Your not forced to do anything, you don't have to respond to anyone. But "shunning" them from the forums is a tad extreme.
But is it really? It's simply blocking someone from their experience on Bungie.net. If someone wanted to block me, they should have the right to do so.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

As for people changing, sure, and maybe the person who blocked you will change too and give you a second shot.


I doubt that and they also would never know that you changed. They would never see you again and forget about you. :/

Ignore feature? Ignoring someone in its definition is simply voluntarily not taking notice of your opposition's actions to relieve yourself of problems.

While this would do the latter, is there any need for the former? Taking notice is a personal choice as it is. Either clicking an ignore button of choosing to self ignore is a result of willpower.

Would this feature be cool? Sure! Would it be practical? Perhaps. Would it be imperative? Negative.

But then some people will probably just ignore users they don't like whether or not they broke the rules.
Why exactly is this a bad thing? They're still going to ignore the person anyway. They could go to another thread, another forum, site, or turn their computer off. The only difference is that the content is gone from their view and hence, the user's experience is enhanced.


Yeah have 90% of the forum ignore you and see how the experience is "enhanced for the person being ignored who doesn't break the rules.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I am all for it. I would like it to be where the users post is collapsed and still viewable if wanted.

An ignore system would work great!

I feel this would kill discussions and fragment the community.
Thats a possibility, thats why I think having it ignore them for a limited time would work best, maybe a day or a week to a month. Though still in other topics the person could have a valid argument or post and it would get ignored and could fill threads with similar post if everyone has each other ignored and don't think anyone has replied with a similar post.

To me it just sounds like your argument is based on the fact that you're afraid that you won't be noticed by everyone.

Why is it a bad thing that asshats will chose to ignore someone for "no reason"? They were going to anyway so there was going to be no discussion anyway. Hell it may even curb the flaming that occurs here when users can't play nice.

If I can find it, making things collapsible was what I purposed in my original thread about this.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

I would much like a collapse feature.

See that down arrow all the way to the right of my title bar?

It could use an up arrow next to it that gave the options to report the post, to collapse just the post you click on, or all posts by this user.

And then they'd just look like an automatically-collapsed post, except with a name on it somewhere. The report option would not collapse the post- those functions should be kept separate.


The primary reason for its placement on the title bar is so that you don't have to scroll all the way down the wall of "JOHNCENA" copy-pasted to block it.
I really like this idea.

Would only work if the feature ignored people who quoted an ignored user too.

Edit: I just think it would be pointless to see a bunch of quotes and replies to a user you've chosen to ignore. I would presonally not use the feature.

You're describing a manner in which if one person ignores a user, the entire community follows. You shouldn't expect that.

Once again, they should have that right to ignore anyone, regardless if whether or not they're "break[ing] the rules." The experience would be enhanced for the blocker, not the one getting ignored.

Are some of you against this soley because a deep seeded fear that people will ignore you? Is it because you are afraid that maybe just maybe you are not as cool and likeable as you think you are?

If that is the case then I feel sorry for you.

Quoting.

This isn't reddit, the point of this place is not to show you THE MOST RELEVANT or THE MOST POPULAR or whatever other metric you feel should determine what you're viewing. This is a forum. Ignore features invariably end up fragmenting the discussion and dragging the place kicking and screaming into posts and counter-posts about who has more people ignored.

If someone is disruptive/annoying/stupid enough to warrant being ignored, chances are they should've been banned long ago.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

No, you can ignore them without having an "ignore feature."

This feature seems highly necessary. I can't count the amount of times I've wished for this.

The sooner this gets approved, the better.

I am afraid that people will use this feature for all the wrong reasons, our community would be divided, isolated, and if many people block each other out, how can we have any good discussions?

I'm in support of a feature like this, and have been for quite a while, even before starting to moderate. See, I noticed that there were users who cluttered up the forum by constantly posting the same mindless drivel, but there wasn't anything I could do about it except do my best to ignore it, which is sometimes difficult when it's so prevalent.

I think people need to learn self control. If you see a thread by a user you don't like, don't post in it. I think it is simple.

But if you are in a discussion thread and you are blocked from users yet have valid points, your points go ignored and participation in threads becomes less and less fun. :/

I know that some people want this to target certain users (like myself apparently seeing that thread). And let me tell you, if a ton of people blocked me and my threads kept getting no replies and I wasn't acknowledged on the forums, I would start hating Bungie.net.
There are people on here who annoy me so much and have shown that they generally lack to write anything I care about at all that I'd be willing to take the risk.

On second thoughts, i agree with what elmicker has said.

I think it would do more harm then good for discussions.

  • 12.11.2011 5:16 PM PDT

The arguments against something like this are weak. The arguments for it are extremely sturdy.

I would love to be able to ignore people on this forum. For every 1 person who is upset because nobody listens to them anymore...there are 25,000 people happy that they don't have to see the same crap rehashed a million times over.

Let me ask you this? Would you want to be on a forum where almost everyone ignored you and you can't participate anymore?

  • 12.11.2011 5:19 PM PDT

I wouldn't mind it, though I just find myself ignoring them anyways. I could see where it could harm some discussion. But besides that, I'm all for it.
