cybercoma Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Can we get a functioning ignore feature in the Chat module? I'm sick of Merlin going on and on and on and on and on and on about how (s)he's disabled and the Muslim tide is coming to the Western world and we're all going to be slaughtered because they're a violent, uncivilized, degenerate race and (s)he's really scared because the music they play in their Mosques is scary and did I mention (s)he's disabled because (s)he's disabled you know. Thanks in advance. Quote "Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions." --Thomas Jefferson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonam Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Agreed. A functionality to ignore people in the chat room, not only in forum threads, would be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yes, I agree, can this please be looked into and perhaps implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewTeddy Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I support this. People were in chat the other day claiming insanity (That parties that they disagree with have 0 good policies. Every party - from Communist to Nazi to Libertarian to Anarchist - registered or otherwise has at least 1 good idea, even if only at it's core) and I'd like to have the ability to ignore them as well. edit Examples: Britain's nazi-like BNP wants to help war Vets. Russia's Communist Party wants anti-corruption laws. US Libertarians want a legal system that is easier to understand. Most Anarchists, worldwide, oppose assault, and support security to stop it. Unless you are Anti-Vet, Pro-Corruption, support writing laws people can't understand, and do not care about assault - then you accept - whether you know it or not - that all parties have at least 1 good idea.

The_Squid Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Good suggestion Cyber. That was extremely annoying this evening.

Guest Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I can ignore people without using an ignore button, just like I can take an insult without using a report button. And as for trolling, it's every third post on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just avoid the chat room altogether. It's better that way. Quote Google : Webster Griffin Tarpley, Gerald Celente, Max Keiser ohm on soundcloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then don't use it, but that shouldn't stop others from having the option to turn off the background noise.

Cybercoma, you just dislike it that I have the ability to take over the room and control the conversation as I see fit. people take notice and respond to me, that isn't my fault. If I was saying such interesting things perhaps they wouldn't chat with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlling the conversation at will is also not what it is there for either. I don't do it on purpose it just so happens that what I talk about is very interesting to people. It must be or they wouldn't respond to me at all. Bonam barely ever engages me in the chat room, he has it mastered. I think he is tired of talking about the Islamist situation.

The_Squid Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 being an admitted troll and intentionally disruptive in the chat feature is probably not the wisest move...

Merlin Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 being an admitted troll and intentionally disruptive in the chat feature is probably not the wisest move... I am not admitting to being a troll at all nor am I disruptive. It's not my fault that people in chat find what I am talking ab out more interesting than other topics. if no one thought my topics were interesting they wouldn't respond. If you feel that my chat is breaking the rules simply cut and paste and email it to the moderator team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 People find what you're saying so interesting that they constantly tell you to shut up because they're sick of your gimmick.

jbg Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 being an admitted troll and intentionally disruptive in the chat feature is probably not the wisest move... Trolling is in the eye of the beholder. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewTeddy Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Trolling is in the eye of the beholder. That is true, but this definition has limits.If one is told by many others, many times, to stop doing a specific thing, because said specific thing is trolling - then that one decides to continue doing it - that is trolling by all definitions.

Merlin Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Having a conversation and stating my opinion isn't trolling. Just because some people don't agree with what I am saying doesn't make that trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some people don't agree with what I am saying doesn't make that trolling. Your talking points so far have been..... - I am disabled. - I am scared of Muslims.
