How many of you guys will actually permanently ignore someone on arfcom once the feature is implemented?
In my opinion, there's no point to a discussion forum when you only hear the people you want to hear. Discussion involves people injecting different viewpoints, even those you disagree with. What say you? |

What say you? The people I'd ignore are the ones saying the same vapid sentiments over and over. I could write their posts for them. |

In my opinion, there's no point to a discussion forum when you only hear the people you want to hear. Discussion involves people injecting different viewpoints, even those you disagree with. What say you? There are two people I can think of that I would ignore (one of them being you). Nothing they post is ever worth reading and attempting to do so only angers me. Beyond that I agree that ignoring people on a discussion board is silly. J/K I would never ignore the possum guy. |

I can think of three people right off the top of my head. And it has nothing to do with debating or differing viewpoints. I'm 100% curious. If it's not these peoples viewpoints, or his/her debating in a thread, what other reason(s) would there be to ignore someone? |

Didn't think of that one, but someone comes to mind for that. Personally I wouldn't ignore him though. I just don't read his threads. Every other one of this threads is something along the lines of, "My dog died", "I'm homeless", "My life is fucked", "Dumpster diving sucks", or "How much alcohol does it take to make you forget everything for the last 5 years", etc. |

Their excessive stupidity and drama would be my answer. Exactly. There is one person, just trying to decipher his posts makes my head hurt. It doesn't help that I've never seen him post anything worth reading. Oh...now I am curious. Who? IM? I won't say a word.

One, I don't think I've literally ever seen them make a single post that wasn't a troll. The other two, one is an asshole and the other strikes me as a complete fucking moron. |

There's one in particular I wouldn't mind ignoring in threads of a certain topic, outside of that there's no issue. There's another that I wouldn't miss at all if he dropped off the forum tomorrow.
If people comment about the ignored poster though you are missing half the conversation and that makes it difficult to comprehend. Probably won't use it. |

Out on a limb, everyone of them have been drug in the pit in the last couple months. With the old man getting soft & whatnot they still live to troll along........ |

It's in use on the FAL Files.............I tried it for awhile, and its just as you say. The 'ignored' says something in his typical fashion, gets a bunch of folks wound up, and you have no idea what is going on cause everytime he's quoted , its 'BLANKED OUT' . I stopped using it.

Quoted: No, you will see someting like "assmonkey" as a reply post header, and then a blank message body. Since you don't care, it won't matter.Wouldn't you still see the persons posts in replys by other posters? And then not have a clue what people are talking about if they start a thread?  For as long as I've been here, I really only have one person that I'd put there. I'm just really tired of reading that persons dumb assed shit. (None of you will know who that is though)  |

Quoted: Quoted: Instead of an "Ignore" button, I'd appreciate if staff would implement a filter to reject every "and so it begins" post. That would be just dandy  How about every IBTL, IBTP, FTW, FAIL, TAG, OST, IN ON PAGE 1, THIS, +1, PAGE X OWNAGE, etc. You left out STFU NEWB  |

I can think of 5 posters off the top of my head, but I am already doing fine at ignoring them manually. Only because those 5 people always have the same predictable regurgitated asshat views. I do not need to keep reading them to know they are spewing the same garbage they have been spewing for years. |
| I have a couple of people on here that I can't stand. They seem to come right out and take personal stabs at me anytime they can just because of where I work. Do I like it? NO! But I still won't ignore them. They can say what they want and I can either ignore them myself, or listen to their opinion. If I ignore them, there may be the one time that either they tell me something I didn't know, or I may sway them a bit. You never know. Plus, it's just the internet. I don't care that much. |
