How to Place Users on Ignore?

Recommended Posts

Guest forsearch

Mods,

How do I place users or their posts on ignore at TL?

 

Many forums have this function; could a mod chime in and advise how it is done at TL?

 

I'm tired of abusive posts and private messages from one frustrated poster in particular.

 

Thanks,

1) Click on their name

2) View their "Public Profile"

3) In upper left corner click "User Lists"

4) Choose "Add to Ignore List"

 

There may be a quicker way.

Thanks HLM!

 

This seems to work quite well for regular users.

 

Problem is I now get this error message when I try to block this one person:

 

Sorry ***** is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her

 

Guess they must be a part-time mod of a forum sub-section or something....

 

Could James or a full-time mod could advise further?

Actually I think that it should be ok to put mods on ignore. If they are active posters, James, they can post as much tripe as anyone - and their biases can be even stronger. If you're ignoring someone so that you don't get irritated into a fight it would seem even more important to do that with a moderator.

 

You'll notice if they delete or edit your posts even when you don't see their posts.

 

FWIW :)

MC,

The issue has been stated.

 

Thanks, Kiwi for cogently explaining a good reason why.

 

Just need to know if there is a way to enable this option, ASAP.

Not as a moderator, we have no board setting access. James will have to be involved on this if there is even anything he can do.

 

I run a vbulletin board and I'm 99.9% sure you cannot ignore admins/mods no matter what. The only thing that could be done is to revoke that persons mod status so you could ignore them.

 

NOTE that even ignored peoples posts will show up if quoted.

I guess that's something that James will have to decide based on the merits of the situation.

 

But I'd rather ignore them than complain and whine about their behavior; you full-time mods and James have better things to worry about than some part-timer mod stuck on silly.

I disagree with this, as mods we represent the community and our actions reflect on James and TL. I mean, sure everyone has their opinions but there's certainly a clear line where things become unprofessional and should be dealt with.

 

If someone is PM'ing you to continue to beef or cause drama that has to be dealt with. I don't knowfor TL as I see it and it would be like me getting in a pissing ma the background but mods should be held to a higher standard IMO. Mods in a way work tch with a customer here at work. It just can't happen, the mod can put you on ignore or better yet just step aside and drop it.

 

Again, I have no idea of the background here either.

As a former supermod over at T2W I only half agree with you mcichocki (there must be a story to go with that name?).

 

A supermod should be held to a special standard of behaviour.

 

But to promote discussion and/or information it is not a bad thing to create special forums. In those special forums the mod isn't there to uphold the standards of the site but to promote the specialness of the forum by filtering. You could argue that they should do both ---- but we are humans and being a fantastic trader or knowing something special doesn't imply good qualities for a supermod.

 

One could say that forsearch should stay out of those forums but maybe the boards systems apply the "can't ignore the mod" rule in all forums even though they are not a mod there.

 

So, I second forsearch and suggest that either:

- we can ignore mini-mods; or

- we can innore all mods if the first can't be achieved.

 

To be honest I think we should be able to ignore anyone. In fact I'm just going to add someone to my list (not in this discussion).

Damnation and blast it!

 

The person I added (because I don't particularly like them and think their posts are too frequent and in my opinion sometimes foolish) is in the category:

 

Sorry the_irritating_person is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.

 

They don't show as a moderator.

 

By way of contrast I checked and I could ignore forsearch if I wanted to but I don't.

There is no way for the system to add a moderator to the ignore list. I do not want to customize this and enable it as communication between members is a must. If there is a problem with any of the mods, just pm me and I will try to think of a solution. Thanks

Guess I'm not the only one who feels a certain irritating_person on TL is a PITA, but I can't ignore them.

 

Anyway, whether they should be moderating on this site is not my call, nor is it the focus of my support ticket.

 

And contrary to that irritating_person's opinion, I could really care less about them - hence the desire to place them on ignore.

LOL James, filtered communications is good (I don't listen to the prime minister or that silly woman on Channel 7 and my life is better for both). Hopefully its an easy fix.

 

I solved the problem last time by simply leaving the site for a couple of years.

 

It seems a little early to repeat that so they're currently on my "mental ignore" but like "mental stops" they just are not quite as good.

I hear ya Kiwi - avoiding the Krudd is difficult (baby kisser extraordinaire) but well worth it.

Kiwi,

 

I'm with you. Unfortunately I've gotten several unacceptable PMs as well, so it's long since crossed the line of merely irritating, you know?

 

Still, at the end of the day, it's James' board to manage as he sees fit. If letting one of his quasi-mods act up is OK by him, then so be it.

 

But I should have the ability to ignore them without leaving the board altogether.

 

I thought TL was above this ET crap, but I've been wrong before too.

 

Shame...

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
