Ignore list - useful tool!

I've been using it for the past few months to weed out the Debbie Downers and obvious disinfo people on the board.

Is it just for thread starters, in which the thread itself does not show up on your New Posts?

Thanks for the info

I think its a great option after having 'tested' it myself on a couple of forums, but I've never actually put anyone on an ignore list and kept them there. Somebody would have to go really overboard for me to even consider it.

i would never use it. dont see the point. too much like sticking my head in the sand.

Another down side I can see is that if that person ever tried to send you a private message, he/she must get a reject notice of some kind. I can see this doing harm. Not good.

Gee, I get quoted sometimes so I guess I still make it to some screens and I'm not yet talking alone like a snubbed ghost here.

The ignore feature could actually be a funny alternative to banning members. Ask Gareth to write a script so that instead of forbidding posting to the bad members when banning them, it will instead add them to the ignore list of ALL Avalon's membership at once, except those already banned before and still posting.

Then we could have another feature to override the ignore list and see their posts once in a while for a giggle. It would feel like re-watching The Sixth Sense. An army of banned Bruce Willis clones posting like crazy and without a clue what's going on.

Oh my intention is only to ban a couple of people that are beyond reason

I believe in finding win win situations and don't like people that force themselves unto others disrespecting their free will and free speach. So when things have gone beyond what one can do to satisfy one's spiritual integrity, and ones boundaries keep being breached, I think it is fair to vanish those that chose to be abusive and do not listen.

I am not a victim and I am not going to put up with irrational behaviour

You should ignore Kerry.

this could turn out quite amusing where the forum breaks down into a useless pile of drivel as everyone starts ingnoring each other. LOL .. if someone is bad enough to get the ignore treatment then thats what moderators are for is it not?

OR alternitavley just cocoon yourself.. zzzzzzz boring

There is a bunch of infiltrators that are quite obviously harassing people gently, using psychology to get people angry, you can not call the moderators for that so press the bann button. Lots of psychologists

We know who they are

Love to all the real avaloneans and the infiltrators

Oh, that's rich. "We" know who "They" are. What a blatantly polarized statement. Us against them.

Why are you taking this personally? is not about you, is it?

Should we then play the tptb be game and drop our frequency level? play their game?

I'm surprised by how personal this has become as well.

Shaming and insulting...tactics used by those with controlling personalities.

Absolutely! What I don't get is why people can not understand that most of us are beyond convincing and just want to get on with our creative interchanges

I sincerely believe this angle hasn't occurred to many of them.

They call us old fashion and afraid of ourselves but we been there got the t-shirt and are beyond their dark night of the soul

a person with an ignore feature on,
is likely to miss most of the site

It's not personal. And you are playing their game.

"Here...gather round little ones...I'll do your discerning for you, as...welll...you see...I've arrived and you haven't. So trust me to tell you how it is. I've got the Reppie bites as credentials".

What's it's about, is giving people the space to do their own discerning. Not personal at all.

One can not reason with unreasonable people

In advanced societies, when people are unreasonable they are ignored

I find that quite reasonable

Love to all

[Stardustaquarion]

The Exchanger you are banned from my screen so hope you are not addressing me cos I will not answer

Love to all

who's unreasonable? The one who wants to talk? or the one who says "you're not there"?

Advanced societies have free, open, unhindered communication. No enforcement. No inhibiting. Desire for harmony and understanding. Not "you don't think like me....go away."

This is my last answer to you on this matter

Free will does not mean free for all it obeys the law of cause, effect and consequence

When people behave in a civilized and respectful manner they tend to be welcomed every where now read my leaps....

Abrax is sufferinf the consequences of his behaviour, so be it! it is about time too

Abrax do not need defending

Now let there be peace

Does that mean I go back on ignore? I have a better idea. Why don't we enlightened individuals show them how it's done, and hammer this out? Certainly if we can claim to have made personal progress and gained insight and perspective, we are not intimidated by disagreement?

Nope, I am just tired of typing that is all
