Ignore List of Thread Starter keeps Ignored from Posting in Thread

[Kidlicious]

Just delete threads attacking a poster. Poly's had that rule forever.

"Rule" is a word that poly had never understood.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Magnificent idea, that chap. Bravo.

My support for this concept just went up 100%.
I went to post in a thread and was informed that I couldn't which means that I am on Ben's ignore list.

LIFE IS SWEET today.

I'm starting to see why you're one of Apolyton's Most Horrible.

If I can't post in a thread because some dickless ****** doesn't want to hear what I have to say, then I want to have threads hidden from people who are ignoring me

[Sava]

Mine hidden from them and there's hidden from me.... Even if I didn't ignore them. Just make it automatic.

I hope you're starting to see since you made up the list a week ago

And for the record, I have 0 people on my ignore list. But this new rule may change my thinking on it.

The last thing we need is some passive aggressive tit for tat horse**** ignore system

Suggested from a horse**** poster... Want that to be clear too.

Good idea but probably harder to implement.

[Sava]

You are horse**** and the sooner I never have to be aware of your existence, the better

[giblets]

Take your meds.

I think this will likely lead to massive amounts of passive-aggressive bull**** maneuvering far more disruptive than just having to scroll past pages of grey blocks and people arguing with said grey blocks. Ideally we would just eject BK and/or Kid, since that's what this is really all about. Spade a spade, and all that.

How about if we had a toggle-able feature to filter out ignored posters, and people quoting same, on a temporary basis? I.e. the bull**** simply doesn't appear. This would not be ideal, obviously, but it would allow the community of BK/Kid ignorers to conduct discussions with a minimum of disruption. I'm not sure if this is technologically feasible, just throwing it out there.

Also not sure why AAHZ is concerned about a vibrant forum culture in this respect, since aside from calling me a nerd his main contribution to said forum culture is egging on the idiots and making mock threats. This measure would likely increase drama. Then again, I'm not sure why he pretends to be twelve years younger and forty IQ points dumber than he really is. Who knows.

EDIT: I, at least, use the ignore list for multiple purposes. There's people like BK and Kid who just thread**** without mercy, yes, but also posters I find kind of boring but don't feel the need to expunge from my presence entirely. And some in between. Just because a poster is boring or a bit of a heel to me personally doesn't mean they should be prevented from contributing to a general discussion.

On one hand this is a well-deserved kick in the butt to Ben. On the other, I'm an unrepentant ******* and that simply isn't going to change.


How about under each poster's login is a list of the people they are ignoring? That's all they really want anyway.

[Tuberski]

I haven't tested this. I think it stops further posting. I admit that's not ideal, but neither is having each and every thread end up the same old ****fest.

There is a something for this, it's called Moderation.

Everybody *****ed about moderation, but it stopped these repeated threadjacks.

ACK

Also, ClaudetteW only has 1 post on the forum and I already can't post in his/her thread.
