · June 6, 2002, 18:08

We need a little botton to make it easier to put somebody on ignore (and take them off).

NYE!

I was getting deep inner peace. I've already encountered several panag posts. And it gave me a zen-like glow to NOT CLICK on the link that lets you read the post...

Mr. President · June 6, 2002, 19:48

I use my ignore list. But I'm not at liberty to divulge who's on it. I keep a list of my enemies on my Notepad, and surprisingly, there is not too much correlation between the Enemies List and the Ignore List.

notyoueither · June 6, 2002, 19:58

List of enemies? Taking all this pretty seriously, eh?

DaShi · June 6, 2002, 20:22

I put everyone on my ignore list except myself. Lalalalalalalalala.

Mr. President · June 7, 2002, 00:08

In your professional opinions, would it be amusing to put oneself on one's own ignore list, or just sad and alarming?

H Tower · June 7, 2002, 00:14

amusing. i should try it out some time when i'm bored out of my mind and i've been surfing poly for several hours straight

Dis · June 7, 2002, 01:14

already did that. It's difficult to edit your posts when you can't see them

Skanky Burns · June 7, 2002, 03:13

"Hey, could someone tell me if I've made an error"

My ignore list has only 2 entries on it, and they haven't posted in many months now. But better to be safe than to read their posts.

Mr. President · June 7, 2002, 03:26

"Did I post here?"

"What did I say?"

"Can you hear me now?"

And is it more or less so to put oneself on one's own buddy list. I did that. It was strange - I could never seem to catch myself offline...

Perhaps marginally less so. After all, people rarely troll themselves, they rarely jack their own threads, and they rarely send themselves harassing PMs.
