    I have been here a few years now and over that period I have come to recognise the names of posters whose only aim is to cause animosity. Some have made many posts and over the term of their membership have used multiple forum names. My list has many names but, in reality, I am probably only blocking half a dozen men. There are those on my list who have been placed in the Doghouse and who haven't posted since their incarceration. So, my list needs a little bit of weeding.

    You have been here a long time and you too could easily guess the names of those who are on my list. I don't block people because they do not agree with my stated views. I only block idiots who, being incapable of making meaningful contributions themselves, derive their enjoyment from abusing others. I don't like to see other people treated badly and it is not necessary for an individual to abuse me before he figures on my list. I identify idiots and block them.

    Can, that's not what I asked...

    You said they could figure out for themselves they were blocked....how can they do that?

    I am sorry if I misunderstood you. I do not respond to any posts made by those on my block list. There is an opportunity to take a quick look at what a poster has said but I do not avail myself of this facility. Once I have decided I don't want to read a particular person's posts that is the end of the matter. It will dawn on them gradually that I do not respond to anything they have written and that they must, therefore, be on my list.

    If others did the same as me the overall standard of behaviour would improve. In particular, people like Nigel would not be driven away from here.

    Or we'd have a forum where only a few people were actually reading each others posts....

    Never made it onto anybody's IL as far as I know. Even Can says I'm not on his and he has a compulsive psychological disorder about it.
    Man, I'd worry bigly, the nutter might bite.

    In part why I enquired about the Ignore function. OK one can tune it out but...

    Yes, because I want to encourage others to do the same as me. If we all blocked the idiots they would be forced to change their behaviour. I am quite sure that you could easily name at least six people on my list. You know as well as I do which posters offer only abuse/ drivel in the hope of provoking conflict. They think it is smart to be disruptive. They have limited knowledge themselves and all they can offer is to criticise and attack others without need. One poster has actually boasted about getting rid of a productive member by abusing him at every opportunity. This boast has been made in the last few days and was backed up with words which showed he would continue to act badly.
    If you have read that, it seems your ignore function has a malfunction - or is a complete waste of time.

    Name and shame them then, because it seems the mods don't know about them - only you say you know them.

    Largely a waste of time. Never used it in 7 years. Put one alcoholic on ignore a month or so ago. Still see everything other than the text. I took him off and now just ignore him.

    You have quoted Neverna. I could not read what he had written prior to your quotes as he is on my block list and has been for about a year. So, it works. Apart from the quotes I am spared him.

    I've never used the ignore feature. I'll read stupid shit by ignorant fuckwits and have a chuckle.

    It's whether you decide to respond to what you think is fuckwittery and how you respond is up to you. Everything else is simply to be savored....

    ^Kind of my point, Can. As soon as someone quotes him, you see it anyway, so why bother.....

    So it doesn't stop you seeing posts by those on your block list and it doesn't stop you viewing comments you find obnoxious by people not on your block list.

    As Davis said, a complete waste of time.

    And of course, it doesn't stop people on your ignore list replying to your posts.

    I feel that in my own little way I am trying to improve the forum by not responding to those on my list.

    I'll go out on a limb to suggest that those who engage in ignore functions are largely enabling blocking functions towards certain individuals from redding said member.....as one can still read posts by those who've been blocked by clicking on the link next to the particular post. And I suspect that, in real practice, the offended does read those posts/members that are supposedly ignored - outta curiosity.

    Quite silly.

    ^^Understood. But the same thing could be accomplished without having them on ignore - just don't respond.

    Baldrick is trying to train me (with reds) not to respond to PizzaBoy, and I now rarely do. I just red him every chance I get.

    I believe that you sent me a "red" at some time but you do not appear on my block list. You know just as well as I do who the disruptive people are. You are free to use a block list if you wish but it doesn't worry me if you don't. I will continue to use one to rid me of trolls and their ilk.

    I don't understand... Just what does TD have without the fighting, name-calling and general petty patheticness?

    Ahh, but have you succeeded in blocking all the other usernames of this obnoxious, disruptive troll who has nothing constructive to contribute?
