Title: MC to add an "ignore" function in the future?
Post by: auf_wiedersehen_pet on December 20, 2007, 12:17:55: As I understand it, there is a distant possibility of an "ignore" function being added to MC software so that we can decide to ignore members comments if we choose to.

I was just wondering how other members felt about this?

The way I see it, if you dislike someone at your regular pub (for example) you will simply ignore them. Same rules here I guess - better than changing pubs :)

Post by: Paul on December 20, 2007, 14:31:05: We arenâ€™t actually adding an ignore function, What we are doing is moving over to a new forum software, I understand that the new software has this function available, In fact it has whole host of extra functions..

From what Iâ€™ve seen it has more features and greater flexibility.

Post by: rollazuki on December 20, 2007, 15:10:53: Is it so they cant PM you, or you just dont see their posts in threads.

Jeez guys, you ever heard the phrase 'variety is the spice of life'?

You need the bad and the good, to make balanced judgements etc. If someone posts garbage all day long, then one day you may succeed in educating them, and in the meantime they will leave you feeling mentally and morally superior..........

Sounds a bit like my gran grumbling theres nowt on telly, then sitting watching it all day......just turn it off.

hey, why not make it possible to set up M/C so you can only read your own posts, then life will be perfect eh.....

:roll:

Post by: V8MoneyPit on December 20, 2007, 17:05:13: I'm assuming it's a function that will only affect the person who uses it? In which case, it might as well be available if the new software allows it. If you choose not to use it, so be it. I haven't read anything that suggests it is being imposed on anyone. So I don't see what the fuss is about.

Post by: fudge on December 20, 2007, 20:33:09: If I chose to Ignore V8moneypit (safest example to use :wink: ) when i read a thread and he'd posted, instead of his post I'd see a line thats clickable that says that he posted.... If I clicked it I could read his posts too or choose to ignore them.

I have that feature on another site..... personally I don't use it and prefer to tell a tit that he/she is a tit! :D

You've never spoken to my mother clearly :-o

As I say, the feature is an additional thing you can chose to do if you like, I don't know how well it works, or indeed quite what it does to be brutally honest ...

It'll be in the new software unless I can work out how to turn it off of course :)
