They tried that it was fucking shit.
Now they'll try this. I like the idea. To see the whole site and all the threads not only do you have to not ignore people, you have to not act in such a way that people ignore you.

It will be for you.

and most other people i think
who wants a messageboard where you're not allowed to say anything remotely controversial or disagree with other people?

might as well go back to trolling yahoo forums :(

What are you talking about?
You say anything controversial you like, but if you go out of your way to actually target someone then you run the risk they might ignore you and you'll miss out on some stuff.

Of course some people will be over sensitive about comments, but are they the sort of people who's posts you're likely to be sad about missing? I highly doubt it.

All this does is provide a decent solution to the fact that people with nothing to contribute but abuse will find their selection of targets diminishing, whereas those people that actually provide some amusing banter and give and take it in the spirit of the site won't.

what you're doing here is underestimating the over-reactors
i got nearly 15 people ignoring me pretty much from the off, and I don't even think i was mean or nasty to anyone

and yes, i do want to see those posts. all the general chit chat is fairly lame, it's only when someone makes an idiot of themselves that things get interesting around here

I'm not underestimating them at all
I've managed to be rude to people for years on here and I've had plenty of great back and forth so people obviously aren't ignoring me.

You have to consider the fact that you might be the problem, not everyone else.

oh i'm sure that i am, but i assure you that you will have several people ignoring you right now
and that if they weren't, you'd probably have a bit more to do around here

i just think it'll eventually leave the site as a much tamer, duller place

agreeing with rory, right here.
the whiners and the dullards are entertainment, not 'targets'.

i think you need a new tinfoil hat, bamongoloid.

What happens if she slightly changes her username after this? She'd then be able to see and respond.

no she'd need to set up another account

Why?

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:30, Reply)

for what chompy said, the account is ignored, not the username

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:30, Reply)

See below, so if I ignore you, I'll ignore user 90123 not "Battered" and you can't change your user number

(PsychoChomp, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:30, Reply)

I get it now. Ta.

You know why someones name stays purple after they change their name?

(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:31, Reply)

I always assumed that was to do with cookies for some reason.
I am not technical, as this clearly shows.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:33, Reply)

Well, it is to do with cookies
but the cookie is linked to the account number, not the name. That's how you can tell when someone changes their name but you have already looked at their profile.

It wilL be interesting to see how people's behaviour changes as a result of this change.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:37, Reply)

i'm hoping it won't, i think we'll end up with more posts with fewer replies though

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:42, Reply)

Ignores based on the usernumber not the username.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 2 Aug 2012, 10:30, Reply)

Ah.
