williewillie Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I erred in bring up this issue of how to ignore other members on a thread about Blue House. Mea culpa. I've tried to put firecat69 on 'ignore' but I get a message back stating 'you cannot ignore that member'. I referrenced another member whom I successfully put on ignore but some felt that was a nasty thing to post. My purpose was to show I know how to do it. As the subject of repeated attacks, I want to put the offending poster on ignore but cannot. I understand not be able to ignore the forum owner and moderators but why should a non-owner be exempt from being ignored. It's several days since I asked for assistance but in the wrong place. This forum is appropriate. How can I put my persistant and obsessed stalker on IGNORE? Quote
forky123 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I have no issues putting Firecat or other users by clicking on my username and then choosing Manage Ignore Preferences. I can also choose which bits to ignore there. Quote
Alexx Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I understand not be able to ignore the forum owner and moderators but why should a non-owner be exempt from being ignored. How would you even know that any particular member is NOT an owner or moderator? Any account can have more privileges than regular users can see. Just because it doesn't say "Admin" or "Moderator" in the profile doesn't mean anything. Quote
williewillie Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks Scooby, problem solved and ignore successful. Quote
Guest ronnie4you Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 I don't have anyone on the ignore feature. I like to read what everyone says, and while some say stuff or carry on in a manner I don't care for, it would be hard for them to get on my ignore list. Overall, this is a great place to post and a kind community. Thanks to all who keep it that way, especially Scooby. Quote
Guest Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Several of the people on my ignore list have subsequently been banned. More are likely to go that way. In the meantime, using the ignore feature is more productive than wasting time with trolls. Quote
steveboy Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 I learned about the "ignore" function when firecat69, in an act of desperation when his one-upmanship on me failed, told me that he was putting me in ignore. Since then, I have wondered about this function... As an adult with reason and free will, I can put on "ignore" anyone on a forum I have reasons to ignore. No software function needed. By disregarding (ignoring) many nasty snide posts who eventually come my way, I simply don't respond. What better "ignore" than that? The "ignore" function on site is not a real ignore. How can one ignore that what one doesn't know about? If certain posts don't reach you, how can you ignore them? That is more a "cope-out" or "stick-head-in-sand-like-ostrich" function. I am perfectly served by my personal "ignore". This is an act of will, not a software function, and I even feel satisfaction to decide to ignore some stupid post that I don't think warrants an answer. ChristianPFC 1 Quote
Guest ronnie4you Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 I couldn't possibly ignore firecat. Steveboy, well, yes, but then I would have someone on my ignore list and why bother to do that? Others will still quote him and talk about him, so I'd be reading him anyway. And, frankly, most days I am just fine with steveboy. Quote
vinapu Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 I don't have anybody on ignore , just not responding to annoying posts is good substitute. As for banning members I'm not fan of that and think better thing would be just removing offending posts but l understand that it was too time consuming for moderators. Temporary suspension should be enough to cool hotheads. By the way where's firecat? Can't imagine he was banned, did I missed something? Perhaps he put all of us of his own big ignore? Hope he is doing well wherever he is. ggobkk 1 Quote

Vessey Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Hummm. is it worse to ignore someone or to be ignored by someone? LOL We are too small a forum for these sort of mind-games IMHO Quote
steveboy Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Hummm. is it worse to ignore someone or to be ignored by someone? LOL We are too small a forum for these sort of mind-games IMHO We fully agree. We should all ignore...the negatives and concentrate on the positives. Quote
