“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.

ROFL! No, I never heard that. Is Chuck Norris an Admin Mod???

Hey! I gotcher "ignore button" RIGHT HERE!

[P.O.E.]

[autumnraine]

IBTZ!!!

As a highly skilled software developer, I am here to tell you, the technology to implement ‘ignore’ features simply does not exist.

I just posted twice to a Romney supporter who whined and demanded that a fellow FReeper stop harassing her ... telling her that she and her ilk (supporters of Romney.....

I know who you are talking about and not only will she demand that you stop posting to her but not to post on her thread.

Maybe I am wrong but I was of the notion that anyone could post a reply on any open thread as long as they follow the rules. If not, it would be a pretty good way to stifle other opinions. Yep, even mild mannered Graybeard has been told, "stop posting to me".

If you can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen! (I just made that up on the spot. Pretty catchy huh?

By the way, I never use lame sarcasm tags.

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

[humblegunner]

Funniest post yet! ;)

I was being series!

[Sparko]

what’s wrong with using a feaute
Epic feaute!
A guy asking for a feaute, the absence of which works toward weeding out wussies who yearn for the aforementioned feaute.

I may go far afield at times, but never THAT far.

Maybe we need some women to post pics of themselves on this thread!!!:)

Fanfan looks great in fishnets nylons;)

I promise to quit ‘stalking’ people, this should cut down on about 60 percent of it.

So... lmr... what are you wearing?

[mnehring]

I’ve been on several forums (actually ran one years and years ago) with this feature. It is, to say the least, a PITA. You make a post and you see a lot of replies with content that says ‘blocked’ and you just look like you are talking to yourself.

[whatisthetruth]

Excellent! How do we install that program on FR?

[Gator113]

~~~Don’t post threads like this for me to read~~~

This is your last warning.

;>)

[Bahbah]

Imagine the audacity of hubris!

Shocking, just shocking.

[Graybeard58]

That's is part of Jim's contribution to this thread.

"That's is"? Sober up dude or dudette as the case may be.

[MileHi]

Wow. You WANT a fag to post to you?

Don’t post to me....

[joejm65]

‘People who complain about stuff they know nothing of are always an amusement.’

Now you’re an expert on what I know and don’t know? Nah...

[spectre]

But back in the good old days, before people cry babied to the mods..we used to wait till the heavy weights came in to clean people's clocks. God, it was a sight to behold!

Most of the trolls left on their own accord..:)
