HG made a request for an Ignore feature in the Board Suggestions thread. I realize that having the ability to straight up block an individual's posts may strike some of you as a DIRECT VIOLATION, but to me, this seems like an intermediate step for managing conflicts without resorting to an outright ban of unpopular (or even unnecessarily aggressive and perpetually annoying) users. How to use it: Under a poster's avatar, you should see the following: If you want to ignore the user, click it. You will still see that they have made posts, but you will not see the post's content. If you decide to change your mind and view this poster's statements again, you will see the following face where the "shut up, please" face was before: Click it, and you will see that person's posts again. I thought about it and came up with the following possible ways to abuse this feature: Scenario A: Poster 1 gets "ignored" by a large number of users; to combat this, he or she creates multiple accounts and just quotes his or her first username's posts, or simply reposts them under alternate names. Possible solutions: Other posters ignore Poster 1's multiple usernames; multiple usernames reposting the same material constitute spam and are accordingly banned Scenario B: Poster 1 blocks Poster 2, but Poster 2 has an ally in Poster 3. Poster 3 accordingly begins quoting and reposting every single post made by Poster 2. Chaos ensues. Possible solutions: We take away the feature. Don't abuse it, folks. This thread is for (a) letting me know whether the feature works and (b) offering me gifts in thanks. It is not for you to catalog the posters you've chosen to ignore, or to otherwise instigate conflict. P.S. You can't ignore mods. Hahahahahahahahhaah suck it.

Yeah, I was pretty lost until I decided to run with the "Fuck it, let's see what happens" approach. So far, we're still posting, so I didn't explode the board yet.

I wish there were a way to know how many people blocked me. It would be an interesting statistic. Don't want to know who - just how many.

I am not a fan of the "ignore" feature. It took us a while to finally develop a connection with everyone and start relationships. I realize that in your case, HG, that people like to give you shit for whatever reason, but other than that silly drama, I'd rather keep things civil and pleasent without the threat of the ignore feature. Is it THAT important to have this new feature?

Is it THAT important to have this new feature? Well we have it and I don't see a point in taking it away. As I ate mentioned, if it's abused it will be pretty obvious. I think HG will block squatchcreep, and none of the rest of us really talk to squatchcreep anyway, so I can't see how it's going to make much difference.

I want to apologize to everyone for contributing so extensively to the disruption around here lately. I've mentioned before that I got the OCD's; the brake pedal can be difficult to locate sometimes.
Anyway, I'm sure business will proceed as usual for the most part. People will block me, whatever, they're missing out because I'm fucking Horned Gramma.

Makes people think before they speak (sometimes). At least you're honest.

Makes people think before they speak (sometimes). At least you're honest. I respect that too. He maintains order and says the shit all of us are thinking but won't say. I understand that creep was being obnoxious and disrupted order, so I understand why HG benefits, but it does feel more tense for sure.
