“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.

I just read Reply #50. Now I know what precipitated all this nonsense.

My sympathy.

[Mr. Silverback]

Other forums are still way behind FR on functionality. For FR to imitate them is like Elvis spending 1957 touring with a big band and singing Glenn Miller tunes.

I've been ignoring moderators of ALL persuations here since 1997 !!

Now again, please stop posting to me.

Hey since you sometimes ZZZAP people and/or posts shouldn’t you be called the Moder-nator? Modernator? Kind of a moderate and more eco-friendly terminator?

[Finny]

If it’s workable, great. If not, or if it’s a big hassle ... no big deal! It’s not that important. Just a small “I wish” that I have from time to time.

Never been on a site with an ‘ignore’ button, how does that work?
________________
I know of one site that uses flags. You don’t get the flag button until you have been there for a certain time and have a certain amount of posts. If someone posts, people can flag it. It automatically deletes the post or sends it to the mods to review. It is far superior to mods. It uses the posters to alert the mods. You can set the flag at any number you want. For instance, say it is set to 25 flags. If 25 different people flag a post, you can be fairly certain, the post deserved to be flagged.
It helps get rid of offensive posts that may end up sitting there if nobody sees them or reports them. I personally like the flag button. It’s fast and it works. The mods on the forum love it. It makes their job a hell of a lot easier.
I couldn’t care less if FR chooses not to have things like that. I personally think it makes it easier to manage forums and requires less work for the mods.

However . . .

some of us . . . are pretty

atypical

of most anyone . . . of any group . . . .

Thankfully, God loves us anyway.

Wow, Tip O'Neill came back to life with flippers.

“And this Admin Mod-Ratur guy, is that an islamic name?”

Jihadist moles in FR? Say it isn’t so!

[MaryFromMichigan]

And I’m His favorite.

[Finny]

Yep, you’re right. It’s really only the long posts that take more than a screen (and I’m guilty of posting more than my share of such tomes!) to see the bottom. And there aren’t many of those.

[Mr. Silverback]

Just the ping feature makes FR better than any other forum I post to. Canned forums suck.

Reliant Stadium . . . in San Diego???

[Quix]

Wow. A vanity post from the Admin Moderator. Next, you’ll be writing an opus.

No. I think the OhPuss threads are a Viking Kitty department.

[Gabz]

We’re fun folks, really!!!!!

And we never get into trouble for hijacking THAT thread!!!!!!

[mojitojoe]

TY for the ping. No comment.

[Freedom2specul8]

I can’t imagine *you* being on anyone’s ignore list! ~cheers!~

[Rocky]

LOL! I almost died laughing at your “Butthurt Report”.
