Ignore user!!

[Goodsoulette]

Given this option, would you use it (no need to get personal) and would you be able to stick to it? Or would it just get the better of you.

[Ice-Maiden]

Depends on who said what.

[kyra16]

agree w ice...depends

d'you mean that we could flag a particular user id with a big flashing warning light that reminded us each time their id came on the screen that they are a total waste oi time and not to get involved in their lunacy? I think i need that to remind me , I keep forgetting and not taking other peoples advice to ignore and report.

[Ice-Maiden]

I find it difficult to keep quiet don't I - but because some people get fun out of reporting those with opinions - however diverse - then I have to tone it down! Hmph!

[kyra16]

true that ice...
dot i know things get personal...but i just wish everyone would stop reporting everything...
don't get mad
but hell people r getting banned daily

[Ice-Maiden]

There's always going to be something which upsets some people some of the time. I don't mean to be deliberately malicious to anyone on here, but over the past 24 hours, everytime I've popped on, I've seen some really unpleasant replies - far worse than I've ever said myself.

[dot.hawkes]

I am hardly on here in the day and don;t see the bannings , at night i come on to answer the interesting questions and end up coming across posts abusing me when usuallly i have not even been online, that is why i retaliate, i hate it but i won;t ignore it, people are obsessed with trying to run me down,

It's a good idea most people on here know what kind of responses they are likely to get from someone so to choose to ignore it might help calm things down. But you know what they say about curiosity ..... :)

[Ice-Maiden]

This is very true Louisa.

The only obvious problem with the �ignore� function is that you want the ignored person to know that they are being ignored. Often silence speaks volumes, so it is much better to not get involved or just go through the motions of ignoring, rather than actually selecting an �ignore� function.

Personally speaking I don�t ignore particular users. More often I ignore certain threads. Sometimes though, �certain� users post an irrelevant or abusive point within a thread, which the AB Editor deigns to keep, so I just ignore it as if I haven�t read it or it has no affect on me whatsoever. Usually I couldn�t give two shrivelled monkey nuts either way.

Use of the site just requires some self control and a laissez-fair mind set. Rather than get worked up, take a deep breath, think of Lauren Cooper (Catherine Tate) and mouth the word: whatever.

I think I will just ignore body and soul and the inarticulate ramblings of a madman lol

[legend758duo]

wise words octavius.

[4GS]

Don't ignore B+S Rev, just the inarticulate ramblings of that particular madman lol

[legend758duo]

octavius taking your advice i have just turned on my ignore users button.


thanks for that.

You know me GS, I tend to ignore most of the cr@p on here anyway. The times I do answer it's usually to point out the stupidity or to say my piece and go.

I can't understand how people can get so nasty to people they've never met before. I mean if you don't like someone you meet on a day to day basis and you have to interact with them, then you can generally find it in you to be civil. Why that doesn't apply on here I will never know.

Anyhow, that doesn't answer your question. Becasue I tend not to get involved in the madness then sometimes I chose to ignore certain pixels and sometimes I choose to answer. I'm very hard to wind up in day to day life and AB is no exception. That being the case I probably wouldn't need to use an 'ignore user' option.

It might be useful for some members though. However their gobs/typing hand might get in the way.

[Octavius]

See, CD, I always assumed that you were more of a �turn on� girl than a wind up girl. I guess I just mistakenly believed that pressing the right buttons worked for you, not a crank-handle.

[China Doll]

How's Rover?

[Octavius]

In bed asleep.

[China Doll]

Lucky, lucky dog.

I wish I was too.

How many times have you mouthed the word 'whatever' this morning? And did you do it with the accompanying hand and head wiggle gesture?
