NJW Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Another forum I frequent has a fantastic little feature where you can choose to 'ignore' a member - meaning you never see their posts on the forum. Is there a way to do that here? Quote
Paul Cooke Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 yes... but as far as I can tell, you have to do it as an option while viewing that member's profile Quote
Wil Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Yep, it works a treat! There's an option in the user control panel, you just type in the user's name and it blocks their posts. Edited January 15, 2008 by Wil Quote
beerdragon Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I wouldn't have thought it was needed on Basschat. but then what do i know. Quote

The Funk Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm now paranoid, or for those of you who've blocked me, blank space. Quote
stewblack Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 It's a fantastic feature which, if you'd asked me on BW I'd have said was completely unnecessary. Does help my blood pressure though. Toasted - you remind me of Ted Heath post 1975! Quote

Guest TheBigBeefChief Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Why would you want to ignore anyone? Even if you can't stand them and disagree with everything they say, surely threads stop making sense when there are huge gaps in them? Its people like that who have given bass players the rep of meek, non-confrontational, sheepish losers. Actually, I doubt anyone will read this. Oh well.

Guest TheBigBeefChief Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Exactly. I almost think people do it as a point of principle, when really it serves no purpose and is in fact pretty childish. I think most people can simply choose to ignore a post if they don't agree with it, but at least read it first. Quote
NJW Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Im not ignoring anyone just yet, but I just find that there are a number of slightly irritating posts which 99% of the time have no relevance whatsoever to anything being discussed - and they all come from the same person . So it'd be nice to have the option. And nah, its none of you Quote
bass_ferret Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Ca we have a league table like we have with posts Quote
stewblack Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I just wish it wiped the person out all together. Still have to see that they exist which does irritate but nowhere near as much as accidentally reading a tiny bit of one of their posts. As we all know the kind of trollish idiocy that attempts to ruin any message board is best remedied by complete ignorance, and ignoring something is easier if you don't have to read it in the first place.
