“Do not post to me” - Repost

Free Republic | 10/06/09 | Admin Moderator

[Admin Moderator]

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

First thread.

We are still receiving ARs from people who don't like the responses they on threads. If you don't want to be on a pinglist, fine, ask to be removed, but do not expect us to enforce a "do no post to me" demand.

Ignore the post, ignore the poster.

[Sir Gawain]

No you first!

[Nervous Tick]

You signed up eight years ago just to post this vanity?

[mnehring]

Jeeze, don’t you mods search, you just posted this here.

Sometimes stalkers are amusing.

Mine are. It never occurred to me to cry about it.

You guys do a great job, it is appreciated.

[muir_redwoods]

If one can’t take the typical “harassment” one might encounter here without a moderator, real life is going to be a b!tch

[Krodg]

I found my ignore option...it’s located on the right side and all I need to do is scroll down. Works like a charm!

[OSHA]

Please put me on the “don’t post to me” ping list.

Thanks

[Old Sarge]

This could be hugh. And I am unanimous in this...

[spectre]

Besides that, the old FR had some amazing flame wars...Those were the days!

It shall be as you say. I have always been of the opinion that this wonderful forum is Jim Robinson’s to run as he sees fit, and I am more than happy to obey the rules he sets. :)

[NotSoModerate]

I wonder if I’ve been in a “do not post to me” request?

[Billthedrill]

You were no help at all when that team of scantily-clad supermodels parachuted in and kidnapped me.

I want to thank you for that.

>> Sometimes stalkers are amusing.

I don’t have any friends — can you tell me how I can get me one of these stalkers?

[70times7]

Both of you just stop it!

[GQuagmire]

More vanity? O the hugh manatee!

[SE Mom]

Taking myself too seriously is always a sign I need to go out and walk the dog.

Hint: You don’t have to reply to posts addressed to you:)

[derllak]

Can’t we all just hold hands and get along?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Post Misty for Me...

[Deb]

Leave him ALONE!!!

[Doogle]

*starting chant*..we need a bozo Czar

[70times7]

Please put me on the “don’t post to me” ping list.

You have been on it for around 6 years now.

[airborne]

Just what we need.

Another vanity post.

[Syncro]

Thank goodness you are a mod.

No one will tell you you left a word out of your first sentence in post #1.

One “grammar police” poster already let it slide.

[Sparko]

“*starting chant*..we need a bozo Czar”

But, but, we have the Bozo-in-Chief.

[AppyPappy]

STOP POTING TO ME!!!

[Revolting cat!]

While we're at it, can you ask classygreeneyedblonde to start posting to me?. Thanks in advance.

[Rebelbase]

[70times7]

*starting chant*..we need a bozo Czar

Isn't that pretty much all of them?

[spectre]

If you two don't knock it off...I'm gonna tattle to the mod squad!!!

[Cedric]

Thanks to this policy, I’m still here!

[SoDak]

At least you have stalkers. Count your blessings.

I saw that too! Spell check does not find left out words.

[mnehring]

It doesn’t count when he stalks himself.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Reminds me of the "Mommy, he hit me" complainers when I was a kid.

[MARTIAL MONK]

You talkin' to me?

[paulycy]

Can I still post to myself? I’m the only one on my ping list.

[nufsed]

When someone posts to All, could you leave me off the list?

Speaking of which, we have an unwritten rule. Do not throw rocks at bullies and cry to mommy and daddy when they throw some back.

I have tried a bozo filter. The grounds went right through it and the big tuft of red hair was a pain to push into the that plastic cup thing. The coffee was awful. I don't recommend it.

[Syncro]

Well, let's keep it to ourselves.

Maybe have our posts removed?

LOL

There’s nothing wrong with providing software with ‘ignore’ capabilities. The ‘get some thick skin’ nonsense is a Mickey Mouse way of saying ‘we don’t know how to do it’. There should be a way to filter (or block) posters that I don’t want to hear from. If it takes an extra Freepathon to pay for it, so be it. This is the 21st century, stop making it sound like putting up with a few persistant assholes is some kind of noble exercise. It is not.
