OK people enough of you have voiced your opinion about an ignore feature and now you have one...

Go to your profile and look on the left side menu in the Modify Profile section you will find a new option [Ignore user options]

Just add the members you want to ignore and then forget they are members... ahhhh I can see it now.... a peaceful GBO again.... ahhhh

If the person doing the ignoring is the ignorer does that make the person being ignored ignorant?

Dee · « **Reply #3 on:** November 10, 2008, 02:11:11 AM »

Matt, the only thing that could make this better, is that their quotes when other posters use them, would disappear also. Thanks, an awsome addition.
Dee,

Now I'll probably be the only one seeing the posts of some folks on here since I feel it necessary to be able to see all posts made no matter by whom.

myronman3 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 10, 2008, 02:43:17 AM »

nope. i will be seeing them as well.

slim rem 7 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 10, 2008, 03:21:18 AM »

no i ll be seeing them myself..to ignore implies total unacceptance,,
of a person.. ive found that to be a flawed position in my experience..
for me diversity.. acceptance of those different than ones self is the very essence of what this country is all about.. also sounds very boring ,and possibly even carrying a dangerous seed to me..
i can just think of some exstremes.. would jew hear what islam had to say and vice versa.. would socialist here what conservatives have to say ,an vice versa.. black versus white . rural verses city dwellers..
in other words toleration of differences is not encouraged.. having said that ,i do think it should be each persons right to choose ,,an it is on this forum..

Yep! That's the price of making those big buck GB.

I appreciate Matt putting such a feature in. There are some I simply do not want to read. In my area of life they have nothing to offer. I am sure some feel the same about me, but that's life.

Yup I think 500 folks added you in the first 24 hours.

What's the point of a forum discussion if you are going to pay attention to just bits and pieces of the discussion? I too will be reading all the posts...

45-70.gov · « **Reply #13 on:** November 10, 2008, 07:35:52 AM »

i will not use it [probly]

i would hope that some one pm me and explain their gripe with me first

i know i have a different point of view than most and am misunderstood

but if they just choose to ignore me it is good they have that option

i have learned more here form the people that i disagree with

will we know if we are ignored?? i am sure i will know soon enough

quickdtoo · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2008, 09:05:25 AM »

I'd like to use it, but as Bill stated, it's not really appropriate for moderators/admins, but as Matt said, it should help keep the peace.

I like to debate too much to ignore too many people. I like the fact that you can ignore someone but it shows you that they have posted anyway, so if you choose to you can view that post. Neat feature. Great job Matt!

Thank you.

Heather

slim rem 7 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2008, 10:12:52 AM »

iwould agree. don t like to debate ,but people too are interesting to ignore..still i agree it really is probably wise for the folks that allow

folks that differ withum ,,to bother them too much..
takes all kinds tho.. heck somedays i dont want to talk to nobody..
especially if brother arthur is hurtin me pretty bad..

Troyboy · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2008, 11:59:23 AM »

Thank you for the consideration but i for one will read all posts. I will rather talk to everyone than put my head in the sand and go La La La La LA

Those who voted to destroy freedom are muttonheads

I considered using the ignore feature, for a moment, but I am interested in reading all posts, even if I strongly disagree with that person, for it is still interesting.

Lotsa folks been saying they wish there was an IGNORE feature. Now there is. Iffen there is someone who's posts you REALLY don't wanna see now you don't have to.

maybe so but you cant ignore admins and mods...

WylieKy · « **Reply #25 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:45:51 AM »

Sorry. It was a lame attempt at humor... I guess it is a good option for some, but I like to hear the other side... Otherwise I would just sit in a room and listen to myself.. $:-\$

Sounds like a mile-or-more bird thing , can't hear it don't have to deal with it !

45-70.gov · « **Reply #27 on:** November 12, 2008, 06:29:35 AM »

maybe it's working
maybe we are recovering from the election stresses

but people seem more civil

i do enjoy reading the feuds going on here
but never thought anyone took it serious [except swampman in that ar-15 thread]
