“Do not post to me”

Free Republic ^ | 8/28/07 | 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.

Actually not much - I did check to see exactly how irritating the guy might have been - A search for FReeper "martinonavratilovo" off the search page "Find User" yielded a single post:

Where he said: Wow. They have a video and everything.

But checking "In forum" returns "Nobody by that name".

Weird that that single post remains. Really all I did is a status check but since you apparently have the pull to yank a FReeper for a single innocuous post I figured I give you the good news to maybe stay on your good side. ;-)

I’ve never had a problem with this.

LOL! You certainly are a good sport.

It was its freepmails in support of hillary.

You bad. *giggle* In all seriousness, I think that person did it by FRmail not on open forum. A defender of the hildabeast he was.

At Youtube I can block a particular person's response. I have the ability to censor responses to my postings. I have the ability to remove responses I don't think are appropriate.

We need a debate on implementing this same ability here.

[higgmeister]

Gee, now you tell me!

[JUMPIN JEHOSPOHAT]

JUMPIN JEHOSPOHAT!!!! Well, I nevah!!!!

Well, once I did.

So we can pretend that no one disagrees with us?

So we can post propaganda with no dissension?

You don't really want that do you?

You have won the Nigerian National Lottery, a prize worth 800 gazillion dollars. In order to make the transfer of funds, the winner will need to give permission to set up a bank account and the initial account will require $2,000 in a cashiers check with the To: left blank, as our account facilitators are chosen randomly and one has not been yet assigned. If you would kindly respond to this post, we can send you further information of where to send said cashier's check, and additional contact information to receive your prize once the cashier's check clears.

Sincerely,
Maurice Nguma
Grand Nigerian Lottery Poobah

Why would someone take part in a forum if they don’t want people to respond to them???

Maybe they should start a blog and turn off comments if they only want to read their own words?

[djf]

More than that!!

[listenhillary]

We need to toughen up and deal with it.

``Ping’’ is one of the most useful network debugging tools available. It takes its name from a submarine sonar search - you send a short sound burst and listen for an echo - a ping - coming back.

Does this mean,
We all live in a yellow submarine?
A yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine.........

I thought Admin Moderators were all powerful? Oh well...

OK OK! Just kidding! Don’t Zot me!!! :P

"Newman!" "A+bert!"

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

I’ve been here a while and never had that problem.

Hey, you and I have gone a few rounds on some issues, but we both are in the same place about Julie-Annie (can't stand him)... never heard you whine about heated argument...

[Old_Mil]

I’m actually glad that you guys have taken this stance. Most of the time I’ve seen the “don’t post to me” rule used, it’s because someone (usually someone less than conservative to begin with) loses a debate with a conservative. They then hide behind this rule to spread their less than conservative views on other threads free from rebuke.
