Last night I used "ignore" on a member for the first time ever. It gave me the option to customize what I view without imposing that on others.

I think the scenario being discussed would cause all to be controled by one, and that would not be productive. Leave the macro management to the moderators and exercise your options on the micro level.

I think this may be more about vindication than monitoring.

What could make sense is a standard delay of maybe two minutes before a sent post appears allowing the author to rescind or alter the post. It seems that clarity of thought often is produced by hitting send, but then it is too late. At least this has been my experience at times. This would provide additional self moderation.

Kind of a waiting room to allow for reconsideration and common sense for the more emotional and passionate.

BRAVO Taylor! Best sentence written in this thread. Except

There is no way BR meant FU as "for unlawful carnal knowledge."

I think he was trying to be diplomatic and coin a new abbreviation for "Fortunately or Unfortunately."

Great Post! In total agreement on all points. Especially open discussion on non-pinball topics. Used the ignore option for the first time yesterday. It was a much better choice for me than tearing into what I didn't appreciation and found offensive.

True. However, I, when appropriate for me, would rather blissfully not know about the next comment from the ignorant. Not all who have access earn equal attention, especially those who crave it negatively. But please indulge yourself in whatever suits your taste and need. No problem here.

Ignore for me is self moderation. If I know that a comment or turn is going to draw my claws and fangs out in the truest sense, I would rather ignore than allow myself to take that turn.
