Title: Ignore User
Post by: The Old One on May 03, 2019, 09:58:26 PM
Any chance of the "ignore" function hiding a post completely?
Title: Re: Ignore User

Because the threads wouldn't make sense if they were just completely gone. People would still be replying to posts you can't see.

Alter it so the ignored person's posts are unavailable to view, otherwise- what's the point?
Especially when I know a poster/post
only exists to grind gears or stir shit.

Just don't click on option to view link.

Otherwise I'd have entire pages on some threads that'd be completely blank.  ;D

I for one like being able to "time out" some posters, then check their posts later to see if it's ok to unblock them.

Same. Saves derailing threads into fights.

Think ignore/block is ok for something like Twitter, where the majority of people seem to be mouth breathing ignoramuses, but not so much for a forum like this, where people mainly stay on topic instead of derailing threads with schoolyard insults.

Or whinging instead of addressing the OP's post.
"Mainly" is very subjective.

Agree to disagree. Differences of opinion don't necessarily equal stirring shit.

It does whenever you opt out of partaking in the actual subject of discussion.

Can someone let me know if I'm missing out on a good conversation or not???

Wait... you redid my joke, by replying to my joke, a joke you can't read?

As evidenced in the above, rather than derail with insults they derail with spam - but all the same they derail.

My effort wasn't to derail, but to diffuse. I like Rankles and Old One's my sis. We're all friends here and levity is often used in that way to prevent conversations from getting too heated.

And I recommend revisiting the definition of spam. I don't think you're using it correctly here. Cheers. :)

For someone who uses levity to diffuse situations, you sure like being utterly humourless and ignoring levity to create a situation when you think you're being criticised :D

Just pointing out that threads still get derailed frequently and justify blocking people. No need to take it to heart :)
