LOL BUT THAT'S NOT OUR DECISION

None of us, not one, can go "herpderp lolz u dersirvd it". Not our place.

Who's to say it isn't? It certainly isn't your place to decide that we can't say that.

lolyeah let's ignore the topic at hand and point out flaws in my already--blam!- analogy.

I would like to know how this feature is not indicative of lack of self-control and/or disappointing immaturity. I'm rather optimistic; I'll listen.

It's not the flaws in your analogy that I was going after, it was the flaw in the argument about being shut out by the community.
There's no way that enough of the community would shut you out so that you couldn't create a thread or participate in a discussion, if it did happen then you probably deserved it.


Even if he dosen't deserve it, it's the community's choice if we don't want to talk to him.

Ignoring the 16 pages of quality, well-typed discussion: shouldn't it be us to tolerate those who annoy?
That would make sense. But if you haven't discovered it for yourself yet, tolerating others does not seem to be the strong point of those on Bungie.net.

Here, however, where this is a gathering place for the Bungie Community, everyone should have a fair say in everything.


And what happens to a person when the community shuns them in real life? Are the members forced to hang out with that person every day just because, "Hey...he is part of this community! You better listen!"

No.


As to that script. This is the first time I have seen that. Pretty harsh, but hey, if it already exists then why not allow Ken the satisfaction of reciprocation?

Absolutely. Though, being that's what we do now, and it kind of works but could work better, why not at least give it the chance to work better?

As lots of people and Recon (ad nausea) point out, were we the idealized community, we wouldn't need mods or rules or any of that crap. That we still do need those things I think is evidence enough that platitudes alone won't get anything constructive done.

I still think that we should be able to ignore posts. There are a lot of posts in the flood that annoy me, but the same user who made the post may have posted something helpful elsewhere.


No point in ignoring a user.

LOL this is the equivlent of a flame war. people are getting worked up over nothing.

it pretty much comes down to either your pro-choice, or Bungie holds supreme power over all to decide. i'm guessing this would be a pain in the ass to make anyways if they decided to go through with it. it's probably not worth the effort when someone can simply choose not to click on a thread they want to ignore.

Which is the entire point. It is your choice. You could never use it if you didn't want to.

I honestly doubt we'll ever get this feature. I still think its a good idea, and will say as much (apparently pretty often tonight).

  • 12.14.2011 8:48 PM PDT

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Rules and mods are to help larger problems. Should you get annoyed by a tinier things, such as a poster, should be your own problem.

It would be like satisfying everyone on a 15-hour plane flight by chucking all the babies into sound-proofed rooms, but you're the one person who dislikes that one funny stain.

That's why I think that the ignore button should get rid of a user's post in the thread the button is clicked in only.

That's sounds better, although a lot more complicated to put in action.

I'm not "deciding" jack--blam!-. I'm acknowledging that it's not our place to shun someone almost entirely. The feature itself is not a bad idea at all; however, a bunch of people ignoring one person for no reason. If everyone went and ignored someone, they would essentially not be a part of the Community, of which we have no right to control who or who does not belong.

It doesn't exist anymore, and Apoc was banned for posting it.

lol to ken being "That guy"
I reallly didn't want to read through the 16 pages of posts so i don't know if this has been stated, but if you ignore someone it should be a two way street. If i ignore or whatever some user for, lets say a week, not only will i not see his posts, but he should not be able to view mine either.
This Should definitely not be a feature. If this was implemented it would shift the power of control over other users from Bungie and the forum ninjas to people in the community. Why should I, or any other person have the right to decide what another community member can an cannot see.

I completely agree, like I said earlier:

My only concern with something like this would be an issue where you are reading through a discussion in a thread where someone you have blocked has posted. The discussion will be chopped up from the readers point of view and important additions to the thread and topic might be missed without realization.

Because lets be honest, some spammers only spam sometimes and if you block somebody after one spam how do you know they wont have something important to say later.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, a lot of people are in favor of this, and Achronos sounded like they have in the past and currently are considering it.

It would be nothing like that. It would be more like putting earmuff on so you couldn't hear the baby. In your scenario you are removing something from everyone just because you have a problem with it. The proposed feature would just shield you personally from the problem without affecting anyone else.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

I don't get why Rokit's post got so little recognition. I think his idea was truly brilliant, although I'm still gun-shy about having a permanent ignore feature come up at all. Some people are "terrible" users for years, but then they come around. I guess the system could either clear your ignore list after a year of inactivity, or ask if you want to unignore the person, but it'd be much easier to just keep it at one month ignore levels.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Seeing what this topic has become, I'd like to bring up the Block feature in our PM's. Fragmenting? Yes. Abusable? Only to yourself. Public? Not really.

The reason why I bring it up is because it's essentially the same tool. If you abuse it, only you are going to lose out. If someone else abuses it, oh well, that just means they're secluding themselves. Honestly, after thinking this over a few more drinks, it's sounding better and better for the overall community.

This Community is massive: a few million will love you, a hundred thousand will ignore you - with 900,000 people still listening, I think you'd easily find someone else to talk to.

You will only be deciding what YOU can or cannot see. You have no effect on other users.

Since Rokit has just brought it up, if you block someone from sending you PMs, how do you know they won't have something important to say later?

It's a problem which currently exists.

Which is why instead of ignoring/blocking, I find favor in "hiding" instead!

I think. Do I? It sounds the better idea.

Exactly, we shouldn't underestimate Bungie and the effort that they will put into to please their community.

I certainly believe I have the right to shun someone if I want to.
How would they not be a part of the community, they're just being ignored by the people that don't like them. I don't see a downside to that. The community is large enough so that if a small group of people ignore you, then there is still a huge group of people who still haven't.

Also, we're not deciding who belongs or doesn't belong in the community, we're choosing whose posts we want to see.
