If someone at your workplace is mouthing off to all the others, the directors don't just ignore what is happening, they have a duty to act, so the admins can't ignore. If a 'troll' comes on here (usually with a new member name), how can you choose to ignore someone that you don't even know you need to ignore? Often they go away pretty soon anyway, and if they are out to really annoy and realise there is an 'ignore' feature on here, they just come back and log in as a new member. yeah and sometimes its fun to watch them go down in flames They are entertainment man!! Rushfanlv you need to look at the trolls like that You're right. There is a huge difference between the site I am referring to and this site in that respect. The trolls get taken care of quickly. I guess I just assumed it would be a problem here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great many of us have engaged in some sort of minor trolling at some point or other in the past. it could even be argued that playing "devils advocate" can be a form of it. The only problem is when someone does it constantly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 In a more serious vein though... I see the original point. If this was any other kind of forum, then maybe one of these ignore features could be good. Especially if you're a victim of personal harassment from one of these trolls. But on this board, that kind of stuff doesn't exist really. I mean... there's spats and minor feuds, but most people either work them out, or learn to ignore each other anyway. It's not that hard. What I meant by it being "toopid", is that since someone can quote that post anyway... you're never really completely "safe" from someone's words. Just a silly thing i feel. I couldn't be bothered to enter someone's name into the ignore feature, y'know? Well... except maybe Tick. But other than him... nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you seeing my point of view and I hope everyone realizes that I never meant to offend anyone. I truly like everyone here and feel at home here. It was never my intention to ignore any of you. You're right about this site never having problems like that. I've only seen the whole Melodick777 episode happen. I just assumed that it was inevitable at every site but the mods here must be on their toes. At the other site I referenced, we would have 10 to 20 threads started in the guitars section with a link that said "Shakira having sex!" day after day. I would go through and delete the threads (which took an hour or so) only to find them all back in the next day. At that point, the owner of the site needed to step in and ban the offenders IP address but I couldn't get the site owner to respond so we directed the members to use the ignore feature. Again, I hope I didn't offend anyone. I dig Rush and I dig being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxt1990 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The other advnatge of not having an ignore feature is that when no one replies to an entry of mine, I can be sure it sucked or was unworthy of a response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
