Squelch Feature in the Forums and Perma squelch

[DaveJ]

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.

Not addressing you in particular blkmgc, just looking for a general answer from everyone who thinks he's annoying.

It isn't funny anymore Davey, it's getting to the point of being stupid. Why are you against the permasquelch feature? If he's squelched, I can not see his posts, be unannoyed and happy, and you can be entertained by his wishes. I'm not asking for a PNG, but I do wish he'd bring it to the O'club.

Why would he make wishes in the O'Club? That's plain silly.

Stupid/funny stuff thrives in the O'Club, it's his natural Habitat.

But WHY would you need a permasquelch feature when you can simply IGNORE his posts when you see them in the wishlist thread? Thats the best permasquelch feature right there, no begging Skuzzy for it.

because I'm tired of seeing worthful wishes in the forums get pushed to the bottom. He replies to every post just to make sure it's on the top or close. A while ago, there were about 4 or 5 in about 1 or 2 days.

Exageration........  He does not reply to every post, or even close, and if you really didn't want his topics up at the top of the page, not posting in them would be a great start

Considering how much rubbish has been posted in here since long before Slipknot showed up, I always figured if there was something I really thought was a good idea, my best bet would be to show up to a Con and pitch the idea to HiTech in person.

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

Thanks for correction, thought its same in most forums.

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.

Did I said already I have nothing against ignore list? Personally, I never need it but once (he was really stupid, annoing and blatant guy; not in this forum), but if others want it I dont mind. I just said you dont need to read all that stupid stuff. Anyway, there are virtually nothing worth reading in Wishlist nowadays.
