Author Topic: "Ignore" option and "Nice troll..." posts. (Read 654 times)

It seems that the ignore list is working on this board, so I am going to issue a fair warning. You may not care much about me reading your posts but you must care somewhat - otherwise why would you be posting here at all.

I would never consider ignoring someone for the content of the messages hovever offencive to me personally but I will ignore people who screw up other people's threads. There are two types of "violations" of which the second one pisses me off more then the first even though the first is more common.

1. Blatantly hijacking someone's post. Some deviations are understandable but once the deviation starts taking more space then the original point, it becomes interference with our free speech on this board (as set by almighty HTC, not the US government).
Spamming someone's thread with unrelated stuff is almost as bad as deleting it. It interferes with our right to open a clearly marked thread and post/read in it.

2. Accusing someone of "Trolling...".
What "nice troll ..............." translates to me is:
"Guys, this is not a real post, do not read/reply to it".
If you care about any points made in the post and want to argue them - great! That is why the post is made.
If you post offencive and spamming "nice troll ..............." messages that make the poster waste valuable screen space on stating that his thread is not a troll, etc. - that interferes with out reading the thread same as hijacking.

The common point is that anyone can argue any point but no one should interfere with me reading the thread I chose to read.

Of course if some guy I respect who posts great insightfull topics I enjoy will violate those rules, I will have hard time ignoring him/her - but somehow the people who's opinion I care to read on this board never engage in the second offence and rarely in the first one.

Now, guys - if you want to see a clean enjoyable board (speaking of structure and usability, not the content) - I need a show of hands here.
No names for now please - just show that you are serious. I certainly am.

Raiders will lose to New England again, but this time 56 to 3.

Of course. And with the working ignore feature nobody has to be inconvenienced by that.

I am just advising people who matter to me that instead of bothering to argue that they are not trolling every time you happen to jerk off in their thread, they can just do "ignore wotan" and be done about it.

well do that....... what is or did stop you?

my two words "nice troll" were enough for you to type 2000 of bs

Now how exactly did those two words upset your ability to read that thread then to insult me?

and those two words I typed are correct it was a troll whether you agree or not doesn't make my point any less valid.

How is "nice troll" uncivil?

Maybe you oughta edit your own post people may think you anal........

Rather than think of something witty ... just add me to your ignore list:D

Just to save time is it possible to "Ignore" whole squad ?

david gilmore is a rusty hack who learned to play guitar from sid barret. plus roger waters could kick his wannabe pink floydin' bellybutton any day of the week. roger waters IS pink floyd, david gilmore is clinging to his glory. so there.

oh yeah i dont know what this ignore thing is about but i dont think i care

batdog · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2002, 06:52:38 PM »

LOL Rip...aye, I cried almost at that one

. I heard Howie Long had to be restrained from throwing Jay Shroader off the plane. My only question is WTF was Art Shell doing keeping his bellybutton in the game. It was a SAD day. Also I rem that the Raiders had one of the best defenses in the game but that Buffalo Offense was new at the time and ate them for dinner. Of course The 6 or so turn overs didnt help ethier.
