There are several people on this forum who are not necessarily part of the staff or notable contributing members whose opinion I value or am interested in more than others...
So I think it would be a nice feature if let's say the users I add to my buddys list will be highlighted/bolded/different color or w/e when they post in a thread.
I'd like to be able to scroll through a 30 page thread and just check out the important/interesting posts for me.

On that note, an ignore list would be nice too.

Of course these are not an absolute necessity but I feel they'd be a useful small improvement.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

I think this is a great idea. Instead of having staff decide who is a quality poster or not, why not make it based on the personal view and subjectivity of the reader.

I entirely agree with this and it'd give use to the friend's list.

Additionally, we need an ignore list.

Having buddies show up differently on the forum seems like an ok idea but I really don't see an ignore list happening on tl. It would create a lot more work for moderation since people would post stuff ignorant of what has been said in a given thread already.

LMAO! Well played sir.

I however would LOVE to see the buddy list have a purpose however, seems like a lot of wasted potential.

GG. Yeah, this is pretty similar to Ignore on IRC, which is similarly useless, especially on a forum where actual conversation is encouraged. I'd be interested in the buddy-highlight as well, though.

Yeah that's very true. I think people can either selectively just not read posts by particular people and suffer the consequences, or admit we're all sadists and actually enjoy reading what people we hate write if only to look for an opportunity to smite them.

I'm a big supporter of the buddy list having more functionality some how though.

Omg, would be a dream come true. I'm sure i'd end up on a couple of ignore lists as well but all the better - i'm a wet liberal, communist gayloving bastard destined to burn in Satans hell either way, let's spare the enlightened from my garbage.

an ignore list has been brought up before, and discarded. there are too many issues with people posting shit that is misinformed or missing information because they have the someone who posted something important in the thread on their ignore list.

genuinely shitty posters get banned, so the only use for the ignore list is personal grudges and disputes.

edit: lol just read micro and mango's posts. that pretty much sums up why ignore list is a dumb idea

Step 1) Add ignore list
Step 2) Add entire writing staff to ignore list

What then?

I guess I like the idea of the buddy list having a real function, but honestly I just go by icon/post count -.-;;;

The Buddy list is really useful imo. When I was Co-Editor of Pony Express, oh man did that buddy list help. It still serves a purpose for me as well. Most of the people I speak to outside of TL or on TL are on that list and I generally just look for their name and voila, instant PM.

Why are some posts colored in a darker/different shade of blue than the regular post?

It means it's a featured poster in the strategy section.... unless you mean how administrators have a dark blue bar over their posts... which is obviously because they are administrators.

Ah I see, that was it (featured poster), thank you.

So people basically want highlighting like that for the "buddy list".

CTStalker closed the other thread and refered me to this one via PM, so I'll post here.

I'll make it quick; the general consensus among the staff seems to be that we'll probably never see an ignore feature on TL; so be it. I'd like to see it, though, and I want to make my voice heard regardless of how little impact it may have.

To all of you who are defending the movie - have you guys tried Twilight? You'd probably enjoy it.


This is a post from the Hunger Games discussion on the general board. Reported for trolling, yet no moderation action; apparently the user isn't disrupting enough. Alright. So what do I do with this? Sure, in a perfect world, I'd just gracefully ignore him. But I can't. I loathe people like that, and I have to keep my twitching fingers from furiously typing a reply every time I open the thread. He's not unique, and his kind isn't exactly rare either on the forums.

An ignore function would bring peace of mind for those of us plagued by trolls and deprive them of the attention they crave. And regarding the argument that "ignored" contributions would inevitably disrupt discussions and lead to chaos and more mod work - this happens all the time in larger discussions, where people will easily miss vital posts and talk on for pages as if they hadn't happened, yet I don't see pages drenched in red or mods collapsing from working overtime on the sidelines.

My two cents.

So I was going to make a new thread about an ignore function, but searched and found this one and a few others instead.

There are a few posters I've noticed who just constantly negative, whiny rubbish that's not necessarily against the rules and going to get removed/warnings; it would be great to be able to have an ignore feature so we don't even have to scan these people's adolescent angst put to text.

So consider this another TLer in favour of an ignore feature, it would probably also help the quality of content as instead of pointless arguments littering threads people could just ignore instead.

Take the Boston thread as an example, anyone scanning through looking for new information/news has put up with a lot of tangental speculation and fighting popping up on a sensitive subject that could be mitigated by muting a few posters. Less work for mods, better content for users.

I know it might take some work to implement but please consider it.

While there are some decent arguments in favor I think if you read the rest of the posts in this thread its pretty clear that there are some logistical issues that mean it simply won't work. Legitimately bad posters will be banned anyway and for everyone else you'll just have to live with differing opinions. Sorry to sound blunt but it seems like this debate has already happened and concluded (twice actually).

Well you know what they say 3rd times a charm!

In all seriousness though I can see why it would be annoying because of threads where someone you don't like says something which you obviously don't see so you post something without knowing it got said already or w/e.

I would like it but I can see why TL doesn't have one.
When I think of something else, something will go here

fwiw, there are some greesemonkey scripts that enable this kind of functionality if you are good enough at searching to find them!

Don't know if it still works but:

Use of the Script:
This script will add a simple "Ignore User" link at the bottom of every post. If you ignore a user, their posts and quotes will be collapsed. The script allows you to expand quotes or posts on a case-by-case basis. Ignored posts collapse everything except for online status, access rank, and the username.

What this is about is control. The moderators and administrators want that control and offering you an ignore feature gives you some of that control.

It's not hard to do I post on 4 forums for my favorite sports teams and all 4 have an ignore feature and have had it for a decade in some cases. The reasons you might ignore somebody are your own. You might not like their opinions. They might be too argumentative. They might just be a jerk. Who cares? You will know they posted something but you will only see what they wrote if you desire to.
