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..

do you think they'd let us have it for just one night? If we're reeeeeally good and tidy up our old threads?

reelingintheyears · 12/09/2011 23:08

But if someone was 'hidden',the subsequent comments wouldn't make sense.

StealthPolarBear · 12/09/2011 23:09

exactly! After all a giant albatross in a toupee never did anyone any harm, as my dear old gran used to say.

While I'm at it, I would like a poll function on MN. Would be V useful for AIBU to tally up at the end of the day Grin

There's only one poster who gets my goat but she's not here so much any more and i try my best to sit on my hands and ignore her.

OvO · 12/09/2011 23:16

I would be great is if a certain number of people hide you then MNHQ ban you and send you a 'sorry but you are a fuckwit as voted for by MN members'. C'mon, you'd all love that surely?!

OvO · 12/09/2011 23:17

'It' not 'I'
I'm definitely not great.

I think everyone should post their shitlist. C'mon, what are you all waiting for, it'll make a lovely thread!

JarethTheGoblinKing · 12/09/2011 23:20

OvO - yes, good idea! When you hide someone MN could take a poll, like when you delete an app on your phone:
Why would you prefer this poster to be hidden?

  • I don't need this poster any more
  • I don't wand this poster anymore
  • I need space in my brain for MN posts that are actually amusing/useful
  • I hate you.

You forgot one
-SHE hid ME first

Kayano · 12/09/2011 23:22

I think I would be on a lot of Shit lists because the way my mind works seems to be at odds with the rest of the world and I feel IABU ... Like all of the time Grin

BimboNo5 · 12/09/2011 23:23

This thread is a bit shitty imho, its like a ner ner ner ner ner I dont like someone but im not telling you who....type thread, childish and as for hiding people, in RL we encounter people we dont rub along with well all the time, how do we hide them? We dont, we act mature and get on with life.

Sorry, rant over.

OvO · 12/09/2011 23:24

Though obviously I would abuse such a function and make 50 accounts to hide Stealth people on my shit list and get then banned. Grin

Bimbo... I had one of these
People at work irl. I reported her and got her demoted and she is clinging to her job with her fingernails. I did try to hide her away from me lol

StealthPolarBear · 12/09/2011 23:24
Shock hides OvO
OvO · 12/09/2011 23:26

No, in RL we avoid at all costs. So kind of like hiding. Grin

Personally I'm just going with staying in my house at all times but unfortunately I can't hide my DH or DC.

OvO · 12/09/2011 23:27

I love you really, Stealth.

Ahh now see, what if you hide someone and then they realise what a twat they've been and post to say how wrong they were and how fabulous you are? You'd never know!

BimboNo5 I haven't hinted or anything, no clues, it's not a 'guess which poster I can't fucking stand' thread.

I've seen threads about this topic in site stuff and nothing has happened yet, so thought I'd start one here to gauge actual opinion on the matter.

IRL I just pray for the day she retires Grin

BimboNo5 · 12/09/2011 23:30

But its a public forum sadly, other people CAN butt in so to speak!

OvO · 12/09/2011 23:31

I don't really want to have people banned if a certain number hide you. It was a silliness.

Anyway you know you'd end up unhiding them when you see lots of 'OMG xxxx cant believe you just said that' type posts, curiosity would get the better of you (as it would me!)
