New feature maybe
July 2, 2021 at 9:38 pm
I thought this was somewhere but I couldn't seem to find it. Do we think it would be worth the effort and feasible to have the ability to just mute people. I know we have that, but it gets them everywhere, and you have to go turn it off and on.
What if when we went to ignore someone from a thred, it would ask, "just in this thread", "just in this section" or "everywhere" ... idk... thoughts?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I only know of the ignore function and you know how that works.
This is a question for one of the more tech savvy. Maybe one will show up soon.

We can't do this with the forum software as is, but there might be a plugin that could accomplish this. I can't make any promises but I like this idea and I will look into it.

Can't you just program the nanobots to hone in on their DNA, and cause a little "accident"?

It actually would be nice to have people on ignore to not appear in one's alerts. I don't know what that would take, beyond my eyes just sliding by the stupid posts...which is how I usually handle it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Not too much of an issue really.
We ignore most people in real life who give us the shits, same deal here. 2 or 3 mouse wheels or screen swipes and it's over.
It's the 90/10 rule again. 90% of those who put someone on ignore are happy to ignore everything they post.
