could u make an option to squelch someone so you dont see their posts? for example i could go to my tl.net and squelch options and add someone to list, now i dont see their posts anymore?

you could also make it possible for admins to view the "top squelched users" list. i am not going to name any names but i think this feature would help a great deal.

hm now that i think of it,i don't think i'd squelch anyone.would be a pain in the ass if someone replies a squelched post and you don't know what they're talking about.

Well, other people's posts might come across as strange sometimes without the context of the message you squelched. But, if you used that feature, you'd just have to keep that in mind. And rather than having their post just not show entirely, we could still list it with it's body being " ---- Squelched! ---- " similar to when someone's account gets Nuked.

I can see why some people might want that feature, but really, if someone's posts are unanimously considered bad, they usually get banned.

Anyway, what do you think Meat? Gogo?

I wouldn't do it. I'm on Saro's side about the whole thing.
Squelch option would be weak, imo.
But then again, I'm not in charge !

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Ignoring people just because you don't like them is a bit childish in my opinion, except on B.Net when it's just a bunch of morons spamming xDDDDDDDD or whatever

i would definitely use it. despite that they haven't been banned yet, i know 100% some people's posts i will never need to see. pm me if you want an example.

furthermore, this feature would let admins see just how many people feel this way about each user, if they wanted to see. it would give the admins more support in considering any decision.

This forum should be mannered and enjoyable enough not to need the squelch option. I think squelching posters goes a little bit against the whole community idea

just accept it. you're childish if you need this option.

it wasn't a bad idea, but it wasn't a good one either.

! move on !

If you're incapable of ignoring what someone says on a message board.. On the internet..

Well then I suppose that's your problem. Squelch seems stupid

yup i will not add that, it doesnt make sense in a discussion forum. in a bnet channel its different, because someone can spam alot etc and not get banned.

Now i could consider something like a button "I would like this user banned" that forum regulars have and if someone has 10+ votes or whatever that we take a special look at that user. However i have doubts about this too, i think it's only to weed out the new users that come here to fuck around and admins dont see immidiatly.

Hahaha, I love your reasoning. Every time someone has an idea it's just, "Bad idea. Don't do it." Awesome.

I don't like the idea, either, but I can see why some people might want it.

i just found out that 3 people i would have squelched were all blackjack anyways.

every once in a while you see people on irc who pretend they can mentally block out everything they dont care to see, they refuse to use /ignore. they are in the minority, of course :| they like to look down on people who use /ignore, too. i guess that's one of the perks of having super powers is that you get to blame everyone else for not having them; you can call them childish, for instance.

and u think it doesnt apply to msg boards? i dont know about you but ive read a post before and not realized who wrote it until getting a ways into it and then going "wtf, this is shit", i look at who posted it, and sure enough, i shoulda checked the name. it's a mistake i make, now and then, and it would be nice if there was a feature to help me decrease this. sometimes i just know i'm better off if i never see some people's posts ever again, it's for the best, and the best way to let me do this is with some forum option. sure, "in theory", with rekrul/fakesteve-like super powers, i can magically not respond to anything written by certain people, but now and then, it just doesn't work out that way. calling me childish might give u the moral high ground but it doesnt help me any less to be tempted to respond to the consistently horrible posts by certain people
