Argh. Every so often there is a really infuriating, broken record type poster who's on every single bloody thread, I wish I could just hide them..

I know this has been done before but argh..

I'm not saying it is, or who it isn't, so don't start all that rubbish.Wink

It's not like I can hide certain threads because this poster is everywhere..

Is it me? I'm very boring/annoying/repetitive.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 12/09/2011 22:04

Everywhere? Oh shit, it IS me.

Well, if so, feel free to tell me. I prefer to know where I stand Grin

Type Hmm if the poster in question has actually posted here.

:o

Thanks UsingMainlySpoons

MNHQ- how about a hide poster function with a maximum quota of 3, then that would minimise confusion?

I've done the same, KaFayOlay. Grin

I've always thought it was over the top to want to hide posters, afterall you can just ignore their posts. But I can think of about 6 I would hide at the moment.

we have this on anther forum i frequent, if you ignore a poster when they post your simply get 'you have chosen to ignore this poster' instead of what they said, it works fine, doesnt cause any problems, but i am too nosey to ignore anyone anyway Grin

JarethTheGoblinKing · 12/09/2011 22:13

I like the idea of a quota - it would be like when you have a veg box but you can't stand jerusalem artichokes.

I wish I could just ignore certain posts, but the I don't read who's written a post when I'm scanning through a thread. However, when I get to a post my this person I check the name and yes, it's her.. Grin

Trillian - exactly.

StealthPolarBear · 12/09/2011 22:15

wonder how it could work with name changes
If you want to post something vile, you only have to NC and everyone sees

AgentZigzag · 12/09/2011 22:17

Actually, I've just changed my mind and thought of a couple of posters it could be useful for Grin

StealthPolarBear · 12/09/2011 22:18

u wuv me lots an lots dontcha AZZ?

RedRubyBlue · 12/09/2011 22:20

I use the 'ignore' post on Amazon for a really nasty and horrible person that haunts every bloody thread.

I don't think I would find a use for it on MN though.

When the shit has hit the fan I been astounded by the level of support on here.

There are the odd comments that are Hmm but on the whole....you lot have seen me through some very dark times and have made me spit tea/wine over the screen with laughter.

I thank you Smile

TrillianAstra · 12/09/2011 22:20

Or you NC to post something vile:

You: What was that? What are you all talking about?
Everyone else: New poster with name fluffyhunnymummy said some vile things
You: How come I didn't see it then? Oh, it must be Stealth'sTopEnemy because she's the only person I have hidden
Everyone else: OMG Stealth'sTopEnemy I don't believe you said that!

AgentZigzag · 12/09/2011 22:21

Hehe lots and lots and lots SPB Grin

Kayano · 12/09/2011 22:22

To say

Just want to post to see if I get 'the look' lol
