How to block or ignore a member ?

[CaseHardened]

Facebook, for all its flaws, has a very effective BLOCK feature.

People you have no interest in, once blocked, cannot see your posts. Nor you, theirs.

Can this be done in NYGF ?

yup
click the persons profile picture, click "ignore"

Although I assume I can no longer see their posts, they can still see mine.

And, likely, quote and respond to them.

That's not as good as Facebook, that's for sure.

But it is what it is.

I dont think they can see yours but I may be mistaken

Well, I did ignore them.

And they are commenting, via the icons, so I know they can see my posts.

And also dead people.

Well, it's no so bad.

I want to block one person here, after close to four years as a member.

I must have a hundred blocked on FB.

What is this "Facebook" you speak of?

 

[Edwardteach72]

Its as easy to block someone on here as it is to see who reacted and what their reaction is to your post..


So I guess it may be pretty difficult for some generations of "people"

Technically it's possible with a paid plugin. Looks like $30 initial and $20 per year (I looked into it just for the hell of it). So, it might be something we'd do if enough people REALLY wanted it.

However, personally I (speaking for me, not the site here) do not see the point and find it rather silly. In fact, I rather strongly feel the ignore function in general is fairly silly. The way I see it, the ignore function is something any of us can (or at least SHOULD be able to) do in our own minds just fine; using simply a modicum of maturity and self-control.. and without any breaks in continuity of content.
I understand and accept that others may not see this as I do .. and see, that's all you've got to do.

Is it possible to SELL it as an Optional Service ?

I'd gladly pay $20 annually for it.

I have a few blocked/ignored. I do not want to read their dribble, if they read mine, whatever.

I personally do get use out of the ignore feature and think it is a benefit. I do have a small number of folks on that list and it does make my reading of threads here more enjoyable and subsequently the time I spend here more enjoyable as well. There is also one person who is thus far the only one who made the ignore list and then eventually was removed from the list fWIW.

We all have a nice ignore button on our mouse.... the fast scroll button!

Just two clicks with said mouse and you need not scroll quickly

I have four. I had more, but some of them have since left....

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Have you tried white out?

 

[masterswimmer]

I've got a couple on iggy as well.
Those individuals just don't deserve any of my time whatsoever. Even to fly through their posts at warp speed. I'd rather not even know they have a heartbeat. Makes my life feel more serene. Ommm

I think I blocked one guy, and he was one of those "I'll join for a month and then get pissed at all of NYGF and throw a "I'm quitting" type of post". That was about it.

I've never blocked anyone on any forum.

I have the oddest feeling the reciprocal isn't true.

Their loss.

 

[Cooolone]

Is funny...

I used to think to ignore was easy, when you see their post, just scroll by... If they post, message or respond to anything I do, just ignore them.

I think today, it's called Ghosting!
Hahahaha (dead to me)...

Honestly, don't need no stinkin button or setting! Lolz
