Title: How To: Add Members to Your Forum Ignore List
Post by: scout on April 04, 2013, 10:39 pm
This will help guide you through the process of adding a member and their posts to your Ignore List on the forums.


Part One
------------

1.  Click on "Profile" at the top of the page here on the forums.

2.  In the left frame that shows up, there will be a list of links.  Under the highlighted heading "Modify Profile," click "Buddies/Ignore List."

3.  Moving to the main frame, there will be a link to "Edit Ignore List" -- click on that.

4.  In the empty field below, enter the username of the member you'd like to ignore.

5.  Click "Add" to start ignoring posts from that member.



Part Two:
------------

1.  In the link list shown in the left frame again, click on "Look and Layout" under the "Modify Profile" heading.

2.  Scroll down a bit and make sure you have checked the box next to "Hide messages posted by members on my ignore list."


That should do it!  :)

Thank you for creating this sticky scout, as the forum membership grows so does the diversity of it's members and not everything posted here is met with universal approval. We do not condone censorship so the best advice is for anyone finding themselves wanting to avoid having to read posts by certain forum members is to put those individuals on their ignore list.

Thanks so much +1 OP :-)

Ignore is such a useful power when you are trying not to be a jerk towards people who deserve it :-)

I've often wished for this ability.  Thanks so much Scout!  ;D

Holy shit you can ignore members!?!?!!?  I wish I found out about this a few weeks ago.  Ever since I posted a thread called Purple PartyFlocks... They SUCK, my bad karmas have skyrocketed... Shit, so much for being able to express your opinion/experience on here...

Don't let bad karma stop you!  It means nothing on the forum!  A forum cannot come close to duplicating something like karma, and its not suppose too!  Keep speaking your mind, most will shun you, the ones that don't are the only ones who matter!


Everything popular is wrong!

Awesome! Thanks for the feature mods!

(It's kind of like reverse social networking. Instead of adding people, you can block them until you only see people you'd want on your 'friends list' :^P )
mostly kidding. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Awesome, guess we are all pretty oblivious :]

I would assume scout will have to continue reading them all to be an effective mod. Price of the position no?

This actually helps do some of the mod-work for the modzis. Users--even the mods--can ignore nonsense more effectively, according to their personal taste. As for spammers and the like, it's a whole other story....

Is there anything you can do to stop 0 post members from sending PMs?  SR pepinamil and his minions are relentless and must really think I want to buy bulk cocaine since I get at least one message per day from them.  Problem is it is a different user each time.

Send me the account names they are using and I will delete them. It only slows them down a bit but all the same its an irritation for them.

In your forum Account Settings, ensure the box beside "Show others my online status" is unchecked. They are most likely gleaning the 'online users' list for people to send messages to.

This does actually drastically reduce the number of annoying PM scam/spam messages you will receive.

Maybe I am looking at this from the wrong angle, part of me understands to block obscene and stupid, but I have to agree sometimes the things you don't want to hear you need to. Plus I am one that will be blocked for just being sarcastic and  maybe a bit stupid..lol

Go and read some of masterblasters threads about 'wanting to cum in your kidz' and see if you feel the same. Some posts challenge and help us grow and some I could do without reading.
