Moderation Questions

Seriously. If we are entering the Attitude Era of American politics, then I don't want to hear any whining about thread titles.

Every once in a blue moon I hit show post on one of Jalfrezi's posts and immediately regret it

But in general, the ignore feature works when morons don't quote bad posts

Even if it's only once in a blue moon 😉 that's still incentive enough for me.

The biggest problem. I also don't like that they can still see and respond to my posts. It's really pretty useless. If it worked that way I'd never see them again, I promise you that.

Basically you're saying you want the right to post with anyone on this site, but you also want the right to deny that to others.

That sounds a little, er, egocentric. Some might say, even Trumpian.

It's quite amazing what a little politics forum can bring out in people.

Where did I say I want to deny anyone the right to post here? You're aware that the way I described it is how the blocking function works on most sites, right?

If I block someone on TikTok, I never see them, they never see me. If I block someone on Facebook, I never see them, they never see me. That's all I'm saying. I wish it worked like that here. And again, if you think that's egocentric, that's pretty stupid, but I also don't care.

Did you not just say you agreed the biggest problem was quoting moronic posts?

I'm still going to say Rump Snorters - come at me bro ...

Once again, you're claiming the right to read posts by and post with anyone on this site, but you also claim the right to stop others from doing the same.

Why shouldn't someone else be able to read your posts on a public forum? By denying them this right you're detrimentally affecting the use they get from this forum because they won't be able to keep track of conversations. On discussion/debating software, that's quite fascistic.

(The quoting thing is a problem, I agree, and is handled far better by other forum software).

The ignore feature here is admittedly pretty bad

The biggest problem is that I see ignored users' posts that others quote. I have no problem with people using the board the way they want. I just wish I didn't see posts from users I've blocked if they get quoted by someone I haven't blocked. I also with I didn't see that they HAVE posted. I just want to never have to think about them again.

I would like the ability to control who reads what I post, if that's what you mean, yes. Just like I can on most sites. Sorry if you don't like it. The lack of this function is nearly enough to make me not post here anymore. It probably will be the reason very soon.

Have your confetti ready.

I liked the way that rhymed.

However I do also agree with jalfrezi that mentioning frequently who you have on ignore is passive aggressive and deeply immature

Ah. lol

Yeah, I think the problem is with the way the board functions, not the way users quote others.

Sorry hahaha

I'm ok with anyone and everyone seeing me as both of those things, for the record.

and he's always the first to respond to those he repeatedly mentions are on his ignore list lololol

Haha ok ok, relax

I don't ignore forever because it's a useless feature. Whenever I put someone on there, I usually remove them in less than a week because the function is so utterly stupid and ineffective.

Called out for what, being in the opposing political party as you? lmfao...

The amount of drama in this forum is beyond ridiculous.

And I have one more very important thing to say:

Spoiler

Show

I have and have had just one person on my ignore list, not a politics poster thankfully.

You just made this up.

Happy for CN to confirm this.

Relax, there's zero chance he wasn't talking about me. He's one of those guys that can't resist taking shots at me when they see my name.

Ok, that does make more sense, but he loves taking shots at me too when he sees my name.

lololol

Where's the mod thread for Winners?
