Post subject: The ignore button. | |
|
Before any mods jump on me. I am not having a crack at the job being done. I am just wanting to get a feel for what the BB thinks of the option.
I am just wondering whether it is needed and highly used. I for one do not believe in it. However, I did use it once but then decided I was just being silly.
I know sometimes we disagree that is human. But to ignore is that courteous???
Sure there are times I don't like certain comments or points of view. But if I had them on ignore I would miss at times great insights offered as well.
I am not asking Nicksters to tell us who you have on ignore.
Just want feed back to give the guys a gauge on whether the Nicksters still need this option? Or should it be something to be looked at scrapping? _________________ All this may be summed up in one word - CHARACTER - and if that is not worth developing, nothing is.

Keep it. Helps avoid nasty bickering. But "love it", no. That's not a good way to phrase the question _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

Keep the thing. Its great because it allows me to get rid of certain elements (and for certain elements to get rid of me!!!)
Saves me reading useless comments and then attacking them. If I cant read them then I dont attack them and they go through to the keeper.
Goodness knows how many yellow cards its saved me!!!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH ILD MARRY IT, but thats illeagal in my state _________________ ASCSA - Alice Springs Collingwood Supporters association - President and sole member |

I'd like to see the threads without seeing the message that there are posts in the thread with ignored users in it. It just makes you want to know who it is.
So if they could get rid of that feature it would be absolutely fantastic. _________________ "whaaa whaaaaaa! |

Its useless but is a top excuse to use if someone is having a go at you. You just say...put me on ignore. There is no reply to that. _________________ There's more to life than footy.........just not much more. |

Yeah, great comment , Madness.
I often think: "Which one of the losers is it this time?"
Then, if we start to worry about what the losers are saying........!!
nah, leave the "ignore " button in place.
Note to self: Must compare ignore lists with Madness soon. |

I don't really use it these days... it's a little frustrating when you don't know what's going on
Still, I think it's important we have the function, and indeed I think people should use it more. There are some posters who get attacked by the same people over and over again, you would think the latter posters could just chuck them on ignore... although it is true that it's more fun to have a go at people.
Lol, Madness, whenever I saw that message I had to click it anyway And most of the guys I ignored just showed up later with different usernames anyhow. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Very precious people who would need such a device.

I think ignore is a good feature, stops bickering in some cases. _________________ Jacqui © Proud Pies 2003 and beyond |

Tend to agree, why fuss over something you can quite easily turn away from?............. build................bridge.............get............over it _________________ Formally frankiboy and FrankieGoesToCollingwood. |

One good one is where you can ignore the IP number. This is in a chat program where I used to go years ago. So if the person turned up in a different name you'd know, all of a sudden you'd see others chatting to a name you didn't have on your list. Hmmmm that must be so and so.
That would be a good way to work out other user names especially with so many people on broadband these days. Gee, it would be like coming back on here say, if you were a bloke, and using a girls nic...you know? tazzas girl or similar. I could come back as a man. YAY. _________________ "whaaa whaaaaaa! |
