Squelch Feature in the Forums and Perma squelch

[Redlegs]

isnt slip violating rules 5, 10, and 15?

Aren't you violating rule 6?

Oh crap, I'm violating rule 6. 

[Ghosth]

Saantana, I'm not asking to deprive YOU of that.

However I really don't care to read his drivel any more.
So I am asking for a way to deprive ME of that.

Wouldn't effect you at all.

[Cthulhu]

Seconded.  If I'm in a mood to read drivel (nothing wrong with that, sometimes, that's what your in the mood for), I go to the O'Club.  I'm starting to feel as though this is the Mini-O, and it's sad.  If I want to be entertained, there's other venues that are much more appropriate.

<S>

Well, from that perspective I see your point. His insanity really does belong in the O' Club.

[Denholm]

I once again vote, "Yes!"

[Oleg]

Im not against forum squelch, but nobody force you to read his threads and posts, you know?

afaik, even if you put somebody in ignore list you will see his threads with subject (but no message body) and his quoted posts by other members.

[Denholm]

Oleg, the previous ignore feature we had completely removed any posts or topics generated by the ignored user.

OK, I just read his latest "Airborne Reload/Repair Pad" post.   Having some serious second thoughts now.

You're right. If this thread goes down the tubes, I'm gonna bump it once a week or until he's banned. Like I said before, it was funny at first, but now, it's stupid.

(dont get me wrong, not as stupid as Stephen Waldren who thought that Germans attacked Pearl Harbor with Helicopters...)

I don't see many posts in here that have much more merit than Slipknot's. 

That said, if HTC would implement a perma-squelch feature both in-game and on these forums, Skuzzy would probably get better rates on his health and life insurance.

LOL i remember that

[angelsandair]

As little as Skuzzy looks at the wishlist forum (look at all the threads that need to be locked in the last 10 pages, theres only like 1...) hopefully, he stumbles on this and puts it in.

[BaldEagl]

As I said another day, all Slipnot is doing is spaming the wishlist forum.  He responds to every response to his nonsensical posts to keep them at the top of the forum (or at least on the front page) and sometimes starts several in one day.  There was a day a week or so ago that 25% of the first page threads were his which just drops legitimate ideas off the front page.

If he toned it down to a thread a week I might find him amusing too.  As it is he's just annoying.

Welp, ignore is a feature thats easily implemented. And , from the administrators side being an admin in a number of places, it saves a ton on reported posts, whiny PM's, flamewars ect ect ect . Personally I cannot even see setting up a forum without it. It offers an option for folks to use to be able to read through thread and not read posts from posters they find repeatedly offensive, baiting, or downright stupid. It makes for a much more enjoyable forum experience. There are those in every forum (this one included) that "ride the edge" of having the admin smack put upon them like its some sort of joke. And they laugh about getting away with it. Usually in that they dont have much to offer to any conversation. Those are the ones that could use to be ignored.

Here again, its not thrust upon anyone. Its up to the user as an option to use it or not. If you don't like it, don't use it.

[DaveJ]

Again, Why do you find it annoying? Nothing on here is utterly brilliant to the point where it can't be shoved aside for a minute to read slipknot's posts for a bit of a laugh.

[blkmgc]

I've got nothing against Slipknot Dave. Maybe I came off that way i my first post, but didn't mean to.Some of his posts are funny.

Just pointing out the positives of having the option is all.
