Current Ignore gives you this:-

Seems OK to me, I used it once and looking at the above made me realise that the whole idea of not being able to just ignore a post was pretty stupid anyhow.

If the poster was breaking rules, harassing people (We'll leave Sam out of this one, he works under a completely different set of rules as yet unpublished ;)) they would get banned if not just don't read their post or use the above and be reminded that you have managed to get so worked up about a few words on an internet forum that you now can't even bear to see the posters name and just not read.
 
^^ whut atm said.

10 yrs + foruming and never ignored a poster before* [never reported a post either I don't think .. if i have it was so far back I've forgotten]

re: the ignore feature - i do remember someone from another forum pissing n moaning once because they'd put a poster on ignore, but could still see the ignored person's post if it was quoted by someone else ... once that got out, everybody obviously went down the 'quote the ignored' person route, therefore tripling the exposure of the person on ignore. was fun for a while until someone got banned for pushing the boundaries, which is almost inevitable in that kinda case [ie: single posts that had 40+ quotes in just to fuck with people] ..


* probably been put on ignore a number of times tho ;p

I just pulled an all nighter to get some tech stuffs and reformatting done. havent done this in forever. appointments and ferry folks around @ 9am. glad I'm not driving anywhere but local.

It wasn't you I put on ignore Marmz <3 I took the person off after seeing that page only twice and realising I'd gone off on one ...again for next to nothing.

Likin you style on the all night tech stuff, I fekin hate ferries though, back in the day, before the channel tunnel I used to have to go to Belgium allot, to a satellite earth station in the Ardennes I always used the hovercraft I could never stand all the waiting about with the ferry, but I guess it depends where your going, guess you have no choice.

Now all these years later I'm back and forth to Belgium again, I juts get the train to St, Pancras and then the Eurostar, it's got to be the most pleasant business journey I've ever had.

As Mr Leary would have said, have a good trip :D
 
It's simply a case of not wanting to be an arsehole to someone all the time but feeling as though it's necessary because their chat makes them deserve it. For example, on Facebook when this occurs you just delete the cunt, you then no longer have to see their pish chat & no longer end up taking the pish out them & feeling like a bit of an arsehole for doing it. On here I assumed the ignore function would do the same, but it doesn't quite. You know that their pish chat is only a click away & it's like a big red button that says "DON'T PUSH", you've just got push it.

Then you've just got to respond. If I could stop myself responding to shit as often as I'd like then I wouldn't have 12000 fucking posts lol.
 
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

you can't argue with Buddha !, I know where your coming from like I said I have the same problems myself, its a work in progress one day I'll be able to just ignore such things .......or not;)

Quality quote quoted for its quality %)

And this all starts with an awareness of the breath. Groovy fucking stuff!

I'm intrigued by the ignore chat...i've missed the drama.

That is a really great quote.
 
To the OP.........why do you want to know something that has an obvious answer?

To YPDH - stop trying to pretend you're the love child of Robert Maxwell and post something (one day, any day) that makes some sense.

You old softie, always too easy on these miscreants.

Never heard the Cap'n called Max nor serving the role of fantasy father before. But he paid his staff well and could inspire great loyalty. Alistair Campbell of later Blair gang fame famously socked a rival journo making light of Maxwell's demise. Any sane society would have provided the fat fuck with psychiatric help he obviously needed long before the pension fund debacle.

In my time, I've known people shafted by the Daily Mail ( two bottles of cider ), NOW (sorry, the fee quoted was dependent on a topless photo ), The Sunday Times ( we can only run the story after you surrender to police ), The Independent ( it's in the public interest ) and, of course, The Guardian ( liberal cant, don't pay plebs ). With a few notable, usually campaigning exceptions, newspaper journalists are generally dreadful gobshites. If you're looking for attention, youtube or the indies are far more democratic.

If you've been approached by the 4th estate, OP, insist on editorial control or at least the right to see and, if appropriate, change the resultant piece before it appears. Otherwise you'll almost certainly regret it.
 
I was there when the pension thing happened and at his death. Theres footage of me somewhere, emerging from Chancery Lane tube with a sausage bap, bleary eyed the morning he died, spitting it out in shock when a journo asked me to comment on his death.

His mistress worked on my floor. She ran HR.. Poor old dear worshipped him and him her. She was
devastated.

At the time i used to read the hiel lol..

Always wished i was bobbys girl... I had a thing about power.

nazi in me

I always remember the Mirror for its " Where is Howard Marks? " headline and suggestions of an abduction and mafia execution. Well suckered and just a little vengeful afterwards. This was before Cap'n Bob's time, you'd think he of all people would have seen the joke.
 
aye..

Actually, I originally got hired to work on The Sporting Life in their advertising dept. The guy that interviewed me was Charlie Wilson who had edited The Times before decamping to MGN... he was both the boss of Bill Bryson and ex of Anne Robertson :D.. Incestuous little world.

None of this meant anything to me at the time Charlie. I just enjoyed the cushy really well paid job I had landed.

Quite fancied charlie too ;)
