Have a read of the announcement I made at the top of Genius forum.keenobserver wrote:I realize the boundaries are not real but isnt this taking it a bit too far?
If the text is too small, I recommend going to your User Control Panel, "Board Preferences" and then change "My Board Style" to subsilver2.

Re: it bites
Both options are a bit hard on the eyes. May we have a black background with yellow/orange or green font? That should make it easier to look at.

never mind.
I like it. Especially some of the new preferences, such as 'ignore user'...

I like some of the extra moderator features but I've opted for subsilver2 myself.

You can ignore users using the scrolling function, no?Katy wrote:never mind.

What difference does it make to you?
And no, using the scrolling function doesn't work very well for ignoring someone who is intentionally abusing you.

Re: it bites
Hi Katy,
If someone is just unrelentingly boring and irrational, then I ask them to leave the forum on my own behalf. Not much point persisting with a lesson which has been done to death.

I think it's important to think about emotions, rather than to express or suppress them.Kelly: You can ignore users using the scrolling function, no?
Katy: Why do you care?

Finding out what people are really saying, underneath the slander or politeness, and learning to distrust all human motivation, is a very stimulating lesson. It won't happen if one doesn't want to face that ugly reality.And no, using the scrolling function doesn't work very well for ignoring someone who is intentionally abusing you.

Re: it bites
OK, so don't use the ignore function yourself since that is the position you are in. What does it matter to you whether someone else uses the ignore function? This sounds a lot more like paranoia that you'll be ignored yourself than any type of philosophical objection.Kelly Jones wrote: I think it's important to think about emotions, rather than to express or suppress them.
Seeing you are not an admin, asking someone to leave the board is
A. rather presumptuous and extremely egotistical
and
B. kinda pointless since they don't have to do it

Re: it bites
I don't recall seeing you do this. Was this just a hypothetical situation, or have you asked people to leave via pm? And if you have asked people to leave via pm, how many have actually left?Kelly Jones wrote:If someone is just unrelentingly boring and irrational, then I ask them to leave the forum on my own behalf.
