Ignore User
 

Is this version, like when you upgraded the last time, going to have an option that allows for blocking posts by certain users?

I previously thought this feature would never be desired by me. However, recently things have begun to change and there are a couple people that I'd rather not even read posts by and ignoring the posts would be difficult based on the quantity made.

Amen, bring it back. :D

I agree. There are a couple people I'd like to block as well. However, if it is disable to save server strain, then don't bother as I'd rather have a fast site.

Just a reminder, you can't ignore moderators, so the feature would be useless for some.;)

Not planning on bringing this feature back. It's a HUGE resource hog and even though the new forum is dealing with load better we still do have a pretty sharp peak in load on Mon & Tues that puts the server to the test

Just ban the top ten posters on Monday and Tuesdays, that should help out :D

:lol:

Thanks for the answer Geoff; I'll learn to live with it.

No no, I know you wouldn't be locked out. Knock out the non mods and there will be less server strain :D

Geoff you can probably put the links for ignoring back in as I changed the way it functions and it should not cause any problems for you now.

YES!

Seriously! If it won't be a drain please, please let this be back in.

Ditto. If they've changed it, at least give it a test Geoff.

Here's another vote to bring it back.

For what it is worth, here's a vote against bringing it back.

I vote to ignore FREEJG ;)

That's exactly why I don't want the ignore feature. I don't want anyone who would block me to miss out on the FREEJG experience. :D

But think of how many people would be blessed if they did! ;)

I just notied your location, you must have been confused by the ballot and wanted to vote it back, not against it ;)

Yep bring it back.

Haha, whenever I go out of state and people hear where I'm from, I get atleast one "recount" crack. I don't know if the area will ever live it down.

No, I'm pretty sure I'd like to ensure you guys see my 3.23 posts a day. ;) Being annoyed by certain posters is part of the DVDTalk experience and I honestly think something intangible would be lost if there was an ignore feature.

don't see any point in enabling ignore. out of the thousands of members i doubt even a hundred would use it. is it worth it just for that small percentage? if keeping the ignore feature un-enabled saves even a small amount of drain (and speeds access to the sight even marginally) then i don't think it's needed.

Wait, are we talking about the ignore function or the Other section? :D ;)

For what it's worth ignoring users will not add any strain on the server now.

See! This sounds perfect! As for seeing posts from people you don't care to see...I don't think that's valid. There are instances where just acting like the contributer doesn't exist is the best option. Some people just = flame bait for other people. Sometimes there are ideological differences. Etc, etc, and it's just a preventative tool.

If this is true, then PLEASE bring back this feature Geoff. There are a handful of members who I would love to be able to block again. And I think that's true for most members. If you can ban people you can't stand, it makes it less likely that you'll lose your temper oversomething they post and get in a flame war.
