soaring crane Posted October 10, 2013 Hello, yeah, that's basically my question up there in the subject line. Thanks! SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted October 10, 2013 There's an ignore posts by specific members function, if that is what you mean? (you can also choose to ignore PMs by a person as well). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trunk Posted October 10, 2013 serenity now! <3 that quote. imo the "ignore" function is way under-utilized. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted October 10, 2013 I use it a lot, but then I keep "peeking" so it doesn't work out so well ROFL. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soaring crane Posted October 10, 2013 I use it a lot, but then I keep "peeking" so it doesn't work out so well ROFL. I noticed the peek function, dang. Any way to turn that off? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc benway Posted October 10, 2013 I noticed the peek function, dang. Any way to turn that off? Nothing better than using TTB's to examine yourself! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starjumper Posted March 20, 2017 If you ignore someone does that prevent them from seeing your posts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue eyed snake Posted March 20, 2017 the ignore-button is a wonderful method, but when someone on your ignore list chooses to react on a post of yours... I then feel the need to answer...out of politeness but getting me into a discussion with someone that I'd prefer to ignore. ah well, just like real life 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSnake Posted March 20, 2017 The ignore function.....a very underrated and underused part of TTB. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starjumper Posted March 20, 2017 No. So it isn't like FB ... gnashing of teeth ... but when someone on your ignore list chooses to react on a post of yours... Then that leaves little option but to rip the guy a new asshole? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Posted March 20, 2017 Discretion is the better part of valor, and patience is a virtue... If you have the system configured to e-mail you when someone quotes one of your posts, you still get the notification -- which includes the contents of their reply. It is up to you, then, whether it is worth responding to... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starjumper Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, discretion and patience, I agree. It's just fun to act tough here instead of reacting in the thread in question. I sent the guy a nice PM kindly asking him to remove his comment. I suspect you can also ask a moderator to eliminate a post? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent the guy a nice PM kindly asking him to remove his comment. I suspect you can also ask a moderator to eliminate a post? You can report a comment for moderator review but I will say that there is rarely action unless it breaks the rules or trolling like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starjumper Posted March 20, 2017 OK, I guess I have to live with it. It's so nice living here in the remote mountains, far from the 'them'. In South America, where 'they' barely exist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted March 20, 2017 I tried putting myself on ignore but it didn't work. I guess my ego energy is too strong and it over-rode the forum function. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted March 20, 2017 You can report a comment for moderator review but I will say that there is rarely action unless it breaks the rules or trolling like. Yeah. If it seem egregious the moderators often start by PM'ing the party and asking them nicely to edit the offending message or back off the whole thread. Often parties get so wrapped up in arguments and insults both seem culpable and its harder to assign blame. You just hope they separate and not troll each other in other threads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mudfoot Posted March 31, 2017 You just hope they separate and not troll each other in other threads. Altough this seems to be quite common when a topic has boiled over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent thunder Posted March 31, 2017 That gives me an idea... perhaps a sub section of hun dun... The Flame Pit: Two trolls enter... everybody loses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windwalker Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) I find the level of discourse on this form to be very interesting and quite high. As far as the ignore function if one does not have attachment to what others say and are not attached to what they say, this often resolves a lot of things.
