New Forum Feature: YOU can choose to Ignore another users posts

  • We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades. If you paid for premium membership and are still seeing ads please let me know and the email you used against PayPal and I cam manually verify and upgrade your account.

In an attempt to stem the cat fights and some of the discontent between the members and also as some people seem to take offense at others. I have reluctantly and as a test added an "Ignore" feature to the forums.

This adds a little link under the user profile part of each persons post which simply says "Ignore" clicking on this will hide whatever has been posted by that member from your view until you click the "unignore" link.

You are unable to ignore Admins and mods.

I will try to clean this up a bit and this will be a trial only for now to see if it stifles or improves conversations.

Your feedback and ideas are always important as usual so I welcome hearing them.

Dan

can you tell who is on ignore ?

You can check your own ignore list

Or if you ignore someone it shows their post as "You are ignoring this user"

There is also a feature to see who is ignoring you though I have not turned that on.

Also just added a mood mod, but needs better images

Re: New Forum Feature: Ignore another user

I won't be ignoring anyone! disagreements are part of a forum! they are a place to debate ideas and views aren't they? nothing constructive would ever happen if everyone just agreed all the time!

and won't it make entire threads make no sense if there are missing posts?

Only if the post made sense in the first place, which is the reason for the Ignore button.

I dare say it is primarily there to be used on the trolls like Mr Seagles.
 
Re: New Forum Feature: Ignore another user

How come there's no option to ignore our own posts?
 
Re: New Forum Feature: Ignore another user

Vidmar's going to be wondering why absolutely no one responds to his prolix in the next couple of weeks. 
 
Re: New Forum Feature: Ignore another user

Probably worth a shot Dan. I know some sites use infractions so that if people cross the line too often they get the flick (infractions from the mods/admin etc.) That might be going too far but if you needed people to pull their heads in it could be worth it.

Can we ignore Ryan's CEO essays ? ;)

Nah, I know they can be a tad over the top and too frequent. I just have a bee in my bonnet is all mate. A slice of positivity would do wonders
 
Re: New Forum Feature: Ignore another user

why won't anyone answer my posts anymore?
Is there anybody out there.

Re: New Forum Feature: Ignore another user

In the old days when we wanted to ignore someone, we just ignored them.
