Should GPPD do like other forums and block posters who are put on Ignore by the OP

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

Even after the retirement from Federer the same old schism and animosity between rival fans are being rehashed. We hear people complain can there be peace even for a week after all the Laver Cup love. Instead of complaining do you want the forum to block troll posters from responding if you put them on Ignore? This thread may not last too long.

I wanna see everything, unfiltered in all it’s rawness never put a single person on ignore in 15 years.

 

[BauerAlmeida]

No, it's ridiculous that a poster can prevent another one from posting on a thread.

 

[Third Serve]

No. Only genuinely reportable behavior should prevent posters from contributing to threads here.

Is that how you stay "bestie" with everyone? 15 years? Any royalties or residuals? Perhaps discounts for merchandise?

 

[Pass750]

So the OP can silence opinions they don’t like? No thank you.

 

[GabeT]

The best solution is to make me master overlord of all threads

i reluctantly accept this difficult task

 

[Vanilla Slice]

It’s a forum for a reason. Most of the policing needs to be self-policing with the occasional heavy hand of the wonderful moderators.

 

[Mr.Lob]

All of the above.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Moderators let a lot go, compared to a few other forums I've been on. They seem to often be asleep at the wheel.
Certain pinheads are allowed to post whatever they want with minimal consequences. Put them on ignore.

If the forum bothers you, take a break from reading or posting for improved mental health

 

[Hitman]

I have a lot of posters on ignore, that is my right to decide what I want to read. However, I will never ask for those said posters to not post in my thread if they still see my thread, because I don't see the posts anyway. But maybe they want to engage with others in the thread, or maybe other posters would be keen to hear their opinions, that is something I don't want to block. As long as they don't go past the line of decency, its all good.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Yeah, that's exactly what this forum needs, more petty censorship.

 

[TimHenmanATG]

Unless they are actively spamming, then "ignoring" people on internet forums is highly immature, imho.

It's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears whilst shouting "nyah! nyah! nyah! I can't hear what the nasty person is saying!".

Besides, everyone has something interesting to say. Even if 98% of someone's commentary is complete and utter twaddle, then that remaining 2% may be insightful or thought-provoking.

I don’t know how you can manage this. I have 87 people on ignore.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I don’t know how you can manage this. I have 87 people on ignore and add more weekly.

1. Im too nosy to not wanna see everything
2. Words on a screen can't bother me that much lol. The forum is no different than real life, everyone isn't going to like everyone, and I accept that.

 

[aldeayeah]

No, because the only people who'd use that feature would be the ones most likely to abuse it.

i practise a healthy mix of 3 and 4 depending on how easy to ignore the offendant is

 

[MurraysMetalHip]

I think TT should have an IQ and EQ test before being allowed to post in GPPD.

hey the forum is dead enough without weeding out 90% of the population

 

[Hitman]

I have 125 and growing. Possibly some are no longer posting, but it has certainly made my time here much better. Clearly, you are not one of them.

 

[Fedforever]

Agree with the consensus here. You might put someone on Ignore because they're somehow irritating to you but it doesn't mean they're annoying to everybody.

I also thinks it means you can be more free yourself with what you write if you know someone can put you on Ignore - if someone doesn't like your style you know they can just shut you out.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

Lol putting people on ignore is pathetic.

This is the only answer.

Obnoxious, annoying people agree with you

It already does

Hi Hitman!!!

 

[rUDin 21]

3rd option.
Annoying posters are continuing with their "style" as long as they have the audience to reply to them.
It's that simple.
The sign says "Don't feed the troll" and yet everyone keeps doing the opposite.

 

[D.Nalby12]

No. Our ignore function is just fine.
