Topic: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. - page 8. (Read 27265 times)

Can you point to any member of the community with an opaque "ignore" highlight who is not frequently abrasive?

This is the exact same thing as the reputation system back when I was doing the difficulty equilibrium discussion.

Actually, it's worse, because there are no positive votes and people who are calm tend to not use it as much, since there's really little point in not seeing certain posts. Plus, being more active automatically makes you "darker" due to noise.

Obviously I'm against this for personal reasons, but it is also quite clear that the behavior of this feature isn't good. I'd prefer a plain web of trust, where people can't just mark an unlimited amount of others as bad anonymously. People who understand ignore the new system, newbies are confused, and we're back where we started.

Really, if someone wants to mark me for the flamewar, just do it by hand. If you see hordes trolling, just temp-ban them until they stop. Those are methods that actually work, this one is a designed exploit.

Yeah, it sucks. I used to be able to get away with ignoring the non-English boards, but ever since that Klamm spammer came around I had to disable that

It's easier to just ignore the entire auctions board, but I guess you can't really be doing that since you are a global mod lol.

Only person I ignore is that gem dude.

I say the only thing I might like to be ignorant of is the number of ignores I currently have 

Same here. I don't have anyone on ignore.

+1

I don't see the point in ignoring anyone.  I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I consciously knew I was ignorant in any capacity.

Hey! I'm feeling a little necro-postical this morning as I have just seen my Ignore stats for the very first time, and was brought back here to re-live fond memories by clicking on them.

So- here's my legit thought... if we are going to honor Ignores by giving them this whole Ignore Color Shading Protocol Mechanism (ICSPM) shouldn't we also have a parallel but far more positive version in having an Optional Un-ignore Color Shading Protocol Mechanism (OUCSPM)? That way members of our community could select those authors that they find worthwhile to follow and in effect "subscribe" by noting their posts as being the type that they would make an effort to read. Rather than just making a big noise about who is getting ignored, which does nothing but bring attention to the malcontents and the ninnyhammers who think they should control free expression of ideas, we offer a positive shading option for those who are well respected and followed.

With an OUCSPM in place we would highlight those members of our community whose prose is memorable, and worthy of following, in spite of the negative reactions of the intellectually impaired who want to stick their fingers in their ears and la-la-la as the day is long so they don't hear anything that conflicts with their narrow world view.

What say you world?

I don't really see a need for an arbitrary autoban after x, if someone is going to be banned it should be for something specific they did, not just that they're unpopular because of their views or opinions. I find contrary opinions/views bring a lot of value to the forum because it brings about good discussion which informs everyone reading.

auto-ban after 50?

Wow, Randy, your piss is really dark.  Drink some water, bro.

Just go troll the BFL threads. You'll get there.

Just noticed this:



Groovy.  So how many do I have?  3, 4, or 5?  How many do I need to make the piss list?

I apologize for being wrong, and let me put things right.

Thank you, too, Matthew for promoting this feature and donating for it.

I'm not changing my mind however, and this is exactly how it's been working out for me. There are indeed, few cases where someone from my "ignored" squad posts something worthwhile reading. If this happens, I am sure to find it quoted under someone else's post. If the response beyond the quote attracts my attention, as was the case here with rjk, I won't miss that important post. If the response is equally worthless, I'll pass on the quote too.

Thanks, rjk.

randy... i was surprised to see him so ignored... i enjoy his sense of humour.

matthew... visting the forum and ignoring him would be like visiting a porn site and ignoring the porn.

bulanula... no comment

It could be the vodka, but,

If Randy, Mathew and Bulanula all ignored each other, then they wouldn't have anything to read and life would be dull.

(I do really hate Edward50's posts, but I avoid them so haven't ignored him)

Thanks!
