When i see a poster I dislike my eyes sort of glaze over and their post is blurred for me

That's like a super power.

The only time I AS is when I don't recognise the poster and the thread reads as bollocks. 99% it's a "brand new poster" so I just report it and don't bother reading.

MsGameandWatching · 26/08/2017 12:02

You have to be a weird over invested Stalker to advance search a poster surely?

I'd say so but it happens quite a lot.

ibbleobbleblackbubble · 26/08/2017 12:00

as for Keeping notes on someone's post history .......well that's a different order of magnitude of weird stalker behaviour

Actually did laugh out loud at the confusion over AC. I just call it DYAC to get over any confusion (but no one else needs to do that! and I'm sure there are people who don't know what that means either!) Grin

I go through Active threads and hide any that I'm not interested in,makes for a tidier phoneGrin

Pagwatch · 26/08/2017 11:46

I don't hide threads anymore. I used to but can't be arsed now.
I don't as posters either.
After my first ten years posting I developed the ability to ignore posters who annoy me.

Oblomov17 · 26/08/2017 11:37

I don't hide threads. And I don't do AS on posters. Who has time? I just read what they have written on that particular thread.

Why did I think you were in Scotland?

PacificDogwod · 26/08/2017 11:29

Christina, good grief, you got what I was saying in spite of my utter inability to type sensibly this morning and AC Not Helping!!

Eyes. I roll my eyes

I don't often advance search posters - which is why I often don't 'recognise' people I've previously conversed with. I'd rather take a post at face value than think 'oh, must agree with this one as we got on on another thread' or 'the caw!! she was awful on this thread so lets take her down a peg' Grin

I am easy to get along with most of the time

Totally agree

MsGameandWatching · 26/08/2017 11:23

Well cote often I do. You could alway do an AS to check. Sometimes though I need to remove myself and that's how I do it.

I don't tend to hide thread but I often roll my owns and back out slowly Grin

BeyondLimitsAndWhatever · 26/08/2017 11:21

I can probably count threads I've hidden in eight years on one hand Grin

CoteDAzur · 26/08/2017 11:18

"I plop my opinion down, rush straight to "active" and hide the thread 😁 I thought everyone did that?"

No that's certainly not usual practice.

If you can't be arsed to engage in a discussion, don't post. People waste their time writing replies that you will never read.

I think that's the most sensible, to-the-point comment I've read so far (and I've been lurking here and on Reddit through it all)

MsGameandWatching · 26/08/2017 11:15

Does anyone actually use "hide thread" and manage not to peek? grin

Oh yes indeed! If I know a row will ensue and I can't be arsed but still want my say then I plop my opinion down, rush straight to "active" and hide the thread 😁 I thought everyone did that?
