I don't know how i missed this thread.
Quoted from davewtf:Great, now nobody will be reading my posts!
Quoted from NimblePin:Well if that's true Dave, then I'm pretty much guaranteed an audience with the crickets! (Or, have possibly moved in with the Bottom Boys...)
Nice knowing you guys!
Welcome! Welcome!
Been contemplating changing my username to FLOUNDER, not as a reference to animal house, but as an admission of bottom dwelling! Maybe, one of you could join me as HALIBUT.
Quoted from johnwartjr:I would suggest removing the tilt warning, and not adding an 'ignore' feature.
I can manually ignore whomever I like. If I don't like a particular users posts, I'm a grown up, I ignore them.
The tilt warnings are often abused. I unhide the posts, and see that there was no real reason to hide most of them. How about offering something where I can tell it that I don't want to hide any posts, if other users find the 'hide posts' to be useful?
Got to agree with John and the others like-minded. It is about maturity and personal responsibility, two personal characteristics that seem to be in ever decreasing supply.
Robin, I think you have shown sound judgment in the past and may be more in touch with what is effective in today's workings. Much of the nonsense that motivated the tilt warning seems to have minimized itself. Is it a spurious correlation, I do not know. So, history has shown that you have a good sense of what works here, and if it makes your life easier, than it is a good thing.
It would be interesting to know the age breakdown of those who voted.
I do not think that it will be used by people who enjoy going at each other, for the battle is their payoff.
I have to admit that there was a recent post humorizing the physical abuse of women that made me so angry that I will probably use the feature to spare myself the frustration of needing to recognize in the future the existence of the particular offensive miscreant who posted it.
