“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 am NOT certain its humblegunner but a regular will throw out things like this - On a Limbaugh thread: “Is that blowhard still alive?”

That's albaby's line. He stole it from me.

[whatisthetruth]

This thread is useless without pictures.

"Well, aren't you just special?"

[GQuagmire]

what’s wrong with using a feaute that’s been present...

The lack of grammar skills on this thread is embarrassing.....

[fanfan]

Wait.

You said I should please ingore?

How rude! I’m calling the mods!

;-)

[70times7]

Nah, the jerk I reported has not been here longer than me.

[joejm65]

‘OH! OH! Mister Admin Moderator! I know the answer! It’s called banning! Can I nominate someone?’

Nope. I never used the word ‘ban’. That’s up to the moderators. But, you knew that...

[Navy Patriot]

See #89.

[brytlea]

I would actually like to know where the “throw rocks” button is...I’ve wanted to do it a couple of times.

[Bahbah]

LOL.

You’re posting to ME!!!!

[Tamzee]

Not perfect, only MOSTLY perfect :-)

[Two Kids' Dad]

1999??? Psssshhhh! Newbie!!!

‘The lack of grammar skills on this thread is embarrassing.....’

The grammar was fine. The spelling wasn’t. And if you’ve never made a spelling mistake, then congratulations, you’re special.

we need a bozo Czar

We have one in the White House

[mnehring]

Did you ask nicely about the availability or possibility first or did you just now shoot off your mouth off about it?

How about making a business case and politely requesting it to the mods, Jim or whoever handles all that here?

[Billthedrill]

“I want” doesn’t impress me much. “I will” does. Should I expect to see your name on the monthly donors list this time around?

[khnyny]

Don’t worry, things will pick up.:)

[Sparko]

“I know where I am. Everyone who donates one penny to FR pays for a format that we all deal with whether we like it or not. Maybe it won’t cost much at all to implement a filter! Who knows? Well, we won’t, because no one is gonna spend 10 seconds looking into it.”

I am going to give you a clue, bub.
(Climbing on soapbox)

This software - despite your perceptions that it lacks the bells and whistles of Facebook or MyButt such as the exalted BOZO filter is pretty damn good. It allows a user to know when he is pinged and can follow threads of discussions within posts to their ultimate end.

There is little or no canned forum software that does that. Been there, done that.

The support required behind the scenes to monitor posts and signups is enough to drive most adults slowly nuts. Been there, done that.

Customizing the software to allow bozo filters would add a layer of complexity that I expect the current management has already investigated and dropped.

People who complain about stuff they know nothing of are always an amusement. This is your lucky day, you are almost on my auto-bozo filter.

“I want” doesn’t impress me much. “I will” does. Should I ‘expect to see your name on the monthly donors list this time around?’

Sure.

[Zakeet]

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

I guess I'm one heck of a wimp because I'd give almost anything to filter this a$$clown back to Kenya.

[Drew68]

While we're at it, can you ask classygreeneyedblonde to start posting to me?. Thanks in advance.

One CGEB coming up!
