I would like an ignore feature because I feel some posts around here are a complete waste of space. I would rather just not see them at all. I'm not offended by anyone. But hey, thanks for making some stupid baseless generalizations. That's always good.

There are a couple people who post nothing worth reading. Not to mention people who just can't get along. Thus, ignore feature.

Yes, it's nice you can basically get along with everyone, but some people search each other out and are total dicks to those specific people. For them, being able to ignore that person might be nice.


#15

Dave

Dave

If they ever get it working there's a mod that would allow us to ban people from specific threads. So say that there's a thread about beef and someone comes in tossing about insults. We ask them to stop but they won't. Instead of locking the thread we just ban that user from posting in that thread.

I can't wait until they get that fixed.

I want to be able to ignore the people that I feel do not /ever/ have anything to add to threads so why waste time seeing they wrote something? I'm not sure what threads I would ignore though. I just don't click on the ones I am not interested in.

The problem is that there are threads which I am interested in, but I should not participate in.

I got addicted to the new posts and "mark all posts read" buttons awhile ago, and they are essentially the only way I interact with the forum anymore. It just takes too long to go through each subforum I'm interested in.
Added at: 16:12
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the ignore post feature request could be changed slightly, and probably made easier to implement. It only needs to remove the post from the New Posts page - if I go to general, I should see everything that's in general. But there should be a "Don't show this thread in the new threads even if it has new posts" button per thread.

A sort of super unsubscribe.


#34

Dave

Dave

There is something I could do, but it's an all or nothing thing.

I could create a sub called "Forum Games" in which we have these things. I can set it up so that they do not show in the "What's New". Problem is, it wouldn't show for anyone, which is why I've not done it. So to appease one group who hates them, I'd be disaffecting another group who likes them. Plus, I think a sub called "Forum Games" would be popular initially and then die out like the NSFW area did.

I don't know you can make inane posts in a thread at work but you can't look at titties.
That might be a factor here.

UPDATE!!!

XenForo.com went to 1.1 today which means it'll be released soon. Once it does, I will be doing a minor reorg, with a new sub called "Endless Threads". I will be putting stuff in there and excluding it from the What's New. (This is a new ACP thing for 1.1.) I'm also making NSFW so it doesn't hit the What's New.

For those of you who want to ignore users you will be able to do that. For those who want to know when threads in the "Endless Threads" area updates, you'll have to Follow the sub. This should be a good middle ground that can keep everyone happy.

What the duece!!!???

But in all seriousness, I have always NOT been a fan of ignore features on forums. A lot of times, the ignore function ends up being used against someone who has a dissenting opion from the ignorer (not just attacking) and from there, they ignore half conversations, that to other readers, now make no sense.

Also, how would someone know they are being ignored? Say you do make a counter argument to a thread, and you have no idea you are being ignored...so other statements are made to a different post in the same thread, and here you are, left out in the wind, with no clue whats going on.

And of course there is the whole "You have ignored this post" message (dont know if it applies here) but if it does, any time I have been in a forum that has ignore, itdoes...and then you get the ignore-er smugly posting a quote or some such to your thread, blatently trolling with things like "Ahhh, glad I cant see this post!"

Meh, I guess I just do not liek the feature over all, it adds too many problems for something that can be fixed in other ways. So yeah...Nut up, you little pussyfarts.

Again, but if you do try to make a point, and a thread goes off becasue you were ignored, and as such, lost to why people are perhaps suddenly rehashing soemthing you have already said, or saying something counter to you, but unknown why, etc.

That's how you should ignore people as well.


#92



makare

That's only if you want to ignore everyone. Most of us just have a few people they could do without. Don't throw out the whole bushel just because of a few wormy apples.


#93

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

You just don't get it. Those of us asking to ignore pointless threads would never need to ignore people singularly. Most of us aren't worried about conflicting opinions. It keeps things interesting and vibrant.

We're actually throwing out the wormy apples (pointless threads) so we can actually see the threads worth reading/posting in. The actual "bushel" as you so put it.


#94

Krisken

Krisken

Pretty much what makare said. There's only 2 or 3 people who, while a permanent fixture of the forum, don't contribute anything I have interest in reading. Since they tend to comment in threads I like just avoiding their threads really doesn't help. I'd rather not add to the drama through confrontations that never amount to anything constructive, so I'd like the ignore function to prevent those pointless diversions.

I'm certainly not walking away from the whole forum, which has many fine individuals I've come to respect, simply because of a couple people I'm not fond of.

Edit: Shego, I understand why you want to ignore a couple threads. These are two different issues, and I'm not sure why you insist on saying "You don't get it". You're a smart gal and I have no doubt you understand that.


#95

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

Yet that wasn't makare's point. She said if you wanted to ignore pointless threads, walk away from the computer, but ignoring singular people permanently is ok? How does that solve anything?

Also, you talk about not being able to ignore people's posts that you don't like? What's stopping you from just skipping it over? You feel the need to ignore them completely and forever on? Yet you say the "nuclear" options are overkill? Sounds pretty hypocritical.


#96



makare

I like talking about things mutually enjoyed. I prefer not to have constant conflict in my conversations. It doesn't make it interesting or vibrant it makes it a giant pain in the ass. Some discussion about things is fine but the people I want to ignore, they don't discuss they argue and just start shit because they can. I don't need or want that. I have threads I'd ignore too. I don't see it as an either or thing. I was just teasing DA and he knows it.


#97

Go ahead and ignore threads when it is available. That's great. Still would like to ignore the people who write useless tripe.

#99

Shegokigo

I just wonder how you honestly thing that ignoring a person will somehow prevent discussions you want to keep "pure". They're still going to converse with the other people participating and that will just leave you with half a discussion anyway. Just ignoring the "half you don't want to hear" isn't going to stop all the "horrible discussions".


#100

but it will keep me from having to read a bunch of crap.

Side A: An ignore function for people is stupid. Just skip over the posts you don't like. What I really hate is dumb threads, and I should be able to block them.

Side B: No! An ignore function for threads is stupid. Just skip over the threads you don't like. What I really hate is dumb people, and I should be able to block them.

Me: :confused:


#113

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

Difference between ignoring someone and ignoring a thread is that ignoring someone is as simple as just not reading it. Ignoring a spam thread requires clicking the actual thread every time you reload "New Threads" button, so that it won't flood in and push down real threads. Everytime it gets a new spam post, you have to click it again, close it again then hit New Threads again. When there are 5-9 spam threads going at once? You can see the problem.


#114



makare

I don't think anyone has not liked the ignore threads function. We have disagreed on why and which threads but over all I think that is generally supported. It is the ignore people thing that some have a problem with.

It's harder to ignore images. Most of the people on my ignore list are massive image posters.


#115

Tress

Tress

My answer to you both: you could skip over whatever you don't like. And it would take roughly the same amount of effort for both. But that's not the point. The point is that either option would be a nice feature for people to use. They are equally valid and equally convenient.


#116

Put yourself in my place for a moment. After one of the most horrific weeks one can imagine, would you really want threads like "how would you kill someone?" popping up every time you check new threads or just go to the first page of General? There's no "skipping over", because there's no way to make that thread disappear without just not bothering with HF completely.


#120



Biannoshufu

And there's the rub. Even the most seemingly harmless threads can have something that triggers offense for someone, and deciding which ones where is a sliding scale. Not to mention that a seemingly innocent thread can got batshitties-ville quick if people veer it off course. Yes, an ignore person function won't purify threads, but it will at least decrease noise to signal ratio.

nah, thats a bit extreme. I see it like a forum's pair of noise cancelling headphones. filter out the consistently useless "blah blah" and listen to the many other interesting people. its a time saver. That doesnt mean i expect everyone to act a certain way, just that I'll filter out the inane.


#220

Jay

The ignore function will serve its use. Which will be mostly for those who have been the most vocal in its support because they have been too thin skinned, easy to rile up after being repeated called out for being inane themselves for good reason. If you have a long history of conflict with other posters, here's a clue, the problem isn't coming from them, it's you. Hiding behind an ignore function will not serve you well in ways you'll never fully understand.

After seeing the progress on these forums the last day or so, I'm starting to believe that this addition is probably going to be the most severe mistake that the forum administration has made since the anonymous passive-aggressive debacle that I fought hard against. Instead of providing a way for members to not talk to each other, this small forum community should be all about coming together and getting along and like any good family have it's own share of riffs and raffs between family members. Giving everyone a protective blanket from one another is pointless.

I know I've been the butt on the joke of who should be ignored, coming from the staff or ex-staff themselves (with picture included). Why you'd do that is once again a poor choice in one's judgement. Staff shouldn't be promoting this type of behavior or allowing poster to exclaim openly who they have ignored or who they want to ignore if they wish to have their forums be as positive as it can be.

Kindly note that whether you have decided to ignore me or not does not affect me in any shape or fashion and I'll still reply to inane posts even from those who have decided to ignored me and even if they'll be screaming that they did from the rooftops. It doesn't matter to me. What you just did is give me easy victory when I'll put you in your place when you need to be put in your place and a "default" victory is just as good as a hard fought one. :)

Oh and if you couldn't read my post then clicked on "show ignored posters", you can suck it! you salty bitch!


#221



makare

Ok so you want the forum to be positive but you think it is a victory to be a giant annoying ass?

That speaks volumes for why we need the ignore function.


#222

TommiR

TommiR

A people-centric approach, I guess. My personal POV on these things is issue-based, and I think everyone is good at some field or other. To ignore them would cause one to miss out on the gems one can occasionally find in their comments, assuming one can disregard all the crap in the mean time.

Of course, for some those gems are so few and far between that it's simply not worth the bother.

Different approaches for different people.

#224



makare

It really wouldnt make a difference because Big Brother wanted to control everyone and the Stepford men just wanted subservient fembots. Neither of the subjects of the control were assholes. And also they weren't being ignored they were being actively controlled and changed. It's not the same at all. The people being ignored in this case are more like the Proles as far as the way they are treated i mean. not in regards to usefulness.....


#225

Krisken

Krisken

Think of it this way. This is a huge hall. There are groups of people all over the place. People on the other side of the room you really can't stand, and instead of making a scene (and general jack-ass of yourself) you avoid them. You shouldn't have to leave the hall just because a few people on the other side of the room give you a migraine. Just don't go over there.

The ignore function gives us the opportunity to do that. It lets us choose our community.

Only thing I can see making people not like the ignore function is if they like the drama. I for one find the ability for makare and Mathias to ignore each other to be a god-send.


#226

And here I was thinking a hall as in a party hall. A party where someone was a little lax with the guest list and now some drunk monkey just crapped in the punch bowl.


#231

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

At an adult party, whether you like someone or not, whether they're jerks or not, you still put your best face forward and continue about your business and talking to everyone. Because you're adult enough for it not to bother you.

I'm not saying you're childish, I'm just explaining what happens in the example you put forward.


#232



makare

There is a difference between having to be courteous to the jackasses as you hurriedly walk away and having to actually talk to them. Unless it is like a work party and you MUST talk to the people you can't stand because you work with them.


#233

You don't have to acknowledge them though. All the parties I've been to if there are people that others dont like they avoid talking to them.

It's one thing not to get along with someone & ignoring them altogether after knowing full well you'll never get along with them and another thing being unable ignore their posts and reciprocating and then not be able to eat what you dished out in return and making a big deal you can't ignore them and having big brother come in on a constant basis to defend you.

Makare is a prime example of this.

This is my point of view, using your... analogy Krispie. Did I mention I like analogies?

So, there is this huge hall and people are all over the place talking about various subjects. Makare sees a group of people across the room that she don't get along with and knows full well she gets them on their nerves but approaches casually while their having their private conversation in this huge hall.

Poster A : "I say! That's a jolly good point Poster B. I didn't think of it that way."

*Poster A gives Poster B a pat on the back* (+1 to like)

Poster C : "I kind of agree but I kinda feel different about this point *mumble mumble*

*Poster B listens intently*

Poster B : "Mmm, I can see your point, still I feel that-"

*suddenly a wild Makare appears in the middle of the group*

Makare : "Captain Picard is ruthless. LOLz +1"

*Poster A&B&C are annoyed.*

Poster B goes:

obama-adultz-are-talkin.jpg


*Poster B fails at diplomacy check to get the subject back on course and no mods in sight early in the situation*

Makare : "You're such an asshole and I won't listen to what you're saying regardless to how much time and effort you put in and continue prodding you with this dildo."

Now Poster A&B&C are miffed.

Poster C goes:

tumblr_lobd0dIHdX1qgzpkao1_500.jpg


*Poster C fails at his intimidate check at trying to put Makare in her place and Suddenly Big Brother comes in*

Big Brother : "You people should treat her with respect. You are wrong."

Poster B: "But she-"

Big Brother : "Nope wrong."

Poster C: "You know I-"

Big Brother : "Nope don't care about what you say, I never liked you, you're not entitled to your opinion. Why do you even exist? You should know this already as I always come in these type of threads to defend my friend even though she started it."

*Suddenly clumsy Mod Bud comes in.*

Mod Bud : "Alright people, that's enough. I have no clue what I'm doing, so let me keep this simple. Poster C, this is your fault because you're usually an asshole and I don't like you anyways."

Makare : "There should be a way to ignore Posters like Poster C... even B... cause I don't like him today."

Mod Bud : "There is. Take this!"

*Mod Bud hands Makare a Kitten* /zelda

Mod Bud : "With this you will be able to ignore Posters like Poster C even though he didn't do anything wrong and I won't bother to do what I was supposed to do."

Makare : "Awesome. I really don't like Posters like Poster C and even though I made no effort to avoid conflicts previously now I can use this kitten to ignore more people that I suddenly don't like but I picked fights with initially."

At this point Poster C is trying to talk but a giant zipper is on his mouth.

Makare : "Can't hear you, I'm ignoring you!"

Makare climbs awkwardly on the rooftops of every building near the Big Hall.

Makare : "I'm ignoring Poster C! Look at this poster, it's proof I am! Poster C is a bad poster and an asshole to boot! No one is reading this. Look! Look!"

Three days pass by.... Poster C is chatting with Poster A and B again.

Makare : "LOLz, I only see Poster A talking to himself! HERP DERP! +1"

Poster A goes :

bitch_please.jpg


Big Brother appears....

Big Brother : "You are wrong. Treat my friend with respect."

And the cycle continues.

It is very amusing that if I am annoying people it is my bad but if Jay is annoying people it is their own fault.

The real issue here is that some people hold themselves to a different standard than others. The other day when I was accused of arguing for argument's sake is a perfect example of that. Now I was just commenting in a thread. I don't like arguing just to argue. But who does? well shego has admitted that she has often taken a position she does not agree with why? just to argue for arguments sake because she likes it. That is a perfect example of the different standards.


#241

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

Well yeah, because if everyone just agreed 100% of the time, where would the interest lie?

Also, whenever I do it, it's never in a subject that would hurt/bother/insult another member. Most of the people on here have earned my respect in that manner.

I do know of people who purposely take opposing sides, just to get a conversation rolling, even if alot of hate is suddenly focused their way (Can you believe I'm not just talking about Charlie?) but it doesn't necessarily make them "assholes that deserve ignoring", it's 9x out of 10 just to make a conversation take a new direction/edge. It's interesting, it's engaging and it makes reading this forum all the better.


#242



makare

We were talking about Disney movies.... why was that not an ok discussion to have?

The people I mostly want to ignore are the ones who think cruelty is funny, degrading and hurting people is ok and that not wanting to be hurt makes them pansies.

And for the last time and always it has nothing to do with whether I agree with them or not. I am not ignoring people because of them having differing opinions or I would be ignoring a good 80-85% of the forum instead there are about 4 people.

1) Some humans prefer to adapt their tastes to suit their environment.

2) Other humans prefer to adapt their environment to suit their tastes.

3) Still others prefer a moderate approach - adapting where they like, and changing their environment where they like.

When the answer is "Groups 2 and 3 should not be given tools to change their environment" the question is always wrong.

I suppose those that say we should not allow people to change their environment and the things they are exposed to would also like to do away with the themes, and enjoy it when someone else sets their thermostat and dresses them in the morning, regardless of their personal tastes.

That it won't do. But if you like I can tell you who is ignoring you.

Crap. Okay. Let me look into it. It might be a toggle that I didn't toggle on update. Or it could be because we are still on Beta 1 and I need to upgrade to Beta 3.

Why do people need a message they are being ignored? That seems a bit drama inducing.

it would help in some discussions to know you are being ignored. it would make replies you see make more sense if you know they could not see your comment or rebuttal.

That, plus the hilarity factor alone is fantastic.

Oh and just fyi Makare, there's already a way to find out if you've been put on ignore by a user through some forum manipulation, so that's why I didn't need Dave to tell me. I just think it'd be hilarious to see at the moment someone puts you on ignore, like "Well that was the button that did it!" kind of thing.

Pretty much this.

Plus, put me in the "don't have sympathy for those who opted out on a total halforum experience".

makare

I guess since I just do not care who is ignoring me I don't see the point. Most threads it shouldnt matter and I unignore people in the threads where it matters like the say say something about the person above type threads because to do otherwise would be pretty dickish.


#276

Shannow

Shannow

And that is you, but in some, folks may not unignore, and those reading it who are ignnored may come across a post and see "wait..I jsut said that!!" or..."huh, i completely negated that reasoning 2 posts ago...", and other such things.


#277

I see your point but people do that anyway lol. So much tl:dr then post around here.

I just want to be able to ignore threads. It's far more useful.

The majority of users will post something you may not agree with, or even make you mad, but that doesn't mean 100% of their posts are all this anger-inducing. If it would be, they'd most likely be an actual troll and be removed from the forum. Even the most abrasive users here can post insightful stuff at times.

If I, recall correctly, I had, dozens blocked, some for the sheer, fun of it. I still have, around 10 or so blocked. Signal to noise ratio, much improved.

But back to point, the thread ignore would be great, I am against poster ignore, for reasons previously stated, but should it be implemented, it would be good to know who has you on ignore. Those are my thoughts on it.

The only person who ever put me on ignore was Mav, after he threw a fit over something. I took it as a badge of honor. I can see how some people would want to know who has them on ignore. The only problem is that other people would lose their shit and kick up as much sand as possible.

Before recently I had only ever put one person on ignore. It would have been silly to rub it in their face. Fun though.... but silly.


#295



makare

Ok so I have a couple people on ignore. Sometimes I can't see that they've posted, other times I see the post but it is blank. Sometimes I see new threads they've started, other times they disappear. It is really weird and disconcerting. What's up?

If you see that they posted, it means that they were the last person to post. The system bumps the thread, but since you don't want to see what the person posts, it shows that they're the reason the thread is on top, but not what they actually said.

Once somebody else responds, the system then hides the ignored person's post because it doesn't need to use it to justify why a thread on the top of the page.

A better mechanism would be to tailor the recent thread view for the user, rather than displaying the same recent list for everyone. This is the kind of thing Steve Jobs would yell at developers for.

My only problem with the ignore feature is if you are ignoring someone, their posts don't show up. Makes finding certain posts difficult, for sure.

Yeah I'd like to at least see that they posted because otherwise some of my posts seem random (more than usual). But I guess that is the price you pay for the pure awesomeness that is.. the ignore function.

Yeah, we clearly have some very brown-nosed bots posting. Either that, or they're trying to post links, and I think guest posters can't post links so it filters them out.

Yup. It looks like spammers finally figured out that they can post, but not enough to really be spammy yet. Only a matter of time, I think.

I really like having Guests be able to post, too.
