Question or Suggestion / Not sure which

Hello!
The question I have is: do we have acces to 'ignore' people that make comments? If so, where? If not, is it possible to have this made available? I read a lot of these forums....and there is one particular young gentleman that is usually ugly/smartass in his comments...and I for one don't even like to read what he has to say anymore just because he's 99.9% negative/ugly. It just gets old....so I started looking for an 'ignore' button....and wasn't able to find one....perhaps there is one but it has a different name?

Thanks!

Negative comments aren't always a bad thing, some we can learn from. See one of yours says it's a fake, thats just her opinion. Don't worry about someones opinion, we all have them when we make comments. The good ones far outway the bad ones...well I hope they do.

True. I enjoy negative comments just as much as the good ones. It helps me see stuff I normally don't. I was talking about in the forums but SC usually takes care of that pretty quickly. Regarding comments if you don't agree just don't mark it helpful. I usually find the bad ones to be as helpful if not more than the good ones.

She is taking about negative comments in the forums, not for photos.

I think.

I would....but it may just be a personality thing...he's young, know-it-all, immature person that just happens to have a bad personality too. I assume his bad manners are due to his immaturity and not being corrected from a young age on. I'll try the request post and see how that works. Thanks for the reply! :)

Bear in mind that unless the posts break site rules or violate the terms of service, we really can't censor them. Certainly there are a vey few folks that have rather poor forum etiquette; we should try to be tolerant, but if the behavior warrants, there is nothing stopping anyone from issuing a gentle prod toward better behavior. if the behavior crosses the line and violates the terms of service or stie rules, then by all means report the post ASAP.

Some of us are just curmudgeonly grouches and cannot help it.

And sometimes even if we could help it, we're not quite up to speed on the culture of the site so we don't always know the best way to be helpful. I would hope someone might feel free to PM me if any of my own comments seemed harmful.

Now I'm thinking (I'm sure others as well), "I know I can be pretty sarcastic in here at times, I hope it's not me." But I don't think I'm that much of a smartass. I have a sick/dry sense of humor, so if I ever offend anybody here, feel free to just tell me to shut up. 8^)

BTW....it's none of you that have posted :)

Whew!

You're doing the right thing. Just remember that there are always going to be people that ruffle your feathers here. Best thing to do is just ignore them and let it go. Of course, from your profile pic you look like you got a pretty buff husband/boyfriend. He could probably take care of him. ;-)

Was it me? Was it me?? ...oh, you said young. :(

On a serious note, not to make waves or anything, but from what I've read of your posts in this thread, there is someone posting messages in the forum not directed at you that you consider ugly/smart ass, but probably hasn't violated any rules and I'm guessing you don't know him personally, nor does it appear that you have communicated with him directly, but you have developed an extensive psychological profile on him. Could it be you are a little over-sensitive? I'm not trying to be mean or ugly (maybe a touch of smart-ass, though).

My advice would simply to avoid reading his posts - skip over them.

I do believe you can 'ignore' threads in the forums - not sure what that does though.

Hope this helps. :)

Can't be me, I'm old, kind and wise. :-)

On a more serious note, srbrubaker and tellhubbie has the right idea, pm that person and tell him what annoys you. Remember to address the behaviour, not the person. For example, don't tell me I'm a smartass, tell me what I said that offended you.

And sure, if you don't want to risk PM abuse, a possibility, just expose him on every open forum everytime he is a jerk. You will find most members will support you if support is justified. These people rock!
