Subject: Should we be able to Ignore Posts?

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

I can ignore posts right now, I feel like such a wizard that I obviously have this magical power that some people request a script for.

I mean, I thought it was easy to just not respond to a troll or just not read something I don't like.

You just got to learn to not let that stuff bother you. I have to put up with many people on here and not respond to it, I have already been threatened with a perma ban for responding to stupid stuff.

Why?

What stupid stuff is so severe that you are threatened to be Perma'ed for just responding to it? It must be more than stupid if it's that big of a deal.

It is actually for responding to anyone who harasses me on the forums. I notice that the policy on this site is to not go for the jerks but punish the victims.

Really after being here so long I just gave up caring. I wish people would also just mellow out and calm down.

You shouldn't be mad because you see someone you don't like post, if you do, you need to get the pole out of your butt.

I'm sorry, but it lodged in there quite far, It would be much easier if I had the ability to block posts from people.

The point that Ken is referring to and the skill that he is mastering is that "no one can type something onto a forum that is capable of MAKING you reply or respond. You have to choose to respond, you have to decide to reply, you have control over whether, when, and HOW you respond."

It impresses me just how many people feel that they are obligated to respond to something said on a forum, either to them, not to them, about them or not about them. It is amazing. It's utterly HILARIOUS when people tell me that they were only "defending themselves" when they decided to post something rule breaking. As if those other words removed their own self-control and FORCED them to write what was written by their hand.

I notice that issues here tend to be resolved by removing the "issue" that is less powerful.

I mean there can be a ton of people flaming one guy but some people think that it is easier to remove the dude who is being flamed and that solves the problem.

It is just getting to the point now where everything on here is laughable. I don't hate anyone on here, it is a website, but some people just hate people on here so much it is what I would expect on the Kindergarten playground.

I am tried of dealing with it on here so I just don't care anymore.

I also think you guys should just let it go to, don't respond to trolls, don;t post flamebait, don't act like an ass, etc.

Mods?

If you could block people, the kindergarteners would seem as if they left to go back inside, leaving only the upper classmen to play.

In real life, you are going to be around people you don't care for. There are certainly people I have met I don't care for and people that are downright annoying.

But, that doesn't mean I should treat them like a jerk.

some people here have this bravado that you can get away for being jerks to people because you are not face to face with your victims. That you are untouchable.

The reason I am so against this is there is NO REASON that anyone here is not capable of ignoring or not being an ass to someone they don't like, Everyone tries playing the victim card all the time when they are the ones being the bully.

I don't respond to every post I see and I ignored tons of things. I also try not to respond to people in a way that seems too rude or questionable.

At this point it is getting ridiculous.

What a joke. I guess I was a victim when I got two weeks for being mildly sarcastic to you.

I'm not being a jerk by not allowing you to appear on my screen, I'm resisting the temptation of being a jerk by not allowing you to appear on my screen.

I think you're just mad because you realize that a lot of people will block you in particular. Trust me, I am capable of not being an asshat, but like every human being, I am subject to temptations.

So exactly what is the difference between choosing to ignore someone and clicking a button so you don't have to see them, either?

*puts on David Attenborough voice*

Here we see, in their native environment, Internet users who will argue a non-necessary issue, to the point of absurdity, all because it seems very important to them.

See how the one user, magnificent in his self-confidence, states his case without pause, completely unaware that it is derailing the topic at hand?

And then watch the others, come into the off-topic discussion, all wanting to talk about "that one time that this one thing happened to me!"

Marvelous, isn't it? Natural creatures, behaving naturally in their natural habitat as we, the audience, watch silently from our homes at this new form of wild-life.

It just kind of makes me sad to see how fast we are willing to block out our fellow brothers and sisters of the septagon army.

I would never block anyone, all it does is silence people who have different views than I do and lowers the amount of people I can interact with.

People want this for the wrong reasons and are using it in ways that contradict what people say and/or for things they can do themselves.
