Re: Ignore feature
^I dont either cos its pointless cos you can still see everyone posts in theory so the ignore function is therefore pointless. Plus usually when someone quotes them it means what that person said was the main reason they were put on ignore in the first place lol.

Re: Ignore feature
Its worth looking into addons, for example firefox used to have a plugin I used years ago that almost removed absolutely everything including quotes. (Possibly needed to have their name quoted properly - not sure.)
Ofcourse.. It can be confusing if someone quoted someone else and replying to that quote which is invisible to you. You still tend to realise.. 'oh.. they probably talking about that racist idiot..' so that aspect is still unavoidable. Its also intuitive to know what threads are likely to be posted on. =p I dont remember the name or know what is out currently. Worth having a search. I dont currently use such tools as I prefer to mentally block them nowadays. That way I can still report them to the mods in extreme cases when I hear about it. Everything else I just block them in my head for the most part, sometimes accidentally read their posts. |

Re: Ignore feature
Can it be made so if someones on your ignore you dont see when they post? Instead of it just showing them making empty posts?
I thought the point of ignore was you dont see when they post =P. |

Re: Ignore feature
Has Occultus ever considered switching forum software? I'm aware it would be a mammoth task to do but am happy to donate little bit towards the costs and hours.
No disrepect meant but I've come across other forums in the last year or so that use quite neat and powerful software in comparison to this one. I like this one... http://www.invisionpower.com/products/board/ for example. |

Re: Ignore feature
^ Its a fair point however sometimes reading other people's posts affects another persons SA general mood and can cause triggers or justs offend them. Plus the basic fact that not everyone can get on with everyone else in the world real or online so best to ignore them rather than try and get on and end up just hitting a brick wall.

Re: Ignore feature
If I was sitting with a group of people and one, two or more people were ignoring everything I said I would think I was being bullied.
If you don't like what someone says in a post then just ignore that post. To ignore that person forever seems to be childish and pretty ignorant to me. Quote:

I would have a problem if I knew someone was ignoring me. But my solution is not to have them forced to listen to me, it is for me to raise my self esteem and accept that not everyone is interested in me or likes what I say. Basically I am trying to learn to say - stuff them, if they're not interested it's their loss, I'll talk to someone who is. |

in practise its sometimes a bit more like "if your mum and dad are verbally abusive, just ignore what they say". how well can we just mentally switch off stuff that upsets us? i have used the ignore function in the past and will continue to do so. |

Re: Ignore feature
I've never used the ignore function, but I can see it as very useful. It's far more sensible to put someone on ignore rather than feel wound up by their posts. It doesn't have to be permanent, and the ignored doesn't need to know; it just provides you with some breathing space.

Re: Ignore feature
If I play a card game online, and my partner dishes out abuse. I can ignore him. Why because this is a mental health support site does rules change? You're still going to get people who get kicks from antagonising others, sa site or not. Allow the courtesy of the same tools to be able to maintain your mental harmony- whether having to go away feeling worse. A website shouldn't be doing that.

As Bloggs said you will still get people who get kicks from antagonising and baiting other members so best to put them on ignore rather than go through anymore stress as its impossinle to try and ignore their posts without this feature unless you ignore every thread they have at least 1 post in which is ridiculous for someone to have to do don't you agree? |

Re: Ignore feature
@ itschris - What if someone was being harassed/stalked or verbally abused in PM? I've never used the ignore feature on here but believe every body has a right to do so.
It's somewhat mind boggling you think it's "excluding people". |
