Title: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: Transisto on March 12, 2012, 04:01:32 AM The idea came from reading this thread : People paid by banking elite to troll this Forum? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68309.msg796704#msg796704
This is mostly a safety concern, the reputation of users is very important when dealing bitcoins with anonymous. I've noticed that I now have many speculations threads with ~90% of people ignored. I think the reason is there are many posters who only post to raise their post-count to give appearance having some reputation. It wouldn't surprise me if some 1000-2000 posts accounts would end up being sold to the highest bidders. SUBs such as Specu... and off-topic are very prone to non-sense postings. I have no idea why off topic threads should be tolerated if off-topic post are not. I am committing to a 5BTC bounty to develop the "Ignored by # peoples" feature besides usernames. EDIT : similar thread found. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67702.0 Conslusion, : Theymos did not want to hurt feelings and cause drama. My take is, whatever the outcome, we must at least end up with a way to filter the top of phony and disingenuous posters. If only moderators could have access to a counter and have a warning when a user trigger the 50 ignore threshold that would be a improvement. The middle point could be, flagging someone as "suspicious" publicly when it cross the 0.1% top ignored threshold, say there are 50000 users and the top 50 most ignored have ~200 ignore then, ... well they're definitely suspicious enough to be worried about. I guess this safety measure would also scale well in time as the forum grows. When I ignore someone, I genuinely do not want to hear about anything they have to say, Thus I think it's an accurate measure for debunking abusive post count hoarders. Matthew N. Wright is willing to contribute another 5BTC Total : 10.0000000 BTC Edit : Done, Full bounty sent, Thanks Matthew Result : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68329.msg796962#msg796962 Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: Matthew N.

Social experimentation is the most entertaining of exercises. Who cares if I'd be on the top of the list. It'd be useful and entertaining, and that's what I live for. Based on your posts I’ve read, I actually believe you. If being routinely banned hasn’t really tarnished everyone’s opinion of you already then I guess you’re Teflon to all incoming damage so it wouldn’t matter anyway. Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on March 12, 2012, 05:00:51 AM Implementation of that feature is unlikely while we use SMF. A lot of code would need to be added to prevent the count from being easily exploitable.
Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on March 12, 2012, 05:57:29 AM Seems like a simple SQL JOIN statement could handle it. Yeah, you're right. If we just use SQL and bypass all of the SMF stuff then it's actually easy and pretty fast. (I was thinking it would be really slow, but all of the necessary data is in one table and MySQL handles lists-in-strings surprisingly well.) I suppose it wouldn't be the worst kind of rating system (it's pretty resistant to abuse), but I still don't think it's a good idea. Any "global" reputation system like this encourages groupthink and discourages people from posting controversial ideas. As I mentioned in the other thread, it would also cause hurt feelings and drama. Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: Transisto on March 12, 2012, 06:07:18 AM .... Any "global" reputation system like this encourages groupthink and discourages people from posting controversial ideas. As I mentioned in the other thread, it would also cause hurt feelings and drama. I have modified my OP to include this Quote flagging someone as "suspicious" publicly when it cross the 0.1% top ignored threshold, say there are 50000 users and the top 50 most ignored have ~200 ignore then, ... well they're definitely suspicious enough to be worried about. I guess this safety measure would also scale well in time as the forum grows. I think there is a margin between being a rating system and this ; more like a safety feature. Group think ? I would never ignore someone only because it hold controversial idea and I was against it, I am am generally banning people because their reasoning is so flawed I deem it has no chance of improving in a reasonable time-frame. And most likely I ban people who keep on posting opinions without any logical arguments with the intent of influencing others. (aka. planned groupthink) (DDWRT AC66U) Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on March 12, 2012, 07:45:24 AM OK, I added an indication of how ignored someone is (by very-established users) without revealing the exact count. We'll see how it goes. I might remove it later.
Is the highlighting a good way to indicate it? Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on March 12, 2012, 07:49:12 AM Current rules are:
- 0.35% of very-established users ignore you: no public highlight, but a range on your posts that only you can see - 0.5% of very-established users ignore you: light highlight - 1% of very-established users ignore you: medium highlight - 1.5% of very-established users ignore you: dark highlight You're very established if: - You have 100+ hours of online time - You have 100+ posts - You registered 30+ days ago There are ~1414 very-established users right now. The change only shows up in the default theme.

That's intentional. If you've ignored them then their posts should be as unobtrusive as possible, with no highlight. This feature was really easy to implement. Other features are not so easy, and I hate messing around with SMF code; I always feel like I'm going to break something in a non-obvious way and introduce a security flaw. Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: N12 on March 12, 2012, 06:17:09 PM This is hilarious.
A meter would indeed be a good improvement. By the way, I find it hard to distinguish the highlights. Can’t you make it yellow/orange/red?

Try using my fork of punbb ( http://mybestbb.ww7.be/ ) have most needed features and would be pretty easy to hack the code and add this feature.

Very fast too ! Thanks Theymos http://blockchain.info/tx-index/3296811/44a56c4699688d174312a06cd4094dc0786c6c590dec8df592148570beb9060d It could also be a paid feature to be able to lower the threshold,,, I guess too few people use the ignore feature, it may increase tough, time will tell. Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on March 12, 2012, 08:59:36 PM Do you guys think the highlighting is the best way of expressing this in the UI? My goals were to:
- Make it pretty subtle so annoying people don't become more prominent. It's just a little hint. - Not show exact numbers so that people can't usually tell when someone's ignore counter has increased. - Not show anything for most users. So I probably wouldn't like exact numbers or meters. Shades of goldenrod was the first thing that came to mind. I'm not a web designer -- it could be sub-optimal. I am satisfied with the implementation, bounty sent to forum fund. Very fast too !

I think that the "ignore color" should be visible even to themselves. ( without asking screenshots :P ) Can you also add the color somewhere else?

Now let's hope that the new forum software (whenever it comes) will also support positive "voting" of some kind for users, so that it offers encouragement as well.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list. Maybe I really need some help :D Joking aside, I could not use ignore because in 1/100 posts even a major troll is bound to say something that is actually useful. Besides, I will always be wondering what was said and hidden by that ignore feature ;D How much effort will I have to do to turn this ":-(" into a ":)" where my own ignore button is ??? Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: PatrickHarnett on March 13, 2012, 07:19:18 PM Hmmm, I see Randy also has that lovely piss stain too (a description that I'm sure will stick).
I choose not to ignore people because, as Bulanula says, they occasionally say something useful or insightful. Failing that they inject colour (complete with new meaning and a bad pun) into what can otherwise be a dull thread. I did once ignore Atlas (and variations), but it didn't hide all the new threads and that was more annoying, so I simply took it off ignore and don't read them. Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on March 13, 2012, 07:29:26 PM I don't ignore anyone, either.

I just figured out this exists! Where do I rank? You're fourth in global numbers, with 19 ignores. Here are all of the people who currently have any ignore color along with their ignore count (edit: this is the very-established ignore count): Code: 15 PinkiePie (banned) This list looks pretty reasonable to me.

Talk about being famous for all the wrong reasons. :o The most ignored person on the forum that has not been permabanned. Though all the people who ignored me did so probably because of the SC posts I did when I had the SC disease. Fear not, I have my antidote from SoiledCon. I am now 100% supportive of LTC. Strange though that me and Randy have the highest numbers. Also strange that we were the most vocal anti-BFL people. Weird, guess many people believe BFL is 100% legit even with these delays. I sure hope they are indeed legit but me and Randy probably got most of those ignores for that reason alone, I think. Don't know if I want to hold on to that title. Hehe.

Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: LoupGaroux on May 19, 2012, 04:38:57 PM Hey! I'm feeling a little necro-postical this morning as I have just seen my Ignore stats for the very first time, and was brought back here to re-live fond memories by clicking on them.
So- here's my legit thought... if we are going to honor Ignores by giving them this whole Ignore Color Shading Protocol Mechanism (ICSPM) shouldn't we also have a parallel but far more positive version in having an Optional Un-ignore Color Shading Protocol Mechanism (OUCSPM)? That way members of our community could select those authors that they find worthwhile to follow and in effect "subscribe" by noting their posts as being the type that they would make an effort to read. Rather than just making a big noise about who is getting ignored, which does nothing but bring attention to the malcontents and the ninnyhammers who think they should control free expression of ideas, we offer a positive shading option for those who are well respected and followed. With an OUCSPM in place we would highlight those members of our community whose prose is memorable, and worthy of following, in spite of the negative reactions of the intellectually impaired who want to stick their fingers in their ears and la-la-la as the day is long so they don't hear anything that conflicts with their narrow world view.

Actually, it's worse, because there are no positive votes and people who are calm tend to not use it as much, since there's really little point in not seeing certain posts. Plus, being more active automatically makes you "darker" due to noise. Obviously I'm against this for personal reasons, but it is also quite clear that the behavior of this feature isn't good. I'd prefer a plain web of trust, where people can't just mark an unlimited amount of others as bad anonymously. People who understand ignore the new system, newbies are confused, and we're back where we started. Really, if someone wants to mark me for the flamewar, just do it by hand. If you see hordes trolling, just temp-ban them until they stop. Those are methods that actually work, this one is a designed exploit.

Larger range because once someone is flagged as ignored, the exposure to more ignore increase exponentially thus the ranges between color should increase. What is "Warn" is that visible ? Depending on the limited time we have reading the forum, having a very light warning for ~5 ignores would allow to skip read some posts. There are a few of dark users with large quantity of posts that I suspect aren't ignored because of their poor posts but more because of some past controversial posts. A different threshold of (-1) per 1000 post could be used for established members. The reason behind this is that users get ignored for many different reasons and the number of post increase the likelihood of conflict and disagreement. Not even mentioning the risk of rogue ignores only to affect someone else reputation (as a competitive advantage).

Something along the lines of R=255, G=255-<8*ignores>, B=255-<8*ignores>, resulting in a smooth gradient from 0-32 ignores, at which point it's maxed. It would start to become visible at 5, become obvious at 10, really start to jump out at around 15, and just continue to get darker until 32.

Study the folks who are "dark" (and we can set aside the racist undertones of that particular glitch!) and you will find the most interesting people in the community, and certain the most opinionated. Is our goal to have a milquetoast all vanilla community of quiet, polite followers? Or is the purpose of a Bitcoin forum to celebrate bitcoin and explore the very edges of what a paradigm shifting financial innovation it is? If I want boring and predictable there are literally tens of thousands of online communities that will give you nauseatingly boring. I participate here for the specific reason that there is healthy debate, outrageously polarizing opinion and people actually willing to stand up and believe in something, even when they are obviously disturbed and dead wrong, at least they have the huevos to believe in something. The ignore button has become the mouthpiece of the intellectually retarded, and the cowardly refuge of those who are not able to form an opinion, preferring to hide behind the skirts of anonymous finger pointing and name calling. A far more valuable button would be one that shows the interesting "darkies" exactly how many ignores each of the candy ass wimps who use ignore has implemented. Do you have the moral courage to compile a list of who has the most ignores set to complement this uncalled for nonsense?

Do you have the moral courage to compile a list of who has the most ignores set to complement this uncalled for nonsense? Hmmm... your view of this issue may a bit biased as you yourself have quite a few ignores. The ignore button's purpose is to hide posts of people one does not want to see, given the freedom of expression the forum administration approves of, it is a useful option. I have tried no to use it myself until very recently (zyk and reeses) but I am happy I can now avoid reading their posts. I don't quite agree with your first statement regarding the 'dark' people, sure some of them may be interesting, but a lot of them are trolls who are ignored for a reason. EDIT: Hue of the ignore button is simply an indicator of the probability that a certain person is a professional forum troll but one should use other measures to judge a person (read their posts and draw one's own conclusions). Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: LoupGaroux on September 16, 2012, 05:13:18 PM Damn, I forgot my sarcasm button again.
I was being churlish, and poking a stick at authority. I think the entire thing is a silly joke anyway, see my earlier concept on having a "loyalty" button to play opposite this one. Point being that at least there is some good debate on that list, and depriving yourself of it is a shame. Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: theymos on September 16, 2012, 05:22:27 PM I adjusted the thresholds.
Old: Current rules are: - 0.35% of very-established users ignore you: no public highlight, but a range on your posts that only you can see - 0.5% of very-established users ignore you: light highlight - 0.75% of very-established users ignore you: medium highlight - 1% of very-established users ignore you: dark highlight New: Current rules are: - 0.35% of very-established users ignore you: no public highlight, but a range on your posts that only you can see - 0.5% of very-established users ignore you: light highlight - 1% of very-established users ignore you: medium highlight - 1.5% of very-established users ignore you: dark highlight Also, I made the light highlight lighter. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: theymos on September 16, 2012, 05:29:06 PM Your posts are often unnecessarily hostile. I don't blame people for ignoring you. And if someone reads your posts and becomes annoyed, I would like them to see your ignore highlighting and realize they can ignore you rather than start a flame war or complain about how the forum is full of trolls. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: gene on September 17, 2012, 12:48:21 PM The list reveals an interesting pattern of groups being ignored.
1) incoherent posters 2) relentless self-promoters 3) ponzi scheme/fraud whistleblowers I noticed my button get much darker after posting about the scams and scam-enablers (including forum admins). This got much more obvious after I called out Theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102918.msg1179084#msg1179084) for his role (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102918.msg1179147#msg1179147) in the matter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102918.msg1179147#msg1179147) and his admitted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102918.msg1179251#msg1179251) and knowing participation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=107871.msg1180243#msg1180243) in Pirate's ponzi scheme (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108282.msg1181156#msg1181156). If scammer scumbags are using the ignore feature to label those who oppose their scheming, then I leave it to others to decide just how useful the feature is. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: LoupGaroux on September 17, 2012, 01:37:30 PM You raise a very interesting point, so I guess I stand corrected, there is a function for the button.
I can now identify folks that I have respect for, and find their conversation of merit more easily. If you want to call out the scammers and the fraudsters, then you are pretty much somebody I'm willing to read. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of members. Post by: myrkul on September 23, 2012, 08:43:40 AM I just wanted to post something that no one would read. You failed. I read it. ;) It would be interesting feedback for those who are ignored to learn which posts triggered "ignore". It could be because I called someone a fragrant name, that I maligned their vocation, or that they are bigots. That would be a nice feature, but I imagine it would be hard to code.

I have not been scammed or dumb enough to get caught up in Bitcoinica, Pirate, or GLBSE to date. Funny thing though is that I'm the 3rd most ignored person on this entire forum. The biggest scammers like Pirate and Nefario are not ignored at all. So that tells me that people are just aching to be scammed and deserve to be scammed because they choose to listen to scammers like those two and decide to ignore me.

Post by: Raize on October 10, 2012, 06:16:14 PM I have not been scammed or dumb enough to get caught up in Bitcoinica, Pirate, or GLBSE to date. I can offer a reasonable explanation for this. I am noticing that, aside from the scammers or just plain trolling users (SA goons) high on people's ignore lists, there are the self-professed geniuses that act more as a "Captain Hindsight" than a legitimate source of information. Several of us, including myself, actually put our necks out to call scam or say we didn't trust these "investments" a while ago, while those of you getting ignored had minimal things to say and are extremely active in insulting those scammed or assuming conspiracies whereby the victims are part of the scam. I posited the likelihood of pirate's actions being money-laundering or a ponzi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83589.msg921924#msg921924) in the past, while many others act as if they possessed detailed Ponzi/fraud documentation in their hands about it. In fact, smoothie, you even went so far as to insinuate that Pirate was actually just a market manipulator and discourage people from talking about it as a Ponzi or possible money-laundering operation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91508.msg1038917#msg1038917). It's really hard for people to not ignore the Captain Hindsight opinions that are essentially being spammed on the forums today about GLBSE and pirate; you're all repeating the same thing, so you get ignored. I have not yet ignored you, because despite the spam, you still have listened to reason and logic. I can't say the same for many of the others in this thread, they've got more of an SA-goon "gotcha!"-type vibe to them, as if they are proud something has shamed Bitcoin merely because it upsets all the "lolbertarians". The fact so many post so often almost screams "get a life". If anything original was coming from their mouths, I might digress.

I have him on ignore from the times he's been high and posted 50+ weird messages consisting of little but "LOL ;D". He has moments where he is cogent and well-reasoned, but the demon weed, it makes him crazy. I probably have the longest ignore list here because I just give up on some people who also tend to be the ones with post counts over 4,000. Those fall into that "get a life" category of noisemakers that I'll read only if someone quotes the .1% of their posts that aren't empty or insipid. Most of my ignores are because I love to tell people that, not only are they wrong, they are so wrong that I wish their mother had an enema so she would have been loosened up for anal on the night they were conceived. For some reason, people don't like it when I add a little ad hominem to their diet. ROFL!!! LOL!!!

I was thinking about the fairness of this and all and remembering the previous arguments about potential abuse and such, and I wonder if you wouldn't mind implementing the following modifications:
The reason for this would obviously be to combat abuse by sockpuppets (which is what I think happens on a regular basis). People will create a new account, click "ignore" on someone they don't like, then use the ignore color as "ammo" in a discussion about someone being "wrong" in some way. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: theymos on April 22, 2013, 04:21:26 AM Quote when a user on the forum is marked as a scammer, their ignore list is cleared As I've already said, scammers are not especially likely to have "incorrect" ignore lists. Quote when a user on the forum is banned, their ignore list is cleared Alright, banned users are no longer counted for ignore color purposes. Quote (optionally) when a user on the forum has been inactive for a certain period of time (4 months, 1 year, anything), their ignore list is cleared Ignores already lose importance over time due to the increasing member count. Quote People will create a new account, click "ignore" on someone they don't like This won't do anything. You need 100 posts and 100 hours logged in for your ignores to count. Manipulation like that would be expensive, and I'd ban anyone who tried it. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members.

Post by: smoothie on January 28, 2014, 05:40:32 AM So Theymos you got an update on this list? I think it would be best to not share these lists publicly anymore, some are using it as a competition. lol And that would be bad? Oh the irony. I figured it would help to make me more "infamous" as well as others. Didn't seem like Theymos cared about competition given he even put it in terms of me being unseated on the list as "Most ignored user" or whatever you want to call it. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: BadBear on January 28, 2014, 05:59:50 AM Just my opinion, theymos can agree or disagree, IDC.
Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: smoothie on January 29, 2014, 04:12:10 PM Just my opinion, theymos can agree or disagree, IDC. I agree, encouraging people to be disruptive and annoying is not exactly productive. I suggest we do an auto ban for 3 months for people with 50 ignores or more. (just trolling smoothie about the ban, not serious. but thinking being most ignored is cool, is sort of lame.) Or apply the 6 minute restriction between posts after 50 ignores :P Just joking, some of the members with high ignores provide a lot of the interesting discussion on the forum. Yes, some do. But the ones who try to get the "high score" do not really fit this category. It was a joke anyway. It is all subjective to the individual what "annoying" or what "interesting discussion" means. I mean to you "trolling" is where you get called out on your claims and can't back it up or when you don't want to answer a question you divert the conversation to get the attention off of you. Perhaps we should auto ban people who just cry about every little thing. Goat you fit that description. You play the "victim" oh too well. :D Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: greyhawk on January 29, 2014, 04:42:29 PM Perhaps we should auto ban people who just cry about every little thing. Good god, man. The forums would be empty.

Post by: smoothie on January 29, 2014, 11:11:59 PM isn't the ignore button of people like these already glow? I could be wrong but I think that is enough. It is currently disabled. Some of us would like to have that feature back as it helps some of us identify who the established community has rejected. I personally think it helps new members learn who to just not take seriously and leads to a better time for all on the forum. This is esp true in the "wall thread". Lol this is all subjective of who the "community" really is. My ignore count is above 100 but those people do not speak for the community as a whole. Most people who have me on ignore are ones who can't take the truth when it hurts. Yes goat you are one of them. Hence your actions the other day to "ignore" me then to retract that by undoing the ignore option. Lol All in all the ignore feature I think is a funny option to have. Especially when someone has to tell you they are going to put you on ignore. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: Hippie Tech on January 30, 2014, 05:48:40 AM I say, leave it off unless the forum is willing to waste even more server time by making it mandatory, for the person doing the ignoring, to provide a reference quote/post.

These are the people who have been around for a while and are still active. The glowing red is to help n00bs learn who the trolls are and to thus give a warning to not take what they say seriously. Trying to be the most ignored is really an odd thing to do. I sort of wonder if you are pretending that it is a prize because you would be sad to think of it in a different light. Matthew N. Wright the serial scammer also thought being most ignored was a prize. Not sure if there is a connection here or not but you two are the only people I know of who have tried to get that title, or thought it was a good thing. If you missed it Goat it isn't that I think there is a prize to win by being ignored, it IS that I find it FUNNY that people who have ignored me generally ANNOUNCE they are ignoring me as if that will really do anything. All it does is make me laugh at them even more. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members.

Yes we the PEOPLE love when you cry about every little thing. We love it because it is entertaining to watch you do it. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: smoothie on February 01, 2014, 06:13:12 AM Yes we the PEOPLE love when you cry about every little thing. I agree. Saying that I agree with BadBear is not exactly crying. Am I getting trolled again? You can't really be this dumb? Hint: read your past posts for the last two years. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: aminorex on February 02, 2014, 03:32:00 AM Puzzled here. I never see any highlights on Ignore.
Title: Re: [Feature Request] "Ignored by # peoples" besides usernames (10 BTC bounty) Post by: gourmet on February 11, 2014, 11:40:29 PM It doesn't seem possible to see whether people ignored are highlighted or not -- doesn't appear to affect the "unignore" button. That's intentional. If you've ignored them then their posts should be as unobtrusive as possible, with no highlight. This feature was really easy to implement. Other features are not so easy, and I hate messing around with SMF code; I always feel like I'm going to break something in a non-obvious way and introduce a security flaw. I believe it'd be no complicated to highlight both ignore and unignore buttons. One could see then whether the ignored person had reduced (or worsen) their ignored status through the time... Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: gourmet on February 12, 2014, 12:01:43 AM I feel I have to respond : I really am surprised because I mostly try to stay moderate and not be too controversial on these forums. I would never have thought that I would beat Matthew :P I have changed since my SC trolling days and I am free from King RealScam's brainwashing ideology. I also do the punctuation thing on purpose. I think it looks neater that way and easier to read ... Just like using proper English : once you get used to automatically do it, it does not become a pain and it actually helps you. Anyways, I was here when BTC was $0.58 and am here to stay. Y'all should get used to my "brain damaged" punctuation :D It's not like using proper English at all. At least because it's not proper at all. It looks ugly. Proper English can help you. Improper punctuation can not. No, it doesn't look neater, it looks really ugly. And it also works badly: When a line needs to break, a linebreak can be inserted in front of the colon when there's you special space :) and the colon can be moved to the beginning of the next line.. :-))) Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: gourmet on February 12, 2014, 12:07:35 AM Personally I love the fact that 12 people have me on ignore. It proves that I'm doing something right and 12 people are jelly. If it was 1000 people then I'd start to rethink my position. I have said it once and I will say it again : People who use ignore are just that : ignorant ! ;) No. They just don't want to waste their time by reading your s..t. (I can understand MNW quite well. I'd never put him onto my ignore list. But I could easily put you there.) Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: gourmet on February 12, 2014, 12:25:06 AM I don't even understand why people would want to put anyone on an ignore list. I'd love one of the most ignored users to post the greatest bitcoin tip ever. People would then understand how stupid it is to ignore everything said by a person because they once said something you disagree with. You should improve your reasoning. The only truth is that you don't understand. Anyone may have his favourite member who might be massively ignored by others. Is this a reason for me to ignore him also? - No. Can this prevent me from ignoring anyone else (who might not be ignored by anybody but me)? - No. So, your reason is no reason... Sure, disagreement is not a reason for ignoring, not for me at least. I usually don't ignore someone for saying something stupid once. But when they assure me by repeating their point no-point... (But there are some posts that are so stupid that I can't find any hope that it could change in the future..) :-) Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members. Post by: gourmet on February 12, 2014, 12:45:10 AM When people call you a troll for making posts they disagree with and put you on their ignore list for replying to people who took the time to respond to your comments, the whole system becomes meaningless and just encourages circle-jerks. I don't even understand why people would want to put anyone on an ignore list. I'd love one of the most ignored users to post the greatest bitcoin tip ever. People would then understand how stupid it is to ignore everything said by a person because they once said something you disagree with. + 2-8 My list began to grow thanks to some, not so understanding, folks who didn't like me asking for proof that DGM repays all that it takes. Those that choose to ignore should be required to explain why and have a tally or list of those they have blacklisted. Likewise, those being ignored should know these people are so they can stand up for themselves if necc. OK you 10-16, mostly DGM luvin noobs ! Get back into your cages ! ;D HT xD update.. Make that 10-15.. Its about time I cleaned my monitor. :P Should we really be obliged to either read all the emanations of your ill brain or otherwise explain why we aren't doing so? :-)))))) Fortunately, it's still our decision whom we'll be reading and whom perhaps ignoring. A private decision, luckily. Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members.

People would then understand how stupid it is to ignore everything said by a person because they once said something you disagree with. You certainly understand the mechanism, but I must say at this point I see it at as an honor that some people find my posts so annoying that they absolutely do not want to see them ever again. Only certain kind of ideological minded people done that, and there are alot of them on this forum. So I recently decided to fully commit myself to their expectations and changed my forum appearance accordingly. Also smoothie hasn't posted as much recently so I might have overtaken him by now. :) I'm sure there's no ideology in most cases. (Maybe there's some on your side?) But some people's posts are simply too annoying to read. Yes, and I've added some people to my list because they both have nothing real to say and they insert annoying colored ads in their signatures.. And they often post just for to make the ads appear and they be paid for them... Title: Re: [Feature added] Color besides usernames for Ignored by % of established members.
