How do I ignore someone? - About the Forums

Do you have statistics for users being ignored? It seems like you could track that, and even weight for users doing the ignoring (how often they use it, how many ignore them) and then autoban people that suck too much. This would work best if nobody knew it was occuring so ignores weren't used as a public rating system. Which is why I made this post.

You could have diebitter implement this I am sure. He used to work at the post office after all.

Well, in a very loose definition of "work" I guess you could say I did.

I add a number of threads to my "favourites" so that I get replies emailed to me.

Today, I added the first person to my ignore list (realjaydub). However, I still get replies posted by him emailed to me.

This makes me sad.

In the next software update, can you please fix this?

(also, when a user is set to ignore, it still tells me that he has edited his post, which makes me more curious about what they wrote)

Ignoring people is pretty much the only way to read the internet gambling forum without wanting to stab people.

'cause i prefer email?

easier to see new posts, it happens automatically, it also avoids me reading double posts, and is easier to search

set the topic as a favourite; have settings in "my home" set to send replies to favourite topics to you.

i use gmail (through google apps for your domain) and it threads the conversations perfectly. when people change the subject lines, it groups it into new conversations/threads.

There once was a guy named Josem
Who was trying his best to ignor'em
But he opens his mail
And suddenly turns pale
When he see that the moron still trolls'em

RoundGay,

I can't help but notice it's after 11PM Iowa time and you haven't been banned yet. Are you on vacation in Hawaii or something?
