Ignored Forum members' posts

For a few weeks now I have started using the Ignore function for certain members of this forum. The thing with how the forum software handles posts from ignored users is, that there is no idication that ignored members posted in a thread, so reading the whole thing through gets a bit confusing from time to time.

My suggestion, if technically possible, would be to handle it like the rFactor 2 Forum does. They still show you THAT the user posted something, but you don't see WHAT they posted. You can also choose to unignore single posts, instead of whole threads.

 

Hi Gevatter,

I'm guessing you know about the little indication at the bottom of the page, which signals if there is some ignored content (it's a clicky 'Show Ignored Content' link), but just mentioning it incase you don't.

Personally, I'm fine with never ever reading a single word from users in my ignore list ever again, or indeed even seeing evidence that they still exist, and I don't ever click to show what they've posted. A little confusion while reading through threads is a small price to pay.

 

If it was just a little confusion, it would be fine.
But as of now, you need to show all the ignored content, to keep track of a thread. Or simply be lost.

 

I know about this, yes, but thanks The problem is, it brings up all ignored posts and their contents. I'd rather only see the post without content, so I know what people are on about when reacting to a post I don't normally see.

 

Hmmm.....Why don't you unblock and just scroll by them....simples

 

It's like a horror movie late at night. You know you shouldn't watch it, because you will be too scared to sleep well, but you do it anyways? That's those posts for me, I just can't look away, and it hurts my brain.

 

Hahaha it's called "Tote-Katze-Prinzip"...dead cat principle It's not nice to look at but you still can't help it

Honestly, I love the ignore function and for me it's fine the way it is. If I see a thread with no obvious sense in it due to hidden posts I just move on. I barely ever open ignored posts, anymore.

 

Ignore is great if you just want out for a bit. I usually give it a week then clear the ignore list. Sometimes people have bad days and after the 'Chillout' time most seem to be better people and have some good ideas.

 

Nah...some don't. I do it the other way around - lots of patience in the beginning but if someone repeatedly gets on my nerves they're out for good. If a troll says something useful in every 10th post well that's just too bad for me then, I guess ;-)

 

How come I'm not in that list Dude! Not good enough, not good enough at all!!!!

 

Wow, you seem to ignore a lot of people, if that's an issue for you.

 

We try hard, but he seems to like us...

 

Not at all, it's a mere 10 people on my list, 4 of those I think are not even here anymore. But it's not about how often that happens, but that it's confung when it happens.

 

I never ignore by button. If i see the avatar of someone i dont care for i just dont read it. I dont have anyone i ignore atm but yeah, thats how i do it. I wont die if i see some words from someone i dont care about. Maybe im just not sensitive to it.
