BBS requirements

[The Fugitive]

You already have the choice to not read somebody that spams the board. You don't even have to see their posts. 

.....ya but having a full page of "You are ignoring this user. Show me the post." looks boring

... you can set it to ignore certain forum users?

yup, goto "profile" at the top of this page, and click on "personal messages" and in the big box type in each name you wish to ignore, one per line and click save.

Save this image URL. I'm not sure why they changed it with the board switchover.

I did see the Personal Message Options before but assumed it only applied to PMs. because it only mentions PMs ...

It was "slotted" in there since this BBS software had to be "hacked" to allow post ignoring and it already included a buddy system (that, by extension, could be used as an anti-buddy system) under that settings page. It came about after a bunch of us (including me) started whining to get it back after the last BBS software change.

i +1 this.

people without subscriptions shouldn't even be aloud to comment on game-related wishes and changes IMO. its like a guy who's jobless trying to tell you how to run your buisness. 

And for people who did have a subscription in the past, make it where if you had a paying subscription for atleast a Year, your aloud full privileges even if you cancel your account. a way to say "thank you".

you both should be grounded

I'm curious what problem this proposal seeks to fix.

People who have lived in my house before and moved away for peaceful reasons are still welcome to comment on my furnishings.

 I was hoping to see an end to the endless drival of certain posters.I could care less if people post in most forums because as someone said I have a choice to read them or not but as a trainer I must read the help and training forum to keep tab on things.

  When I see people trolling the help forum it just burns me for whatever reason and that's the reason for my request.Admittedly I posted it out of frustration and it wasn't the most well thought out request but it is what it is.

 I guess if I'm letting a game get the better of me it's time to rethink why I'm even here!

I disagree with your last line of your post I quoted, Moriend,

I TOO get PO'ed at how certian individuals do not use the rules for posting on these forums, that is listed /sticky'ed at the top of every forum

I also do a lot of "Report to moderator"  clicks and post my reasoning for the reporting that particular user


I have requested several times that once a person registers  to play online that that player also had to register to the Ah messageboards and have their gameid sync'ed up to their messageboard username, even if the 2 are not the same..........

it makes the new player aware of the messageboards, instead of them finally stumbling across them 2 or 3 years later, for one thing!

and another would be that it helps others who might know who a player is online but don't know it is the same person on the messageboards  or vice versa

there are a few other things this could help but my mind is drawing a blank right this moment........... I have requested this several times though....

edit: and I also like the reputation  + -  suggestion......  to use on replies like #18 of this thread......

you didn't have anything positive to add so you post a rollseyes  emoticon,  how mature of you

I like it I think it would cut down on a ton of BS, but folks gripe about anything nowadays......
