the 'ignore function'

[Bob]

I've seen a few people mention putting someone on 'ignore' in a couple of posts lately and I just had a few questions about it...

 

firstly how do you do it?

secondly why would you do it? doesnt it make the thread a bit nonsensical when people might respond to a post written by someone you are currently ignoring and therefore you have no context in which to take something.

Finally, if you wanted to ignore someone, cant you just not read their posts?

 

if anyone has any answers please send them in on a postcard, no fuck it, just reply.

Click on a person's name and go to their public profile. in there you'll see an "add this person to your ignore list" button.

 

I dunno. Yes. Yes.

[Stu Monty]

It's all part of the fingers in the ears attitude of some people.

 

Or more acurately the one person who keep saying he uses it.

What it does is it shows you that there is a post by whoever you've put on there but you can't read the post itself.

See DT, i know you're there, i just dont know what you're saying. :biggrin:

Has someone started a thread here?

[Nunavut Patrick]

It's all blank; must be a seal clubbing or Gerrard thread.

 

Hellloooo? Helllooooo?

[Kopite]

So who's on your ignore list?

 

Hello, anyone there? ;)

[Jari37]

no

Bump

 

 

I know it's been mentioned a few times lately, I'm bumping this to implore that all of you who so vehemently disagree with another poster to use it.

 

1, it'll make this place a more pleasant place to be

2, it'll lower your blood pressure

3, it'll limit your future number of posts making it seem like you have a life

4, you'll save time - instead of arguing with another poster you could spend that time enjoying some vitamin D.

 

I'm sure you can all add to this list, but given i'm not as highly strung as some of you i was struggling.

 

Directions...

Go to user CP

left hand side half way down, click edit ignore function,

type in members name... voilà, a more peaceful life and no more reading shit.

Did somebody say something?

[Lex Anderfield]

As a general rule, I tend to agree unwaveringly with melons of any description...

 

Anything that can reduce pointless bickering on this site should be utilised where possible.

 

For the record, most brains do also come with an in-built ignore function as well.

There are posters on here I disagree with, and others who test my patience. Instead of ignoring one poster I will just walk away from my computer, and come back when I want to. I avoid this place like the plague after bad results or threads about Rafa get out of control.

[Trumo]

Nobody on here makes me angry enough that I need to take a step back. There are some that test my patience mainly because I don't agree with them and they seem to make the same point over and over again, but I've never engaged in the sort of full-blown warfare that several posters on here seem to revel in. As a result I've never had to put anybody on ignore, and I don't know if anyone has me on ignore either.

[Jorge Borge]

I used to think it wasn't really a good thing to do, as we come across opinions we don't agree with all the time in life and obviously dismiss them without letting them get to us.

 

After Dave implored people to use it last week on another meltdown thread, however, I thought I'd give it a go and I have to say I can't recommend it enough. A few people have been proper getting my goat of late and now, when I see an 'invisible' post, I smile (possibly smugly) to myself and breeze on by.

 

I know it's me who has the problem, as I should just let it go, but this is the easier option, until I am a better man.

[RoboRiise]

I tend to ignore posts by the traditional method of err... ignoring them.

[stringvest]

I like using it. It saves precious seconds.

[Istvan Kozma]

2000 and fucking 5!? 2005!"? brilliant. how come when i use the search function nowt comes up? is it how you techys might say, fucked?

[Ynwa20]

He who angers you owns you.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

I only used it on Rashid, but people kept on quoting him, which defeated the whole ignore function.

 

So I just use the old fashioned ignore function that RoboRiise mentioned.
