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.

Actually, no particular order was intended.
Of all people you should have on your "don't ping list" - Arthur McGowen. LOL!
As long as we're griping here, one particularly obnoxious use of the ping list is when some darn fool who's behind in a one-on-one argument has to bring in backup via the Ping List. Usually, his backup people are just as dense and ignorant as he. When he's still losing the argument five threads and a thousand posts later, he resorts to the ABUSE button in a feeble attempt to stifle the debate.You are as dishonest as always. Can you show me where I’ve used my ping list in an argument? For a change, for the first time actually, could you back up any one of your claims about me? Show me where I've used my ping list in an argument. Its not hard, my list starts with "father_elijah; Antoninus; aposiopetic; . . . " You can search my posts here: hereYou know who you are! (patent, sinkspur, lemonhead, and their whole dang idiotic ping list!)
By the way, nice of you to slam me yet again without being man enough to say it to me. If you weren't such a bitter old type I would suggest that if you don't have the decency to behave civilly, you should at least ping the other people you slammed.
What kind of so called Christian repeatedly acts like you do, lieing and calling people names behind their backs?

I am going to go sit the cybercorner and cyberpout.
