It seems there is a sudden upswing in ping list. Please don't take me wrong I'm on a few of them and I enjoy them. However when a person starts recieving whole list pings to a same thread 4 times for that same thread then I consider that to be abuse.
Most of us in here if we want off a ping list do so by posting the request in the thread and the issue is then settled. The person may have many reasons for doing so like getting pings to topics they do not want to pinged to.
In the last couple of days it seems there has been someone who refuses to take a hint even after multiple request on threads asking for name removal from the ping list. Is the person not seeing them? No I really don't think so as this person when someone request to be put on the list replies on the thread they are added.
The ping list should be a one time per thread event. If not such as the case now three threads equals 12 pings to all on the list. I think it's clear to see the problem it creates. Self search becomes bogged down.
I have tried to resolve this issue without resorting to this post. I can not just ignore 12 plus pings a day to just three different threads all from one freeper doing the runaway pings. To all others and you know who you are this is in no way directed at you or your list in any way.

Is that all you ever think about?
Not all...
To: RonDog
Thanks for the ping. I am only on a couple of lists and try to be careful what threads I call people to. Nopardons, who is also on this thread, asked to be removed from a list I rarely use. The removal was immediate but the request was rude. Requesting to be removed is fine but it needs to be done politely. Then a flame war insued about whether or not there was pinging going on. Given these circumstances, I find the post on this thread by this particular freeper funny.

I love the ping list that I'm on. It points me to articles I like and would miss because I'm at work all day. Needless to say, I don't get to post much. Thanks, MeeknMing!
To: jrewingjr
Thanks for the pictures -- they are adoreable.
I don't want someone to take me off their ping list unless I ask because usually I read what I am sent even when I don't reply. Keeps you from missing something IHMO!
To: cva66snipe
A better title for this thread may have been, "Lord Of The Pings". :-)
To: connectthedots;davidosborne
davidosborne, take me off your ping list.Same here.
I spend enough time on FR that I don't need to be on any "ping" lists. If there's a thread that interests me, I'll find it.
Thank you.
To: cva66snipe
I enjoy being PING'd. Makes me feel wanted. For victory & freedom!!!
To: xJones;Arthur_McGowan
I can't believe nobody's pinged you yet.LOL, that's the first person I thought of when I saw this thread.
He was complaining last summer that his "self search" was overwhelmed with pings lists.
I laughed then, but now I think I understand what he was talking about.
