Topic: My list of ignored members (Read 2914 times)

   I think it should be noted that even when a flaw is pointed out in your list, your still not willing to verify and correct it. Not a great way to maintain a public ignore list.

A colorful signature showing support for something does not automatically qualify as a paid signature campaign. If it does, your missing a LOT of people from your list.
 
Regardless, you certainly will not make it on my ignore list but I still think your an ass for not verifying.  

We are mature people, we dont just ignore people we dont like, we arent children

I have no doubt that my list is not perfect. Oh well. Your signature looks like a something from signature campaign. If it's not then it is my mistake for not being able to tell the difference. If you think I am an ass you can put me on your ignore list.

I was never paid yet I am on your lame ass ignore list. So, your list is flawed... and you, as well as DannyHamilton, are asses for not verifying.  

Some of these threads are extremely long; consequently, it is much easier skipping most of the responses in these longer threads and just jump straight to the end of them to post a response.  Right?  I think creating an extremely long ignore list just makes navigating the forum that much more efficient because it justifies not reading the thread before responding, which is a real hassle sometimes.  I mean, am I alone in believing that my response is the only response that matters in the thread anyway?  

This form of efficiency makes me wonder, however, can a poster be considered a quality poster if they've only read a fraction of the thread?  And, what can we assume about those who openly confess that they don't read the threads before they post their responses?

To each their own; however, one get's out of life what they put into it.  

EDIT:  There just seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the idea of providing a peer response to something that has not been reviewed.  What would the state of our scientific community be if all of our peer reviewed papers weren't actually reviewed?  That is, if the scientific community stopped their review after reading the abstract and then jumped straight to the conclusion before submitting their opinion?  

First of all, nobody's going to read this because i'm ignored and there's nothing I can do about it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a signature campaign. A forum is a place to express your ideas freely, and it just so happens that somebody in the past decided that hiring people to spread their ideas for them. All that led to this moment in time where many believe that carrying a signature campaign means untrustworthy, spammy, and deserving of being ignored, of which all of those are stereotypes. There are plenty of those, so I won't have to list any of them. I'm Chinese, so I assure you I get those all the time about "do you eat rice every day?" (which is actually true, but wow I listed one already, so..).

Not everybody posts to gain money; in fact the average "good" user here probably found signature campaigns a week or a month after they've been here (I found signature campaigns 6 or so months after I joined!) and  thought, hey, I could be paid for my ideas! So they join. They talk about the newest generation miner, new chips, and difficulty speculation and helping new people. That's before a few stumble upon this thread and realize, "hey, why is this guy ignoring me?" In that case the signature campaign carrier did absolutely nothing wrong. The sad and disappointing thing is that most people see spammers with signature campaigns and I do too! EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. In that case, the campaigner has done very wrong and deserves to be ignored. Not everybody deserves to be on this list, but cherrypicking people out would be a very arduous task, so I guess this guy wrote something that found every single person with a campaign and compiled their names. There are many people that don't belong on that list, but since everybody with a campaign is now ignored, nobody will listen to me either. This list hasn't been updated in a very long time since the OP doesn't believe in probation apparently, so there is no room to change and there are plenty of people out there who have used his list. In case any of you are using this, although you may not be able to hear me, it must be a pretty desolate world out there with you in the middle of it all. There's even spammers without signature campaigns as well! What're you going to do about them? So I guess, take this with a grain of salt since nobody really cares anyway. That's just my two cents though, it's up to you if you ignore me or not, but to sum this up, ignoring people with signature campaigns is like segregation, there might be good people out there, but just like in the past not every race was treated equally.

Well yeah, it eliminates tons of people and I've seen some of the peeps on that list make some decent posts.  And even you, you're a total fuckface (see my trust feedback) but still I wouldn't put you on ignore.  And that's because what you write isn't spam.  The worst offenders, and I have plenty on ignore, are sig spammers who can't write a correct sentence in English to save their pathetic lives.  I don't think this "autistic" list discriminates at all (except the sig-wearing).

Well it his view .If he thinks that he wants to see posts of only some users let it be.Let him get some peace and some air.If we think that we are good on posts better ignore thisbthread and move on.Getting into his ignore lists doesn't means that others will be feeling the same.

@OP i would say to keep maintaing that list and keep a proper check on posts of your ignored lists users and remove them accordingly if you find some improvement in accuracy and its constructiveness.

OP's approach is autistic, pretty much an attention whore, he just puts people on his ignore list without making any checks, No surprise that i am on that list although I have left my campaign for some time, OP, do the forum a favour and take down this redundant list and stop begging people to use it.

I swear, people who make threads like these are just attention whores

---

I was gonna do a check so i scrolled to the middle of your list and picked two names, those users dont have signatures, as said, this thread/ your list is a waste of time, it would be a shame if anyone takes it seriously, take it down or revise your list

I'm in a campaign, but I post just to post.  I was here 9 months before I joined Yobit, and if you don't like the signatures there's a great feature that's already been mentioned in this thread which amazingly allows you to ignore sigs.  Then you don't have to look at the advertising and you can just read the post.  That's what I do.  And I selectively ignore people.  But as I said, OP's list is massive and some of the users on it I've noticed usually have good things to say.

So yeah, a little self-righteousness I'd say.  Sig campaigns are allowed on this forum, so deal with it. 

There are undoubtedly some people making quality posts that have joined a signature campaign. They are the exception. My approach is not perfect, but I believe it is the best I can do.

As for DannyHamilton making a quality post that was substantially the same as your quality post: overall, I don't think it is a problem. His post confirmed your answer, making it stronger and more authoritative. I imagine that the wasted space was small compared to the sea of non-answers that (I assume) surrounded it.

also his list not updated or is years old & just copy paste from others cause my last sig was months ago but still my name is in the list.But the point is if you start excluding spam then you would end up ignoring 99.99% of the worlds population.Not everyone should be constructive & it is senseless to expect the same from one and all.

It's jut time in the end cause the same bullshit sig poster will repeat the drama (OP is doing) after some years when he is experienced or has gained knowledge/skills.Redsnow,xiala and else used to reserve spots on campaigns (a.k.a sig whores)but now they think of themselves as angels and criticize the campaigns etc...

you know how people are or how they change  

Depends on the specific thread: in case the OP is missing some vital information because he's ignoring 80% of the forum, i could argue that the OP is indeed missing out... He'll never know he's missing out, but i still think he's missing something. That being said: i do know what you mean, but it's all a matter of perspective

Nicely explained



TBH it's no-one's loss.

Altough you'll never ever see my response (since i'm on your ignore list), i am going to write something on your thread...

I have no problem with your ignore list. It's a free forum, i'm living in a free country, and if you chose to ignore me, it's your loss not mine. However, i do think there is one fundamental problem with your logic: i think it creates an even bigger mess than it solves.

Let me elaborate: A while ago, somebody asked a very good question (don't remember which one, i'm to lazy to go trough my complete post history to find the exact thread). I took a long time to give him a good answer (at least, in my eyes it was a good answer). Within the next couple of posts, DannyHamilton gave the same reply, repeating almost everything i said (but in completely different wording).
I was supprised, since DannyHamilton is an upstanding member of the community. Why would he just repeat my answer in his own words, just a couple posts after mine? I looked trough his post history, and found out it wasn't the first time this had happened. Then it struck me: he simply ignored me because i was wearing a signature, so he didn't even read my answer, he just gave the same answer as me because he didn't read a single reply in the thread. He was advertising his ignore list right in his sig. In other words: he made a bigger mess of the threat than i would have been if he had just seen the fact that the question was already answered, eventough it was by somebody wearing a sig ad.

Face it: if you're ignoring 80-90% of the people on a forum, you're going to give answers that were already given, you're going to answer to threads that are basically cold, and people are going to attack you for ignoring them (nobody likes to be ignored). In fact, your posts might be littering the forum by repeating the same thing that was already said by a sig-wearer.

That being said: imagine that you love swimming. Every day you go the the swimming pool, and you swim for a full hour. One day, a guy comes over and says to you: you love swimming, you're going to swim anyways, but if you wear swimming trousers with my logo on it, i'm going to give you $5 for every hour you're advertising my company. Would you refuse to put the guys logo on your swimming trousers? I know i wouldn't... I'd take the $5 and continue swimming.
That's exactly what i'm doing on this forum: i love posting, and since bit-x is giving me a little bit of money for every post i make if they can use my (otherwise unused) sig space: why not??? I'm not going to remove my sig add just because somebody would un-ignore me if i did... It's their loss, not mine.

Sorry for the rant: as i said, you're free to ignore me, and i'm not attacking you because if it. I just wanted to share my view on this topic.

Yes you do by Displaying this thread and creating that OP.Not reading the spam is way too different than ignoring those users.

This thread shows the Grudge you hodl.Why not throw it away for sometime and hodl some bitcoins

I know you cant see this.

I don't generalize or paint members of signature campaigns as people with half a brain. That is your description, not mine. But, I have found that membership in a signature campaign is a very good indicator of the overall quality of a person's posts. I believe that is because a member has an incentive to post whether or not they have something useful to add.

I am not trying to solve the problem of signature campaign spam. I don't have that ability. But since you asked, my solution would be to restrict signatures for everyone to one line of tiny font, or to remove signatures altogether.

Generalizing or painting every one that carries a signature as people with half a brain in essence does not help build the forum into a stronger version of its self. It isolates you from teaching and giving back to the community. If the forum is full of spam it is because the posters I read from 2-3 years back have taken this tactic or left entirely.
The argument about telemarketers does not hold because these people are not private messaging you 4-5 times a day as well as posting.
A forum by definition:

a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

You mean to tell me that ignoring a large segment is going to actually change things for the better?

When I go back through the old archives I find really good articles and smart people. Now I see more spam and I think that the reason for that is more people are doing what OP is doing with blinders than trying to fix the problem.

Honestly have watched in a short time how some people here control quite a lot of accounts in different signature campaigns.
Really only would take 10 people posting on 8-10 accounts to muck the area up. So why not address that than hiding behind a list hoping that what you do not see will eventually go away.

Don't forget that those 95% are there only because they are paid to say things to you. They aren't there to listen to you, so why would you take the time to listen to them? Do you also read spam email or take the time to listen to telemarketers?

I realize that people who post for money might actually have something useful to say from time to time, but they have to realize that those useful posts are drowned out by the drivel. If they want people to take them seriously they could drop the signature campaign.

No, it's more like having a meeting and closing the door to keep peddlers out. Some people prefer to not be disturbed by a sales pitch, there are ad blockers, sig blockers, etc. Nothing wrong with that.
