Is there a way to put a name on ignore mode? I’ve looked a bit on the forum but didnt find that info. Thanks.
Click on person’s user name, the on drop down banner, “view public profile”. Then you’ll see “user lists” under their name when viewing public profile. Clicking on that reveals options, one of which is to put them on ignore.
Awesome. Thanks for the quick answer.
Just out of curiosity, can you still read this?
Well! :mad:
Maybe they can read it now. 
I’ve been here since 1999, & I’ve never needed to “ignore” anybody.
I wonder if **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor ** will stop by this thread, he usually has something to say about the subject.
There. Let’s see how many ignore lists that gets me on.
Yeah good idea-I can hardly walk around in here without tripping over all the grossly obese bridgedwellers we have-they certainly are well-fed and happy here, so we could always use more. Ya know, maybe the next time some little attention-seeking pissant posts something ridiculous here, instead of shoveling the all-you-can-eat buffet in their general direction with a backhoe (thus generating 1000+ post threads in the process), we can simply not respond to them. Wow what a concept.
As far as I am concerned, once a poster clearly indicates that he/she isn’t the least bit interested in a fair and honest exchange of ideas, but is here merely to tweak moustaches and/or pump up his/her post count, onto my list they go. By being an inveterate jerk and general waste of space, they’ve forfeited their right to have me read their drivel, even on those rare occasions that they have something useful to say.
First time I’ve seen a thread zombified in the very first post.
Who?
There’s two problems with that: the first is that there are very few trolls that are on all the time. The second is that there’s no reason you can’t DNFTT while still being able to read what they say.
I got to the point where I admit I don’t ignore people for being trolls–I ignore them because they make me angry, and I don’t like being angry. And even then my ignore list has less people than I can count on one hand.
What difference does it make whether often or not?
This for me is the bottom line. You can’t learn from everyone. Not unless you’re roy rogers. Some people aren’t worth the maybe-get-a-blister-on-your-scrolly-finger, maybe-get-a-blister-on-your-thumb.
If you’re here at the SD, you’re already angry or likely soon to be angry.
But why be more angry when you can be less angry?
If they aren’t trolling all the time, then, when they are making an actual contribution, you miss it. And, if you miss it, the entire thread becomes useless.
There have been at least two people I’ve put on ignore that, when I did so, at least half the threads on the Dope became unreadable, unless I clicked that little button or read someone’s quoting of them. It became more work for me, which defeated the purpose of the convenience of the ignore feature.
There are dozens of people I’m curious of what they have to say. But not that curious. Some things in life are meant to be taken for granted. Once someone is a mod, they’ll never turn back.
Put them on ignore and life becomes a little better.
Who’s got the time to read pesky notes and warnings? And no one but Marley or Colibri are truly funny.
Lol, I was just asking a technical question and it has turned into a debate.
It would be really cool though to not see at all if Ignored person has even posted, the way it’s done you can still see that, in some ways, it defeats the purpose of putting someone on Ignore.
You need Firefox 3 and an extension called FFvB. You can make the post, and all quotes of it completely disappear.
I actually use that now that I’ve got my list winnowed down to the people I truly do not expect to have useful contributions.
Also, I assume cashew is using it, because the regular ignore feature will not work on mods. And, even if there were mods that deserved to be on your ignore list, you put them on at your own risk–you may miss mod instructions, and violating those is a sure way to get in trouble.
:rolleyes:
Dude, if you are going to :rolleyes: me, at least have the decency to cut my quote so I can tell which part you object to. As far as I can tell, everything I said is accurate, some of which by experience.
