The SC certainly doesn't have the time or the interest to seek out situations where they can play babysitter - they are forced to by the childish actions of a number of users who continue to ruin the site for everyone else because they can't just grow up and deal with the fact that in the world, there are going to be people you don't like and who don't like you and life just has to go on without the whining and attacking and childishness. The behavior of quite a few people on this site is absolutely appalling. |
Yes, and with your last sentence I totally agree.

Sorry, I've been reading along here and found it so amusing (or maybe just a little sad) that there are people that have been told they can't talk to eachother here. When I first read it, I thought it was a joke.... but reading further to some of the SC's comments here it sounds like it really happens. That's really crazy, don't envy you guys at all having to deal with silly things like that. Preschool and Kindergarten do spring to mind when you think of situations like that... the visuals give me a good chuckle, finger shaking and being sent to the corner and all that.
Apparently, there is such a thing as an "Online Restraintment order". Wow, whoulda thunk it! :)
And I'll end this with screams from the back seat, "He's touching me again!!!", "No, I'm not!!", "Yes, he is!! Make him stop!!!" LOL, kids....

Actually, I think this is a good website suggestion --- Under "contacts" you should separate yourselves, instead of having you all get the same ticket for a certain circumstance. Why don't you list one block to be checked and have it say "for contact on personal arguments that you feel need addressed between you and one other user". Then you won't all feel so bogged down with the same "high school" crap, and you could maybe all split it up. One council one month, one council another month, etc. Because if you think saying "I wish you would all just behave" is going to solve anything? It won't. It's an age old saying and an age old cliche`. BUT to ignore it as a whole? That also doesn't work, and it actually hurts the stance of the site itself. Because I KNOW when I am asked to report something or ticket something rather than deal with it publicly, and then when I do it goes completely ignored? That, to me, is just rude, and believe it or not, some of us DO have REAL issues that aren't meant for a lecture to 1st graders. So maybe if only one council had to deal with those at a time, then it wouldn't be such an overall oppression and it may even actually get dealt with in a constructive way.

I'm all for an "ignore" button. They're not a problem on other sites and not a problem in chat rooms. In the past when I've had to use one (chatroom) I only had to have it on for a little awhile....because when several people put a particular person on ignore the person will just go away because they have 'finally figured' out that they're not liked/wanted.
Unfortunately...these type of people (99% of the time) are impossible to have an adult conversation with. In my experience they're either extremely volatile (jump to conclusions, freak out, become abusive, because they can't figure out (or choose not to) how to communitcate with someone online) or the opposite...become extremely immature by following the person they know they're annoying and posting in every single single forum/chatroom that person is in...just to be a sh*thead but with the faked innocence of they didn't know what they were doing. (i.e. jenesis's example with kids)
I think an ignore button would be a good tool.....it's only confusing if you're a newbie to forums/chatrooms....but if they have 1/2 a brain they figure it out real quick :)
It could always be a 'trial' thing.....or (if it hasn't been done already) have a vote to see how the people/members feel about it to get an approximate idea of who would want it or not. Not that it's a democracy but I think the statistics would be interesting. (however, I may be inclined to slip langdon/drew a dollar for this code :)

mk uses an adblocker plugin for Firefox, or at least she says she does :-) |
I do indeed. I use the this extension (and an additional extension for it but only at home). When you come across images that you don't want to see anymore, you simply right click and select "block image." Works like a charm. |
does that work only for images or can you select text as well? And....the only pain in the butt I have about firefox is that it doesn't automatically refresh when I come back to a page I've visited before. (or I could be too damn dumb to find it! :)

What if they used it ON Langdon??? BAWAAHAHAHH. But I think your suggestion is actually good. A trial period to see how it goes may be the best suggestion yet! And it is true. Unfortuately, a lot of what is taken badly in forum wasn't meant that way. In cyberspace, there is no facial expression or hand movements, etc, to convey your message in the same way you would had you been in person. I think a lot of times posts are just misconstrued. I have had this happen to me, and believe me, with some people there is just no way of explaining what you really meant. They will just take it as fowl and that is that. LOL...So maybe a trial period is a good idea actually. It would be interesting.

Sometimes people just don't click...IRL and/or online....which is normal.
But let's just say, for "example and in PM/email",
I said, "Rose, I don't like you. Please leave me alone and don't post in forums I am actively participating in".
Would you say, "Okay, I understand what you're saying. I may not like it, but I respect it....so I will try to do as you wish."
(mind you this is hypothetical...and obviously the forums are open to all people and this wouldn't be for every single itty bitty forum that is posted....but I'm talking in a general, polite way.)
PS to add: I'm not being ugly....just posting a hypothetical situation guys :)

I have a better idea. I want a "vote off the site" button. Every time you're extra annoying, people can click the button. When you have enough votes, you're automatically booted. Hasta pasta!

Some sites have something like this. It's called a karma rating or something. People rate you on how useful/worthless you are, and I'm sure they have the option of booting the people who score low. |

ya know what....that may be an idea! Someone mentioned (somewhere in here) that on another site you can see, number-wise, how many you have on ignore and how many have you on ignore....one would think that would be an eyeopener to the ignoree (is that even a word?).
