scottb Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Does this board have an ignore function and how do you use it? I've heard peolpe make reference to an ignore function but never paid attention because I thought I'd never have use for it. Lately, someone has developed cyber diarrhea and I'm tired of stepping in their shit on every thread. Before I let the evil inside me either eat me alive or explode out on someone else I better start ignoring! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 The software currently does not have an ignore function. It will when I upgrade the board to version 2.0, which I have waiting in the wings. I'm still waiting for the server admin to give me the okay, however. Quote

Before I let the evil inside me either eat me alive or explode out on someone else I better start ignoring! Scottb, I feel your pain and smell the same shit! Up to now I have managed to mentally obstruct the few obsessive posters but lately there has been a couple of uninteresting and largely ignorant posters who have staged tsunamis of their own. Never thought I would be using an ignore button on this Board but the need grows more obvious each day! Quote
andybleaden Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) I don't get the hassle.....just ignore the ones that are a pain in the rear end. I do. Certain names I just skate past knowing that they have an axe to grind so I move on ...easy as that Edited March 31, 2005 by andybleaden Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 I hope this ignore function comes back soon. Quote
scottb Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 It will when I upgrade the board to version 2.0, What do you need? A check? How much? Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 I'm sure it's not that much. If it is I'll chip in. Arrg, one poster just get's on my nerves! Quote
Claude Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 As long as posts on this board are not read aloud by the computer, the ignore function of the brain should do the trick. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 It will when I upgrade the board to version 2.0, What do you need? A check? How much? That's not the problem. The current server the board resides on won't support Version 2, so Jim has been waiting to hear that the board's been migrated to another server before he can upgrade himself. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 In the mean time, as Claude said, we must use the ignore function of the brain to block out those very annoying posters. (well just one for me. ) Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 It will when I upgrade the board to version 2.0, What do you need? A check? How much? Enough to pay for the first batch of CD's, of the next Organissimo release. Quote
RainyDay Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 If I may humbly make a suggestion: When someone is put on ignore, it would create less drama if it's not announced on the board. This feature sometimes ends up being a club for those who have issues with other posters and the act of ignoring becomes an issue and much drama ensues. Just my two cents. Quote
Use3D Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Just asked for them to be banned. A banning cost only 1000 posts. Quote

Whoever you ignore is completely within your account and no one knows, unless you tell anyone that person is ignored. Quote
catesta Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Just asked for them to be banned. A banning cost only 1000 posts. It could be the best 1000 posts ever spent. Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Does that mean I could get up to 7 people banned??? Hmmm.... Let me see... Quote
tonym Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Hang on...if I had a 'buddy' I could go on for ever like this. Maybe inhabit entire threads. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 I hear keys jangling..... Tony... you sure live dangerously! Actually, you do. I watched that video clip of your car club. You guys were screaming down those roads... hmmm.... looks like fun! Quote

Whoever you ignore is completely within your account and no one knows, unless you tell anyone that person is ignored. You are right. What I'm talking about is when the person is put on ignore, then the ignorer goes on line and posts that the ignoree is now on the ignorer's ignore list. Then the ignoree gets all bent out of shape and he and his supporters line up over here, and the ignorer's supporter's line up over there, and an online shootout ensues. Get it? Oh, shoot, just ignore this. B-) Quote
