NEW FEATURE: Block interaction with ignored users

CougarBoard Sentient Forum

Love it!

"I'm shocked"

unctoothman

11/18/17 11:06am

How are you replying to my post? I must've screwed it up already

UberDeek

I was able to smiley it too, so #brokencode..

Bert609

More importantly, can we block Mods? 😎

CougarThug

How sad that this feature is (assumed) needed...

billyrust

11/18/17 11:03am

So basically half a safe space? I'm fine with not allowing people to reply

unctoothman

11/18/17 11:03am

Just keep it FO in that case, if you just can't help but reply to that comment

KingDave

11/18/17 11:06am

It's not an issue of "I can't help reply". It's an issue of 'hey, ______ made

unctoothman

11/18/17 11:08am

I think this feature is in place because certain people have a long history of unproductive communication

KingDave

11/18/17 11:12am

Bingo. unctoothman, you are suggesting that there is a lot more good faith in

dilbert

11/18/17 11:29am

If you have them ignored, how would you even know? Why do you care anyway?

macaroni

11/18/17 11:56am

What if you have a comment for the board related to the OP?

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 11:10am

I want to know who is actually going to be keeping track of ignores well enough

unctoothman

11/18/17 11:11am

The ignorer not seeing posts should be enough. Beyond weird that they worry about something being

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 11:16am

Usually, it will be fairly obvious that someone's attempting to skirt the block.

El Jefe

11/18/17 11:17am

For blatantly obvious or unkind responses, that seems fair. What I suspect

unctoothman

Despite Bernard dragging us down in IQ, collectively I think we can figure out when it's legit.

I believe some would classify that comment as internet bullying.

AndyDwyer

11/18/17 12:07pm

His opinion doesn't count.

El Jefe

11/18/17 1:40pm

Then keep it in FO. You can still continue a productive conversation with your FO.

KingDave

11/18/17 11:18am

“It’s up to you how many ignores you get”. I guess so? I mean if I never talk about

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 11:22am

It really isn't about what you say. It's about how you say it.

dilbert

11/18/17 11:35am

How do you come up with the conclusion that very, very few people

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 11:40am

There really is a lot more attitude beyond just disagreement

Breaded Hamster

11/18/17 2:42pm

You have a point. Some do as you say. I take dilbert as meaning that he himself

roseyscenario

11/18/17 5:12pm

Sorry for the slow reply--I saw your post just before I left for the game and

dilbert

11/18/17 5:24pm

I’m in the group that doesn’t see the need to ignore anyone. I honestly don’t understand the purpose.

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 6:23pm

Eliminates clutter. If i could prevent jerks from reading my posts, i'd block 50

roseyscenario

11/18/17 7:01pm

I disagree with almost everything you say but I have not ignored you. The ones

You are a really good example actually. You do disagree with almost everything I say which is fine. But from time to

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 3:45pm

I agree with what you are saying. Jefe said that this was not a cure all. It

shatter2

11/18/17 3:51pm

Oh I agree. I think it’s a fair compromise. I just think it’s too bad it’s necessary.

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 4:14pm

I actually do think that is what they want

JOPE

11/18/17 4:05pm

Somehow, ignoring someone only causes some to worry about what that person is

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 11:08am

We're not saying you can't participate in the discussion. That would be stupid.

El Jefe

11/18/17 11:15am

Just have to respond to another responder in the thread I imagine. It makes sense.

The Dude Abides

11/18/17 11:20am

Is this like when Newman decides to split the bike down the middle as some type

Better. Still not thrilled, but a reasonable compromise.

SoCalCoug

11/18/17 11:27am

I can still respond to you - so we're still good?

ClackamasCoug

11/18/17 11:30am

I don't understand what the last paragraph is talking about

Ulysses14

11/18/17 11:37am

Will it give you a notification or some other indication when someone adds you

benny1982

11/18/17 11:42am

It will notify you when you view their messages.

El Jefe

11/18/17 11:55am

Imo this will be a terrible feature. Part of what makes the board

Roko's Basilisk

11/18/17 12:13pm

Can’t wait for people to block everybody that gives them thumbs down!

TCuz

11/18/17 1:08pm

Best thing about this new feature? See who’s ignoring

Troy McClure

11/18/17 2:29pm

I'm slow but don't see how to execute feature on Ignore filter nor Manage Ignore

roseyscenario

11/18/17 2:36pm

If you have someone ignored you can go to “Manage Ignores” and

garyfan

11/18/17 3:33pm

Thanks.

roseyscenario

11/18/17 3:35pm

It's the same feature teams have been using with our offense this year.

Metallicat

11/18/17 3:23pm

This will lead to more ignores, because some people who want to see an

garyfan

11/18/17 3:36pm

You won't be able to see their posts if you've ignored them

El Jefe

11/18/17 3:45pm

I know. But I suspect that’s a price some will be willing to pay in order to

garyfan

11/18/17 3:51pm

Quick question. Sorry if it's been answered already. How will this affect

OneUpper

11/18/17 3:47pm

It will not.

El Jefe

11/18/17 3:51pm

Not directly. But perhaps indirectly if people ignore posters so they

garyfan

11/18/17 3:57pm

If they do use it their ignores will also carry less weight too. It'll be

OneUpper

11/18/17 4:00pm

Good point

garyfan

11/18/17 4:02pm

Good explanation. Sad to see that this happens on an anonymous sports board

BIG XII Coug

11/18/17 3:52pm

This feature is stupid

JOPE

11/18/17 3:57pm

I agree. I wish nobody thought it was necessary.

El Jefe

11/18/17 5:44pm

Yes! I'm going to block all the mods.

Byron McNertney

11/18/17 4:03pm

The ban hammer isn't included in the blocking, sorry...

El Jefe

11/18/17 5:45pm

Why require Poster A to ignore Poster B in order to block Poster B?

garyfan

11/18/17 4:06pm

I don't want it to be free.

El Jefe

11/18/17 4:32pm

That’s fair. I agree.

garyfan

11/18/17 8:09pm

I suppose there's still potential to abuse it

Northwest Cougar

The only thing I have ignored is byu lacrosse, because they spam the board. Will

This should make any reasonable person question why they participate on this board at all. It’s already embarrassing

messi

11/19/17 2:57pm

"It's similar to how Twitter works". Done.

Based on that I have no doubt you’ll....
