"Oh, no. Woe is me, for After Eight is going to use the ignore feature to block me and others. How ever shall we live? "

Happily, I suspect.

As happily as I not having to read you.

Actually, I already feel elated.

I'm sure that's just your Lipitor kicking in.

Nope. Just giddy anticipation.

I understand your consternation, though. The class clown is soon going to lose his captive audience.

Ridi, pagliaccio.

Unlike you, I don't post for "an audience".

So adios, puta.

You want to troll and never be called on it? Calling out your troll behavior is neither bullying nor intolerance.

having an opinion different from King Namo is not trolling.
standing up to youre bullying is not trolling

Sorry, try again.

incorrectly identifying namo as a king when he's most definitely a queen is troll-ish.

Presumably, more civil conversations

A question: If someone I've blocked starts a thread, will the thread never show up for me, despite who else posts in it?

[AEA AGMA SM]

Of the very very small number of people I would "ignore" I don't think I've ever seen one of them start a thread that's of any value, so I don't think it would be much of an issue.

[Rob]

Posted: 8/23/13 at 11:32am

We're going to offer the choice to block threads started by someone, posts by someone, or both.

Additionally, as in the past, if you've just blocked posts, when you go to the 'reply' page, you will see posts you've blocked which is an easy way to see before replying if you're missing anything.

If there's a few posters that would like to help test this functionality, please shoot me a PM as it's almost ready.

i think you should enable a few "superusers" who have the ability ignore someone by banishing them to the phantom zone to be tortured by watching michael shannon as zod.

queryb falied becauseUnknown column 'wbtwo.topicstartedbyfirst' in 'where clause'

Anyone else getting this when trying to access the off topic board? I figure it has something to do with reinstating/upgrading the ignore feature.

I tried connecting my account to Facebook a couple years ago and it really messed up my account. Rob was able to get me access back to my BWW account, but I haven't been able to edit my posts since that time. I am wondering if the same issue that won't let me edit posts is now not letting me see the OT board.

I can't access the OT board, either.

Thanks for not cutting me off papa.

*shakes fist weakly at Papa*

Also, my inner orthographer is upset that "failed" is misspelled in the code.

O/T board should be back.

Rob, is the Ignore functionality permanent, or can it be undone at a later time?

Just pondering, now that this clearly is in the works, what amount of intolerable trollery my standards should be calibrated to for pulling that trigger.
