“Do not post to me” - Repost

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.

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

You remember those? Things were great.

Unfortunately, the moderators at the time usually threw out the baby with the bathwater.

For instance, muslims and their sympathizers would arrive as teams and zero in on someone effectively posting against the killer cult, and arranged to get rid of them. Simply by filing multiple complaints of abusive posts simultaneously.

Fortunately we seem to have a more savvy set of moderators now.

Never been on a site with an ‘ignore’ button, how does that work?

First, you go to the doctor and have your testicles removed...

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

You have stalkers? Who woulda thunk?

“I always laughed when one of them was closed for “childish behavior”

You want to see childish behavior and a thread pulled? Post an article like this and see how long it stands:

Suspected MILF rebels kill 2 farmers

COTABATO, Philippines (Xinhua) – Suspected Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) militants attacked and killed two farmers in North Cotabato province, police said today.

An undetermined number of suspected MILF rebels yesterday shot dead Arnie Cadiao, 40; and Mario Casabio, 39, in a remote village in Kabacan town, North Cotabato, according to police chief Inspector Franklin Anito.

Anito said the victims died on the spot.

“There’s an operation to track down the attackers,” the police official said.

So I’d like it if Free Republic’s forum had a “To” and “From” line at the TOP of posts,

I like that idea, I'm not sure it's workable.

Dunno. One line of code. Is it useful enough to warrant a change?

One of the bigger weaknesses with canned forum software is that lack of ability to track replies on threads.

I am a member of a religious denomination forum, they have that "ignore" function but if you reply to an article and someone replies to your reply, you have to go back to the original reply to see if anyone answered you. It's a total mess and I don't waste much time there.

Your list has certainly grown and I am only up to 77. Put me on it because I’m about tell you to stop whining.

[Publius6961]

OK newbie.

I hope you have asbestos underwear.

Popcorn time.

[bcsco]

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

Yeah, I noticed it after I posted, mods are only nearly perfect.

Oh, good. Now I feel. I'm always doing.

Reminds me of the time some years ago when a newbie said to Jim Robinson “Who the hell do you think you are?”

It was a Saturday night and we were dying waiting for the response.

I want to know who the heck is General Chat.

I think he had something do do with the Dalai Lama being snubbed by the magic muslim.

I don't care who you are, that right there would be a great tagline.
