Hi j-squared, or rdfreak. I think it would be a good idea to have an ignore feature on message boards. Is that still in the works? I think it's needed. Thank you,
wonderwoman
well .. i personally can't see how this would work because you'd well .. wouldn't you have to view their names kinda anyway? dunno. but yeah even if it some how could be set up where you can miss a certain person's name and post, you may miss a whole piece to a topic and therefore, get confused. .. dunno .. how can you see this working? reply maybe with a plan of how you can see it working?
I don't see how it will work. it's like rdfreak said, you could miss a whole piece to a topic. I read all the posts, even if they're saying something not nice. It doesn't really worry me.
So you can avoid the nasty guys hmm? Sadly its unfair to all Zoners and smacks of wanting more control over the site than is healthy for 1 individual.
I'd have to agree with everyone here so far. How would that work, you'd still have to read the names of the people posting, and how would you know
to ignore them in the first place? Even though you might not want to read something that might be offensive to you, you'd never know what the other person had to say if you just ignore them. I just don't think it would be fair to yourself or sometimes the other person, to do that, just because someone might say something that offends you one time, might say something that is positive to you another time. And also, you already have the Safe Haven board, which seems to be a good break from most of the contraversy and even from offencive language. If you don't like what someone else has to say and still rather just ignore it, I would think that your best bet is to just use the tab key and skip over their names if you don't want to read certain posts, or just tab past the topics you're not interested in reading. Also, if you don't want to hear from a certain person on Quicknotes, there's now an ignore feature whenever someone contacts you and you don't want to talk to them.

agreed. The old saying is you see someone you kind of want to ignore on the boards, then just skip over their post in that discussion. Or if they were the ones who started the discussion don't even open it.
Hi, I kind of agree on both fronts. On one hand it would be nice if this feature were here, I can't think of anyoen I'd ignore right now if I could, but if someone really was saying bad things even in okay topics, I might want to ignore them. But it does make sense about the whole missing a piece of a topic if you do that. So I think maybe skipping over them would be the best thing to do. I dunno... Caitlin
And Goblin, don't say that to Wonderwoman. She has every right to ignore who she pleases, male or female. How can you think it's just to ignore people who confront her? That's just mean. Caitlin
Thanks Hon, and Goblin, just because I feel it best if I could put someone on ignore doesn't mean everyone else has to. It's a personal choice. Just because I might put someone on ignore doesn't mean that person would be on ignore for all. There, I said it, just a suggestion, over and out.

Go WW! Lol! Nicely said. Caitlin
Wonderwoman, since you keep telling us your age, why don't you act it? Putting people on ignore is the sort of thing school kids might do in the playground don't you think? It's quite easy really, if you don't like someone and you are not interested in what they have to say, then don't read their bloody posts!! Frey.
The whole point of a discussion board is to discuss events and/or opinions. Inevtiably there will be different points of view, if this particular discussion is inspired by a certain "to be read by nice folks only" topic, well, there is nothing offensive in that discussion at all that warrants any ignoring of any kind, no demeaning language or personal insults (or if theere are they are at least handled in a civilized way and completely within the framework of accepted behavior). I think ignoring someone on a discussion board is impossible, if you don't want to read it, don't read it, and furthermore, do not post replies to it since you did not bother read the discussion even. Otherwise just stick to the topics you feel will not have the displeasing or unconfrotable messages and that's totally fine too.
Caitlin, I think Goblin's suggestion was well warranted seeing as it was rather obvious how this particular post was inspired, don't see why he should be appologetic about making that assertion.
But, anyways, that's my two cents.
cheers

thankyou B I've no intention of apologising .smile
Lol okay okay I see I've lost this one and I apologize to all of you. Sorry. Really, I mean it, I'm not trying ot be sarcastic or start anythign lol. Sorry.
Ok folks, time to let this one go.
I think WonderWoman grossly overstepped her boundries and if she appologized to us males I would be perfectly satisfied. I don't think she will though, sadly, but regardless of that, I think it's time to let this thing go and just continue zonning out happily like we've always done .. cheers
