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.
-
I second this. Not that it's a democracy or anything, but FWIW.
edit, that sounded pissy, not the way I meant it.
-
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:

Ah, ok! We'll take a look-see :)

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 ;D

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.
-
I would love to see this implemented. I imagine that many people would love to block me as well. Win-win.
-
Is this the reason for the increase of new usernames going to P&R?
-
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.

sorry....

sorry....
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 ;D 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 ;D
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 ;D ).
For others, the ability to block out the forum of a "competitor" product is a step they SHOULD take ;D

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.
:cheers:
-
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!
-
Maybe monkeybomb has an "only monkey" complex.
-
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.
-
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! :laugh2:
-
Hey, I reassemble that remark :cheers:
-
Hey, I reassemble that remark :cheers:
baah don't worry Mission...I feel like I resemble almost every remark made at byoac. Yea, it's a rough life. I would really feel for you being labeled as incomprehensible as I, Although I believe on this one we just have to consider the source! :P
-
Hey, I reassemble that remark :cheers:
Did it fall apart or something?

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 ;D
-
Ah, but the occasional zinger from the peanut gallery can make the cold night a little warmer.

I just want to know...Who is this "special" kid you speak of?
-
If we told you you'd know.
-
You can't miss the "special" kid. He spells like he's 2, wears a helmet even when he's NOT tumbling down hills in his Bronco or hatching some plot to rule the world while riding his lawnmower and drinking beer......man, if you don't know who the "special" kid is here, I can't go and ruin it for ya, you've gotta EXPERIENCE that guy!
Hopefully Saint's forum "fix" worked this time, otherwise he'll be along to post sooner or later ;D
-
:w00t
Edit: ummm Saint... we really need the woot guy smilie

Attempting to post.... Ah, good, I must not be the "special" guy... or Saint's "fix" didn't work....
Damn, now I'll never know.
-
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 ;D
-
and I was soooo :scared 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
-
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.
-
ha I can still post
this was a test to test a test....
-
Don't worry... your testes are small and inoffensive. Test away.
-
testes, testes, one...two...THREE?
-
I just can't understand why you all would feel the need to globally block somebody. So Dartful lacks any capacity to say something funny yet says the same not-funny thing over and over for years on end in a futile attempt to finally make it work. So Chad argues every point compulsively, sometimes going so far as to abandon the position expressed in his previous post, just so he can continue arguing if you happen to agree with him. So Drew is a religious zealot with a tendency to derive his world view from extremist websites. So Howard's a pompous ass. So Dexter's raison d'etre is to hate America. So Mr. C has responds like a dos prompt to button pressing. So Fredster's arguments always consist of either wild leaps of incomprehensible logic or mind-boggling oversimplifications. So Chrirs is scared of his own shadow. So I'm a bloody narcissistic know-it-all (by the way, that's the figurative/pejorative know-it-all, not the literal kind).
So ---smurfing--- what. Some people just want to scrub their world clean and it makes no sense to me. Ya know, Drew, when you talk to your wife about something someone said on the arcade message board, do you talk about what Fredster says, or do you talk about what Dexter says? AtomSmasher, when Howard pisses you off and you post a rant back at him, think about how much more clearly and articulately you know how you feel about the issue afterward.
Part of what makes life interesting are the people who are different than us. Part of what makes life interesting are the people we don't like.
And, anyway, don't ya think it'll get kind of old when you start reading posts that make absolutely no sense because they are responding to, or building off of a previous post that you can't see because of your ignore settings?
-
I just want to ignore large posts that take over 2 minutes to read ;D
-
I just want to ignore large posts that take over 2 minutes to read ;D
If that post took you longer than 2 minutes (hell, ONE minute) to read, you need Hooked On Phonics
Ya know, Drew, when you talk to your wife about something someone said on the arcade message board, do you talk about what Fredster says, or do you talk about what Dexter says?
Is this just part of you trying to make a point and feeling like you have to use SOMEONE as an example, or haven't you read this thread.....and comprehended what was said? If it's the latter, Chad's rubbing off on you.
-
Wow, way to spray at so many specific people in a single shot. :lame:
-
*sniff* I didn't get a mention.
-
Is this just part of you trying to make a point and feeling like you have to use SOMEONE as an example,
It is this. My point isn't that you want to globally ignore a bunch of people. I just picked two people who are diametrically opposed to eachother and argue a lot on the board. It could have just as easily have been Mr. C and Dartful. Whatever. I'm just illustrating that sometimes the people who cause conflict are also the ones that make life interesting for us, and you and Dexter are two people who have a lot of conflict and are active enough that everybody knows what I'm talking about.
p.s. Sorry Saint. You've gotta stop being so balanced and reasonable if you want to hang with the PnR boys :P

That's an awful verbose "yes" ;D
-
What's this all about? If you want to ignore i would suggest not logging on.
Maybe we all can have conversations with ourselves posting one on top of the other of our own threads without any interaction at all.
I think some of you are taking things way too personal if you're going to the length of blocking a person. It's the intranet, deal with it. To me blocking defeats the whole reason to be on here talking to people.
-
If there is a particular user that happens to lower your enjoyment of the board, I think you should be able to block them. I also think that if a certain number of people block a user, that user should be banned.
-
I think before you consider censoring people or allowing others to censor, you may want to consider removing the forums causing the most "issues". Namely the Political discussions forum. I find myself oddly attracted to the utter and complete mess that is posted in that forum...but it's a source of frustration....a source of frustration I just can't let loose of.
This forum should be all about FUN, but once a person starts posting in the Politics forum, what is said there gets "used" all over the forum by people who disagree with the posters politics.
Is it really necessary to have that type of forum on this type of website? I mean, there are a boat load of political forums you can go participate in if you wanted to...not sure if it's necessary here...
But while it's here I can't help myself from going in and participating in that train wreck.
-
PnR protects the rest of the board from that stuff. Without PnR, it just goes into EE.
BTW, there should never be a mechanism for a group of users to be able to ban another user. Never.
-

Agreed 100%. Bottom line is that the moderators are here to...well...moderate. They should (and do) have the power to ban....only them.
-
They shouldn't have the power to ban either. Suspend, yes, but only the owner should have the right to ban.
-
Other than obvious spammers, I think we can count the number of banned folks on one hand...
-

When do people "use" things outside of P&R. I don't read everthing but I can say I have ever seen this, personally.

So everyone who wants to participate shouldn't be able to because some people don't have the will power to stay away?
Could we make it subscription based so that even if your logged in, you won't see it unless you subscribe to it? Would that keep you away?
-
I find myself oddly attracted to the utter and complete mess that is posted in that forum...but it's a source of frustration....a source of frustration I just can't let loose of.
Ever stop to consider that if so many can figure out how not to let it bother them that the problem might very well be yours? ::)

-
Don't we have an internal "Global Ignore" when we just freaking SKIP the post?
It's not like their are kids reading it. And it's not like a adult can't just skip to the next guy if they don't wanna watch. What happens when somebody quotes from the "global" ignore?
If you don't wanna do PnR, then don't CLICK it. If you don't like a guy who posts, ignore them on your own. Just like if you don't wanna watch a chanel, CHANGE IT.
-
Yeah, but I want to globally ignore everyone and hang on my own BYOAC. :woot
-
So Mr. C has responds like a dos prompt to button pressing.
I'm a GNU/Linux distribution, beeyatch! Power to the people!!

-

Ahh Chad. You're doing that now. ;D
-
You do know Chad steals those "Who Am I" photos from Kevin Smith's PC right? Obviously his real face is far to important to reveal to the unwashed masses.

BTW, there should never be a mechanism for a group of users to be able to ban another user. Never.
It works well on Digg. If enough users (some obscenely high number) add a user to their personal block list, they get blocked. It works well if you set the number high enough, as it weeds out only the most annoying of the annoyers.
-
If you don't like the P&R section, just don't go in there. Some of my first posts were in there...but I haven't been back in there since. I have no desire to cloud my perception about others, or other's about me, by what is posted there.
I come here for arcade info and humor! I occasionally find one or the other. ;D

Bumping to see if SirWoogie ever found a way to implement this mod?
-
I've implemented this mod in a 1.1.4 install of SMF it's painfully easy. I'm sure the question should be did they decide to implement it.
-
I did, but it will not install here. Don't know why. Fails every single time. :(
-
Anyone else find it ironic that 2 deleted members have posts on this page of the thread? ;D
-
I sort of remember MikeQ... but who is jhanson and why was he tossed? ???
-
I did, but it will not install here. Don't know why. Fails every single time. :(
So your forum ignores the global ignore function? Irony level = Red!
-
More like it tries to ignore but fails - possibly then ending up in PnR.
-
The forum has become self-aware. Massive post nukes are next as MAMEnet takes over and destroys all humans arcade collections.
-
The question is - whose awareness is it? Could you imagine a self aware forum made up of MaximRecoil's posts? Or tommy's? Or god forbid mine?
-
I did, but it will not install here. Don't know why. Fails every single time. :(
Did it kick you an error like it was corrupt? If so, I can help. I had this problem at first too
-
If you get a warning like "I'm afraid I can't let you do that Dave" then you better stop messing with it.
-
I'll bet the error was closer to "everybody's dead Dave".
-
I did, but it will not install here. Don't know why. Fails every single time. :(

Thanks Goz - it's doing something weird and timing out on any mod install, but after the first timeout if I try again it works. No clue. I've got it installed now. :)
-
Is there any way to see who's ignore list I'm on? :)
-
I'm looking for the button, not seeing it. Not to use it mind you....just to know where it is as a retaliatory measure.
You ignore me, I ignore you right back. :P
For the record I think it is a bad idea...it causes people to cement their beliefs by insulating themselves, become unwaveringly obtuse, and unable to understand a different point of view. Also, it's a lazy way to stifle the opposition.
-

Would this really be any different to what you have been doing up till now?
-
You have to be using the SMF theme to have ignore work. With either theme however, if you go to your profile, there's a new link on the profile showing "Ignore user options" -- I *think* it will show you both who you're ignoring and whose ignoring you. It shows me both.
-
All it shows me is who I am ignoring... nothing about who is ignoring me.
-
Same here. :-\ Too bad.
-
Is that really necessary, though? I don't care who ignores me. Let half the membership do it if they want.
-
I don't know . . . I think it would be kind of fascinating. I imagine seeing names and thinking, "THAT GUY? I didn't know I'd ever pissed him off . . . "
-
Perhaps no one is ignoring either of you.
You could both place each other on your ignore lists then post to see if the other has posted if they can see it. Course you can't see each other so you wouldnt know...which would be the point! :laugh2:
Sounds like a Brady Bunch episode. ;D
-
That's not a bad point. Maybe no one is ignoring us... then again, look at who you're talking to... between me and shmokes I figured we'd be battling the leaderboards by now. ;D
I just noticed the ignore button on every post. Damn it's simple to ignore someone now. That may be too simple.
-
then again, look at who you're talking to... between me and shmokes I figured we'd be battling the leaderboards by now. ;D
Not to mention that Saint got onto someone's ignore list before either Chad or Me . . . LOL? ; :) Probably not.
-
When I go into my profile summary, it tells me how many people are ignoring me ... none at this point.
-
Is that really necessary, though? I don't care who ignores me. Let half the membership do it if they want.
What if it's more than half?
-
Then I'll be more than halfway there.
shmokes, it shows it in the public part of your profile, not on the ignore page of your settings. Just found it. 2 people are ignoring me. :cheers:
-
My public must still love me. Nobody is ignoring. ;D
-
1 Person is ignoring me....I wonder if my wife signed up on the forum without my knowledge?
-
My public must still love me. Nobody is ignoring. ;D
Since when does "not hate" equal love? Try that in a courtroom. ;D
-
Wow...just added to a second ignore list, now I'm even with Chad.
I wonder though...if you are ignoring someone who starts a thread...does the entire thread say "Currently Ignoring this Thread"?
-
I'm up to two now as well. I know one is Frizzle. I doubt that one will last seeing as he spends so much time in PnR. No idea who else is on the list.
-
I am randomly adding/removing each of you to/from my ignore list ... just because I need a little excitement (apparently very little)
-

Oh you know me too well Shmokes. I only temp-ignored you to goat you on a little...
I tend to ignore no one...even those who are wrong.
:cheers:
Plus, believe it or not (and I can't believe I am about to admit this)...but I sort of value your contributions to most discussions. While many are wrong, you do at least put some thought in to your posts most of the time (unlike some others).
-
If I ignore Saint, does that mean I can ignore his rules?
:cheers:
-
Back down to zero on the ignore list. I must have happened to look when I was ignored by Cheffo. :)
-
Thanks Cheffo...back down to 1 and I know who that is.
-
So who wants to start a pool to see how many "ignores" we can get added to? We'll need to set a time limit, highest count wins. Everyone kicks in $10, winner takes all >:D
-
Sounds sort of counterproductive to the purpose. Putting in a mod that lets us ignore tools only to have a competition on who can be the most tooly? :dizzy:

How many folks are ignoring you? Remember, you can be part of the Tool Nation.
I'm just making a point you got, evidently. I personally think it's a shame people can't act like adults. First it was "waaah :cry: I don't want to be able to read P&R and I can't stop myself", and now it's " :cry: I can't skip over someone's post even though I don't want to ever read what they have to say"
If only Yahoo had a Fantasy Ignorelist League
-
How many folks are ignoring you? Remember, you can be part of the Tool Nation.
I live just outside Boston. That makes me a charter member.

No, but Saint can ban you for a week during finals!

Give 'em time. If there's enough people who can't be responsible enough on their own and figure out how to blame the board software (or Saint), it'll come to fruition.
I darn near laughed out loud when I found a Lexus forum with a "Debate" section. Apparently, there are other forums out there that understand the concept! I can only imagine the whining that went on when that sub-forum was created. Oddly enough, I'm not interested in their "debates" and have somehow managed to stay out of there. Maybe I should document my behavior there and post it as a "How To:" here :laugh2:

Apparently, when someone is being ignored, a message indicating that "You are currently ignoring this member" is displayed in place of the post.
It would be nice for the reverse to also occur, where-in a message that states "You are currently being ignored by this member." displays in place of the ignoring person's post.
-
You are currently being ignored by this member.

I think that would be really lame. For example, Tommy, may he rest in peace, may have been so emotionally unstable that he would put me on his ignore list. But that doesn't mean I don't want to see his posts. Hell, I don't have Dartful ignored, and Tommy's posts were a damned sight more valuable than Dartful's are.
-
Seriously. The silent treatment is a chick move.

So maybe the message should be...."You've been cut off for a while by this member." ;D
-
"WunderCade is keeping his member to himself."
-
This member does not want you anywhere near his member
-

Your member has been cut off by this member.
-
So, at this point, ChadTower and Dartful Dodger are in the lead with three apiece. Wunder comes in a close second and DrewKaree and I have only one each. I need to step my game up.
-
Odd that someone would ignore you.
Is there a list for this or did you check a the profiles of likely "ignorees"? You might have missed pbj there.
-
There's no list. You have to think of the usual suspects on your own and then click individually on the person's name to see his profile. In there it will say, "Ignored by: x members". There could very well be someone I'm not thinking of who is ignored by more people, but I doubt it.

Yeah I guessed so. Like I said, I looked up pbj and (just now) ark_ader. They have 1 too.
-
The unsettling part about it is that the people I think would be ignoring me apparently aren't, so it leaves me wondering who the hell I pissed off without knowing about it.
I'm pretty sure Lag has me on ignore, so the other one has me somewhat vexed. Oh well....people who use ignore are necessarily ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- anyway, right?
-
Maybe its a new game?
See who has the most entertaining reaction to being ignored ...

Or, rather, ask who has the most entertaining reaction, since you can't actually see the person's reaction anymore. ;D

You and I could put each other on ignore to topple Wunder's attempt at ignore dominance.....or we could just go on being adults about ourselves ;D
-
This concept has me wondering something. There are topics that are considered taboo. Many accuse Wunder of being racist. The big picture is that "in order to fight racism, we need to educate people about it".
Isn't ignoring him effectively saying "we don't really give two steamers about racism because we're willing to pretend Wunder doesn't even exist and therefore won't address any of his points - thereby failing in the mythical goal of "education" as a cure?
-
Drew, you can't just cross out the word. You have to replace it with something or your sentence doesn't make sense. Your post-fu is weak.
As for your thing about racism, I think it's a valid point, but only to a point. There does come a time when ignoring it probably makes more sense, in the same way we ignore other nutters. The idea that white people are inherently superior to black people is as absurd as the flat-earth or the young earth. All three have been casually accepted as not even up for consideration in the past, and it's just taken longer for each to reach a point where such a large portion of society has come to accept the ridiculousness of the ideas that the hangers-on fade into irrelevance. So who knows? Maybe you do more damage even dignifying Wunder's racism with debate. Maybe that serves as much to establish his position as something legitimately worth arguing about as anything else.
Personally, I err on the side of intellectual debate, but that probably has more to do with my addiction to debate than any high-minded ideals. ;)

Where do you get this shite from?
Are you implying that I EVER implied that whites are inherently "superior to blacks"? You weren't really clear about the connection.
My posts about race have always pretty much revovled around controllable attributes such as the way a person acts or behaves or speaks or conducts themselves....never about something inherently racist like disliking skin color, which is far beyond a person's control. Yet there is always this nexus purported between me and that latter notion.
It has everything to do with what Drew pointed out. Painting me as a "racist" merely allows the conversation to meet an abrupt end, without actually delving into the issues. This despite the left always harping on about how we desperately need a honest discussion on race in this country.
Can't have it both ways my friends.
-
WunderCade, we've been through this so many times. Can't you just look back at our previous discussions instead of making me track down the same old threads to support my position over and over again? You know the threads I'm talking about (e.g., you have to hold your nose to vote for a black man with a muslim name -- both his skin color and name something given him at birth, having nothing to do with his behavior whatsoever).
-
I now have four. Can anyone beat that?
What's the opposite of ignore? Reading through the posts in this thread it looks like someone has a school boy crush on me too.
...Sorry dude, I'm not interested.
<edit>
Now it's five!!!
That makes me an ace! ...or is it an *ss?

I finally checked and I am being ignored by 1 person. If I had to guess, it would be McCoy.

QFT!
Please get rid of that damn thing.

I'm back down to 4.
I must be slipping.
-
My score is -1, I suppose, cos I'm back down to zero and ignoring one person.
