Right now there appears to be no way to ignore a troll. There's a mod to add such a function at http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=185 ... might be worth looking into.

Santoro · « **Reply #1 on:** September 19, 2006, 02:55:08 pm »

I second this. Not that it's a democracy or anything, but FWIW.

edit, that sounded pissy, not the way I meant it.

Stingray · « **Reply #2 on:** September 19, 2006, 04:41:46 pm »

Please add this feature ASAP so I can start ignoring pissy old Santoro.

Gonna ask SirWoogie to take a look - it does not appear to be compatible with our version of SMF however...

The thread at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=49149.165 seems to indicate that it is... The mod author says:

What was the verdict on this? If this is what caused mission and PDB to be unable to log in, could you please try it again

A very long time ago I would have blocked DK and it would have been very much to my own detriment both in terms of fun and genuine arcade info. People need to be careful with this idea. There will also be responses, even to a genuine troll, that will require that you read the other post. You know what I'm getting at. In most cases a manual ignore might be the best one.

ChadTower · « **Reply #8 on:** January 15, 2007, 02:52:12 pm »

I would love to see this implemented. I imagine that many people would love to block me as well. Win-win.

Dartful Dodger · « **Reply #9 on:** January 15, 2007, 07:05:01 pm »

Is this the reason for the increase of new usernames going to P&R?

AtomSmasher · « **Reply #10 on:** January 16, 2007, 10:08:15 am »

I too would love this feature, theres one user who pisses me off with just about every post they make forcing me to restrain myself from starting a flame war every time I come across one of their posts (no, its no one whos posted in here or even in P&R). I'm generally able to just ignore their comments, but would love to be able to have them automatically ignored so that its not even an issue.

WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS HARASS ME!!!

Just to be clear, that was a joke. The only problem I have with missioncontrol is his refusal to shower

I don't think the person who does bug me even checks this section of the forum and I'm pretty sure they know I don't like them anyways.

I just want to be able to block the people who troll here so I stop myself from helping them. It's my weak self-restraint or something

I get what you're saying, but some folks just let people eat at them and drive them nuts. I think a better idea would be to give the ability to block certain forums. The ability to even SEE the words "Politics n Religion" seem to be too much to handle, and I'd say a large number of the people who post in there understand the purpose for the forum, but others let the views those people post in there cloud their perspective of the person as a whole (I understand that I'm one of those, as well as my counterpart, Dexter

).

For others, the ability to block out the forum of a "competitor" product is a step they SHOULD take

Well I don't know much as most of you have probably figured by now. I stay away from the forum P&R. I'm scared to even go in there for some reason. I get enough of that on CNN. I don't even want to have my own opinion on that stuff cause I don't think I'm smart enough and it would probably take up too much of OUR time.

AS far as the rest of ya's, or whoever mentioned it, I could see where you would want DK on auto censor or block or whatever. Course I'm just a noob still trying to find my way around this place...trying to figure out if I belong here or not. What do you get when you mix 10,000 wackos all in the same chat room? C-H-A-O-S. I'm addicted to it.

ChadTower · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2007, 11:35:52 am »

Most of the people I would "ignore" rarely (if ever) contribute anything arcade related anyway.

I'm fairly positive that you believe you're the DK monkeybomb is referring to. If not, good joke on me, but if I'm right, I'm fairly positive that I'm the "DK" he was referring to.

Cheers, big ears!

ChadTower · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2007, 09:15:20 am »

Maybe monkeybomb has an "only monkey" complex.

patrickl · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2007, 05:42:06 pm »

Would be interested in an ignore filter too. Especially on some forums some people seem to lose all restraint.

On the other hand you probably see the trolling you're trying to ignore back in the quotes in replies anyway.

monkeybomb · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2007, 02:39:17 pm »

It was Drew. Like I said, it would have been my loss.

Ok so who are they talking about if someone says KD? I think I have been referred to as that now and then as well. Would this just be me and not you?...Remember the Dyslexia? Probably just me. However I gotta wonder about you sometimes there big guy. pssssst hehe

That's just someone infected with missioncontrol-itis. If it weren't for Firefox and the spellcheck, mission would be as incomprehensible as....well.....YOU sometimes!

I think you misjudge our capacity for apathy. It was caught long before Chad, but when you realize who posted it....well, that's just like picking on the "special" kid after you just got your butt kicked by someone tougher than you. Sure, it makes you feel better for a second or two, but in the end, it's just a hollow victory that was a given from the outset

You can't miss the "special" kid.

Hey Drew,

since everyone is at a loss on who the special kid is, perhaps you can bribe Saint to change the " official BYOAC surfer" to "the "special" kid" in his title to eliminate the confussion

Donkey_Kong · « **Reply #37 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:30:18 am »

and I was soooo

that I was the special kid

I understand why Mission has the title...we shouldn't be so blatant and public with such personal subject.

psssssst...you could hurt his feelings guys

ChadTower · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:34:19 am »

Don't feel left out, some of us think you're almost as special as he is. He was here first, though, so you'll have to have a little patience with the rest of us. One special kid is easy to manage, two or more present a much larger challenge. We'll get to you soon enough.
