“Do not post to me” - Repost
Free Republic | 10/06/09 | Admin Moderator

Posted on 10/06/2009 3:55:51 PM PDT by 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.

can you tell me how I can get me one of these stalkers?

I wish I knew how I did it.

I'd probably knock it off.

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.

So there's a feature you'd like and you want other people to pay for it. Are you sure you're on the right forum?

Wow! Do I ever AGREE!!!!

Government school defenders use this whiny, “Don't post to me ever again!” tactic to shut down dissent!

It's all about control. I figure if they haven't got thick skin don't open Free Republic.

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

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

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

Okay.

We are still receiving ARs from people who don't like the responses they on threads

The last time someone responded "they on threads" to me I had them dipped in a tub of hot glue ... problem solved.

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

Good point.

I've been on FR for over 10 years now and in all of that time I have ARed only twice. Both times I was reporting the same stupid guy. He's been around FR since 1999-9-21. I can't believe they still put up w/ him.

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

Everytime you ping yourself, all the Angels cry.

“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.”

I have been here since Oct 5, 2001 under another handle.

I also have a deep appreciation for this particular custom software as well as what it takes to support a forum as moderator.

So I have an idea, since you have been here so-o-o long, why don't you volunteer to do the extra coding on this custom software or put up several thousand dollars quarterly in FReepathons and maybe “Mickey Mouse” will jump right on it.

I don't need Big Brother to take me of me, I can take care of any poster that posts to me whether I like the post or not.

Yelling to Mommy to come to help you handle a poster you don't like is lame. Welcome to the real world. This is life.
