How To Ignore Specific Users

[Serk]

This was posted by Bama Red in another thread, but I was thinking it kinda deserved it's own thread...

If you wish to have all posts by any particular user or users ignored, here are the steps:

Click on Profile up near the top, then on the left under "Modify Profile" click "Personal Message Options"

On that screen there is the option for an "Ingorelist".

Enter the username(s) of any users you wish to ignore here, one name per line, then click the "Change Profile" button at the bottom of that screen, and voila, any posts from those users will be replaced with:

You are ignoring this user. Show me the post.

If you click the "Show me the post." it will go ahead and show you the post anyway if you really wanna see it, but by default that user's posts will now be hidden from you.

(I haven't tested, but I believe if someone quotes the ignored person's post, you'll still see it.)

Not gonna argue if ignoring someone or someones is the right thing to do, just making sure those who wish to avail themselves of this feature know how to do so.

As long as you dont lose arguments with yourself,,,,,,,,,,,, NOT INSANE.
Not influenced by other opinions and no room to grow. I dont always agree with some here but I read their posts and value the opinions spewed herein. I'll agree there are times I gloss over ones when the subject matter isnt poignant,but, I value the input.
Heck, sometimes I'M the idiot.

Done, thanks Serk

[KY,Dave (AKA Misunderstood)]

  Actually is that just for "personal Messages" or the board as well ?? Scratch that, Got it ! 

[DarkMeister]

  Most excellent! Now I've put everyone else on ignore and only read my own posts. Being a Gemini, I still get a couple of different points of view on issues. This way I'm happy, in a petulant, pouty sort of way (though it's hard to type with arms crossed while glaring at the screen).

[R J]

Done, thanks Serk

I'm sorry Wayne & Mark, I won't do it again, I promise.   

It is Twila, not Sheila.

[SANDMAN5]

Yep, I've done already used it!!!! Works GREAT!!! YEEE-HAAAA!!

[Scott in Ok]

I actually added a MOD to make this work as it does now.  Originally, it only worked for PM's, but I made the changes to make it for posts also. 

Hmm, I suppose I forgot to post about that....thanks for making a thread about it Serk.

[Valker]

Thanks, Scott. It's a feature I already love.

[BigAl]

I have now ignored everyone on here.

I will have the board to myself as like a personal reminder list.

Thanks works great.

[Willow]

Bumped.

For ignore instructions, read the original post in this thread.

[BF]

Did somebody say something?  I think there's an echo in here here here here.....

[BigAl]

Ignoring is just a blind for ambush in the future.

You can change the channel can't you.

[Hoser]

The only posts I ignore are my own!     Hoser

junior... please put me on your ignore list... it would make me very happy.

Bumping this back to the top due to some recent PMS issues someone seems to be having lately, this might be useful information to have again...

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

Thank you very much for putting this back to page 1....I now have one member of the "Ingorelist".I can't see anything he post's .... SWEET
Very nice feature

Heck, sometimes I'M the idiot.

No, no that's me sometimes. 

It's the ones who think they aren't who tend to be the biggest offenders

[John Schmidt]

I get the feeling that most of Washington D.C. has enabled such a feature. Blocking/ignoring everything from their constituents.

I'm gonna take a "wild stab" here and say that he "probably" won't see your post.

Bumping back up to the top, it's been a while and some people might not know this feature is available or how to avail themselves of it.

[Big Ed]

That's a great feature...!!!

Thanks for re-posting it...!!!

[Serk]

Re-bumping this to the top for those who wish to avail themselves of this feature...

(Kinda sad re-reading this post how many are no longer with us.....  )

[Oss]

RJ gone
Wayne gone
BF gone
Wiggy gone    3 to cancer and RJ to just wearing out after a full life lived on his terms

Really miss speaking with RJ  he was the real deal

Hoser hope he is ok, havent heard from him in ages

Jr, clark, x, big al,  I dont feel the loss

Never ignored any of them, but did scratch my head a lot at what came out of their typing

Thanks Serk for posting the link, maybe someday I will need to use it

You don't need a forum app to ignore some user(s). 

All you need is a little self discipline.

Take a deep breath, then click the mouse (moving on).  And voila.   

[Earl43P]

Big fan of this feature.


I now add users to Ignore that quote ignored users.... double win!

[baldo]

Good to know....

Thanks.

[Wizzard]

Why be on a forum in the first place if you have to ignore people.
Just get a thicker skin. 

[Serk]

And with the current vitriol and baiting being slung around, figured this would be a good time to bring this thread back to page 1.....

.....and once again notice how many good people are no longer with us. 

[MAD6Gun]

Done, thanks Serk

I'm sorry Wayne & Mark, I won't do it again, I promise.   

It is Twila, not Sheila.

That's funny. The first time RJ talked to my wife Twila he called her Sheila....lol. I miss that old coot. My dad too....

[old2soon]

Yeah-I KNOW what ya mean. R J and Wayne two really Neat individuals. Was fortunate enough to meet both of them in their own casa's. I M H O both of em TRULY irreplaceable. Both of you R I P. Others have The Watch Now. You may stand down. RIDE SAFE.

Tried it...but I still see your posts 

In all seriousness, it's pretty easy to just not open certain posts in the first place....they or the poster are pretty obvious. I could care less that certain members choose to engage in the "pleasantries" you describe above...whatever floats their boat. Still lots of decent discussions on here to keep me interested in hanging around

Now everyone can talk about ya and ya won't even know it.....ha
