Ignore Poster

[GSLeloo]

Hmm.. just wondering, if we had the option who would you ignore and why? I'll say mine later...

[imported_Kranar]

Well I am looking into programming an ignore feature, so soon all your wishes will come true.

[GSLeloo]

Could we ignore ourselves? lol... that might be cool.

[GSLeloo]

I'd ignore anyone who just like.. every post they make is only posted to be negative.

Thats a feature I am really looking forward to.

GO KRANAR!

[Latrinsorm]

It's going to wreak havoc on the tag threads. :yes:

[SpunGirl]

There are a few people here I disagree with on a regular basis. I wouldn't ignore them.

I'd ignore the people that refuse to contribute anything beyond, "Shut up, asshole/bitch/fuckface/et cetera."

[HarmNone]

::sniff::Moderators, I assume, cannot choose to ignore anybody.

HarmNone, with tongue in cheek

[GSLeloo]

Oh I disagree with lots of people... but on other topics I can find them great, you know? Certain people are only here to be negative and that's wrong and they're the ones I would block.

[Betheny]

So it's wrong to be pessimistic, now?

Jeeze, when did THAT law get passed.

[SpunGirl]

I knew this was going to happen.

::sits back to watch::

-K

[GSLeloo]

If all you have are negative comments to say, you're pretty pointless in any useful conversation. So those people would be the ones I would ignore. And there wouldn't be constant negative interruptions in every thread.

[Betheny]

No, but every thread would be about you and the SUPER SPIFFY AWESOME stuff you've done, and how SUPER AWESEOME AND SPIFFY you are?

Get a life, get a job, welcome to the real world.

edited to add: I wonder who the first person Leloo is going to ignore is? <whistle>

[Sweets]

I have a few in mind. *shhhhh* It's not that they are disagreeable...it's because they usually only talk out their ass to make an ass of themselves. They have nothing to contribute.

[HarmNone]

Seriously, I think there is only one person I would ignore, were I not a Moderator. That person is just a hit and run poster, never contributes anything but vitriolic comments, and is generally not an issue. Just gets on my last nerve. :D

HarmNone does have one last nerve left

[Betheny]

red devil?

[GSLeloo]

See Maimara, that right there is the point. I mean seriously, are you that bitter of a person? I am not a super spiffy person, I can be mean, I can be stupid, and I can be a horrible person. I can also be kind and that's something I never see you be.

And I am going to college to get a career so that I not only have some job, but a good one that will carry me for the rest of my life. I do have a life, but you're so negative all you want to do is put me down and I don't really care to always have to listen to that. So yeah, I'd probably put you on ignore when the option comes out. Why should I even have to see constant negative posts from you?

See the thread about France for my answer. And every other thread you start ragging on me in.

[HarmNone]

Bingo, Maimara! ;)

HarmNone does not like that one

IMO, Leloo, Maimara's posts aren't really bothersome.

The nice thing about these boards is that you can basically say what you want, "so-and-so is a fuckstain" style. On the main BBS you have to sugarcoat it and be really vague as to what you're talking about or Ysbail will pull your post. Or someone else, but mostly Ysbail.

That, and we have a whole five categories devoted to complaints. And sometimes negativity is just an opinion, and some people have a lot of negative opinions... I know I'm rambling, but there is negativity in the world.

It's a good thing to get used to.

-K

[CrystalTears]

I don't believe Maimara to be as negative as some seem to think. She's just honest in her opinions and beliefs and see nothing wrong in that. Not everyone is going to reply in a nice, sweet, angelic tone, so it's nice when people answer in their own ways. It adds spice to the boards. Although yes, those who ONLY respond with vulgar and useless posts don't contribute to the conversation, but they still have a right to state them.

There's a difference between not liking someone because their views always differ from yours, than someone who is always negative with no point in their statements. I think Maimara falls in the former, but that's just me.

[GSLeloo]

What annoys me about Maimara was like... there could be pages and pages of some thread on some fine topic. And she'd come out of nowhere and just say something negative about someone. Am I saying she should be sugar coated? of course not, that's what I like about these boards. I'm just saying that if we're given the option, I personally would probably block her.

[Betheny]

I rarely come out of nowhere and say anything. If I say something, it's rarely because someone doesn't deserve it. I rarely say something 'mean' about people I don't know or have no experience with. So do us both a favor and stop saying shit like that, and stop baiting me into making arguements.

[Ben]

Can you add a feature that makes a boxing glove on a spring fly out of Sean's computer and punch him in the face?

I dunno, but we could save our pennies and send Ben on an all expenses paid trip to Chino Hills, CA with a boxing glove and a camcorder!

[SpunGirl]

Ben is a genius.

[GSLeloo]

I didn't bait you into this, you came on your own and started it on your own. I don't even feel like arguing with you, we both have different opinions and we can't change them.

Hun... when you go off on her in one thread for being always being negative and then start another thread about how it sucks when people are always negative and you'd block them.... that's baiting.

I understand wanting to get things off your chest, but don't be surprised when people argue back.

-K

[GSLeloo]

There are more people than Maimara that are negative. I don't even know if I'd actually block her, it's almost fun to argue with her when you're in the right mood. She chose to put herself into the people I was describing.

You described her in *exactly* that manner in another thread. I don't see any reason she wouldn't "put herself" there.

-K

[Betheny]

No, I chose to post as I've posted for the past however damn long I've posted here. YOU chose to take offense to something that had nothing to do with you and start your little temper tantrum about it.

[GSLeloo]

Hmm.. I probably did. Lately I've just found most of her posts to be rather cruel almost. But actually there were two threads where I liked what she posted, I agreed with her on them and like... I don't know, they didn't see mean to me.

[Betheny]

1. I don't post here to please or displease you, you are inconsequential.

2. I did not just fall off the tree, okay? If I post about someone, chances are it's because I have had either a positive or a negative experience with that person. Therefore it isn't uncalled for.

3. I fail to see how you can rag on me for posting as I do, yet you don't freak out on StrayRogue. He and I post in the same manner. Sarcasm-heavy.

[GSLeloo]

Because maybe I don't see the posts of his that are, but I don't find his to be constantly pointed at certain people to be cruel to them.

[Betheny]

Seriously, I probably wouldn't have even mentioned it but you use the terms 'every post' 'always', etc. And I looked back on the things I've posted, and I don't see very many that I would even consider toning down. Most of what's posted is for humor content, maybe you just didn't understand that or something. I'm not sure. But it's really getting on my nerves, because I sure don't think I did anything wrong, nor did I attack you except in my own defense.

So could you please elaborate on exactly what it is that I do that makes your blood boil so much? If this is about the Travus thread, keep in mind you guys were already off topic, and those posts were taken way more seriously by you and Neff than by anyone else.

I think you need to re-evaluate and maybe read ALL the posts instead of focusing just on the ones that seem to get under your skin. They're not meant to get under your skin. I promise that.

[StrayRogue]

I would pay for Ben's option.

[HarmNone]

Hey, Ben! You just might have a shot at a free jaunt to sunny Southern California, and a chance to punch Sean out as a bonus! What a deal! :D

HarmNone is selling this one hard

[Betheny]

I want to go, too, so I can insult Sean in person and see the shocked look on his face when he realizes that he isn't in the Matrix anymore.

[GSLeloo]

What was the Travus thread? And I think what bothered me most was some I saw about.. what is that kids name. Garr? Not just in his thread but you randomly say in another something about seeing him drown in water.. and that was a bit mean to me and then in some thread he made you were just all over him. Now maybe it's a joke, and if it is please tell me you didnt mean it seriously. But otherwise I thought you were being rather harsh and cruel towards him.

[GSLeloo]

By the way, which one is Sean again?

[StrayRogue]

I think most the stuff she posts on here is just sarcastic, or perhaps just a evily veiled truth. Don't take it too seriously. I know I don't.

:::wails::: its me isnt it!:o

[Betheny]

At work, we have these buckets with big warning signs on them. "A child can drown in only 1/2 an inch of water, DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED".

That's what I was referring to...

[StrayRogue]

Daina said she, so its not me atleast :D

[HarmNone]

Sean=Isbin, Ganryu...any number of jackasses that bedevil Elanthia guided by his idiot hand. :D Sean has also made an ass of himself on these boards numerous times, under numerous aliases (of which he takes another every time he is banned).

HarmNone finds little good in Sean

[GSLeloo]

Yeah we had those.. I think at some babysitting course I had to take.

[Betheny]

I wasn't referring to him actually drowning. Just the child remark. I thought it was kind of obvious. I looked for one of those signs on the 'net to post with it, but I went to bed instead.

[Ladyteeoncy]

You can drown in a teaspoon of water...I've tried...:::hiccups:::

[Ladyteeoncy]

:::sits and pokes Daina:::

I always rise to a good challenge! :bouncy::roll:

[Edaarin]

I hope I'm not there to watch when you have to go out into the real world Leloo.

[Weedmage Princess]

I will be putting TIJAY on ignore because he is a BILLS FAN THE BASTARD!!!

..hee..actually, like Harm None, I won't be ignoring anyone. This is because I am nosy and don't want to miss anything good..heh.

I will say, for those of you who will be adding people to your ignore list, I hope you don't do that, then decide to start bashing them in your posts, because that would mean you are a major lame ass.

[SpunGirl]

Actually, it would be really funny if we all put Sean on our Ignore list and then just bashed him. If he knew we couldn't see his insults, he might blow a fuse.

-K

[Weedmage Princess]

You know, Spun Girl, you have a damn good point.

Okay...I am changing my declaration of lame ass-dom.

If you put SEAN on ignore and bash him, then that's good.

But if you do it to anyone else, then yeah you're a lame ass.

[Snapp]

Honestly, I think I'm too curious to put anyone on ignore, except maybe one of the people in my sig.

It's Snapp, right? Don't worry, I won't tell him.

[Kurili]

First off, I too am way too nosy to ignore anyone.

However...if I were to...it would be ::drum roll::

SHE WHOSE NAME MUST NOT BE SPOKEN!

And her spouse. For further hints, read Snapp's sig.

Acolyte Kurili, waxing sarcastic

[Weedmage Princess]

YOU WOULD IGNORE LONGSHOT, SNAPP?!

[Snapp]

The secret's out!!

[Weedmage Princess]

LOL Snapp I love the creative use of the word "curious."

Admit it...you are NOSY!!! LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!! :P

**edited because I thought it was Kurili who said curious, not Snapp..heh.

[Edited on 11-16-2003 by Weedmage Princess]

[GSLeloo]

I do admit that I really wouldn't ignore anyone. As someone else said, it's the curiosity thing. Even if you HATE them, you still want to know what they say.

[HarmNone]

I have absolutely no desire to know what Red Devil has said. None.

HarmNone has none

Tayre, like Daina said, SWNMNBS does a search for her name. You are NOT going to bait me into saying it with your little Lady Voldemort ruse. Wont work, uh uhh.

I wasnt born yesterday, Sonny!

If i put people on ignore i cant see them talk crap about me..

I think the ignore poster feature is a bad idea personally.

It could take away from the little continuity that exists in the threads here.

I think we are all mature enough to practice self-censorship.

I do think that StrayRogue's post timer should be increased to five minutes. Possibly eight...

And The Edine should be on rampant posting probation.

...you'd be amazed at how untrue that is...heh.

[Caiylania]

I don't like the ignore idea myself. To reuse a very old pun... even a broken clock is right twice a day. You never know when someone will say something you might actually want to read, and also... if people are replying, you won't know what is going on.

Of course, people usually quote everyone, so you could always see that, but then what is the point of ignoring if your going to see it anyway?

[GS4Gurl]

I don't think the ignore feature is necessary. I think if you post your opinion then you should have to deal with other peoples opinions as well. Only fair. Though, if I were to ignore anyone it would be Sean. I really really like the blowing the fuse idea Spun had.

I might put the girls name Daina is referring to as well. She whos name cannot be spoken, but then I might not because she's so nutty its kind of a shame to waste a good laugh. :lol: And that I am nosey too. :D

[GSLeloo]

Um... which one is Ben?

[Rastaman]

The dimwitted racist

[StrayRogue]

Despite my initial reservations of Ben (I hate rascits too), he does provide a somewhat balanced and anti-geek perspective many of us tend to lose.

[HarmNone]

Ben is one of the posters on this forum, Leloo. He posts under the name...Ben. :)

HarmNone

[Rastaman]

The thought process of any racist is obviously flawed therefore their opinoin should be discounted.

[Hips]

I wouldn't ignore anyone. I don't dislike any of you, and I don't think any of you dislike me, so... as long as we all get along I don't see the reason to ignore anyone. :bounce:

Edited to add:

And even if we don't get along, I don't see the reason to ignore anyone either...

[Edited on 11-16-2003 by GS3 Michiko]

I can't stand you

[Adhara]

Maimara is direct, opinionated and emotional. Her language is very colorful and she's not afraid of using strong words. She is not always negative and when she is, she can back it up.

When I read the opening post of the thread, my very first thought was "Leloo's talking about Maimara" so yes, I would say you baited her.

As for the question asked, Red Devil would go on my ignore immediately. Bob and Klaive too, if they come back.

[Overlord]

Meh, being a member and moderator/admin of various forums i've seen plenty of examples the ignore option would be viable for. My only reason for using it would be to remove spammers posts from my sight. Big problems we have on others forums are prepubescent punks posting random crap and obliterating REASONABLE threads, subsequently getting them locked. So far i don't see that as much of an issue here. I have ignore on one of my php forums and meh no one uses it lol. Hell give it a go, can't honestly do any harm.

[peam]

No one bugs me enough to ignore them.

The worst I ever see is stupid-ass "yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't, yes you did, no you didn't" style arguments, and I'm quite capable of ignoring those threads on my own.

[Edited on 11-16-2003 by peam]

[Ravenstorm]

Ignore posters? Whatever for?

Personally, I believe several people who post here to be juvenile, moronic specimens who could easily qualify as poster children for ad campaigns warning about the dangers of fetal alcohol syndrome.

But if I ignored their posts, I'd lose out on whatever amusement value there is in mocking them and their assinine opinions. Assuming of course it's worth bothering, which most of the time it isn't. I wouldn't want to limit my options like that, however.

[imported_Kranar]

Sean's been banned for like 2 years.

There's no need to ignore him.

[Latrinsorm]

How about a little damnatio memorae? (I think it is). It was some deal in Athens where you would be erased from history. No one would even mention you and you'd be removed from all the pottery/history. Y'all could make it like a poll.
