    Default Ignore Function

    Put me out of my misery! Remind me how the Ignore function works. There's a particular bad-tempered, whining person in here that I desperately need to be rid of.

    Click on Settings top right, then find Edit Ignore list under My Settings > My Account in the left hand column. Add a name to it or delete one from it.

    Edited to mention that "Empty_of_Clouds" replied to Deb's original question assuming that he was the person that she was referring to. Then he deleted his original reply and the thread continuation looks a bit odd because of that fact.

    I'm betting neighbors of a certain someone wishes they could push a button and he'd disappear as easily.

    Thanks for posting this. I'm putting it to good use now and the air already smells better,

    Sometimes it's wise to move the kiddie table into a different room so the adults can hold conversations.

    Default Re: Ignore Function

    There was a time when I tried to work out why people might want to be argumentative and difficult in a place that is meant to be educational, enjoyable, entertaining and interesting.

    There has been two people that I thought 'this person just needs some understanding, they need a friend', this was a mistake, a huge mistake.

    I now understand that people behave in the way that they do because they want to be difficult and confront others whenever there is an opportunity.

    I owe it to myself to make full and justified use of the Ignore key, it improves the quality of the FPG browsing as there is a certain unmissable pleasure in skimming past a post of an Ignored member which exceeds any benefit that I might obtain from reading it.

    "Kinda pathetic really."

    Those three words sum up your attitude in a nutshell.

    I cannot believe your attitude to those who make FPG a better place.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    I am done here, you are not worth the key clicks.

    eta. This post does not make very much sense as a post from Empty_of_Clouds has been deleted. That post was a complete disgrace and trulyt abusive to another FPG member who works hard for the benefit of all on FPG.

    I was thinking this AM about freedom of speech. Of course, it does not apply to forums. It's common for someone who wants to exercise speech freedom to recoil when that same freedom is exercised toward them. I think we need to realize that if we choose to speak our minds, we also have to our words and suffer either the accolades or displeasure from others.

    More bullshit. I don't just read threads that I am involved in. I do read other people's stuff. That guy joined this year (end of last year?). I've posted quite a bit this year. You going to go and persecute him now with your delusions? I mentioned the other guy because I noticed that you had a go at him in a similar way that you did and continue to do with me.

    So, two people on the forum were born in the same country. FFS. Stop sniffing the contrails.

    I feel sorry for you if you are now going to see my hand in any new member who shows a little bit of personality. I feel sorrier for them if they have to put up with you criticising them for it.

    I'm finding this Ignore setting doubles as a Warning setting. It's like a yellow-tape and saw-horse barricade around a open cesspool that constantly bubbles and emits noxious gas. Get too close and you're enveloped by stench.

    Thanks again for letting me know about the setting Deb. The air is much sweeter today.

    Cheers,
    Sg

    E_o_C is continuing to behave in this way because he knows he isn't going to be kicked out. The lack of oversight here is a wonderful thing but it can always be abused, as it is at this moment.

    Don't feed the troll.

    OP: thank you for asking this question, i has no idea this extremely useful function existed!

    Very useful function.

    Glad I’m not the only one! This should greatly increase my overall mood and enjoyment of the forum!
