Question

Help answer this question below.

I'd like to see AB add an IGNORE button for each user. If I choose ignore on someone I would not see their answers or questions. This is similar to what you find in forums. It would use profile so name changes w/not matter. Should we ask for this?

    no, that will take away the idea of an 'open forum'. we are here to learn and help, other peoples views are important to this! some people just need to learn to pull there heads in!

    that seems to be a great idea, it would also cut down on a lot of the battles between AB'ers.

    Yes, indeed...then we could block trolls and people with unwanted comments/answers and questions.

    Sounds like a decent idea.
    If used properly, that could really help with damage control when there's trolling going on.

    But wouldn't it get a little complicated if a user whom you hadn't chosen to ignore posted something in response to something posted by a user whom you had?

    I think this would be a good way to initially deal with people like Chubb. :)

    No.
    This has been asked for and rejected many times before. The reasoning being just because you have a disagreement with Mr A today or on thread 1, does not mean that he will agree with you next week or on thread 5.

    There are many people I have had this situation with, once 4 of us all got PB'd due to the heated "discussion" but I now speak to and interact with these people with no problems at all.

    Great idea in principle. Not sure how it would work in practise, though. What if you chose 'Ignore' for someone who 'converted' and became a useful contributing member after they realised that this site is not just a chat site?

    Surely one has a choice already to Ignore the answers/questions that one "Sees".. no need to read them if you don't want to? Just ignore and move on x

  • Yes. Most definitely.

    This is a standard feature on most discussion boards. It puzzles me why AB doesn't have it.

    No, I don't think that's a good idea because if you ask a question, that might be the only person that gives you a good answer. Why block information that could help you. And besides, there are enough glitches here to deal with and fix before adding new things.

    Yes. Before my answer may have been no, but I definitely do see a use for this as of late.
