View Full Version : I?m on a mission
With all of the doom and gloom, negativity, conspiracy theory, over opinionated, panicky, and general irritability going on around here these days, I?ve decided to go on a mission.
A sniping mission of sorts.
Anyone that I find mildly annoying or highly intolerable will be added to my block/ignore list.
I?ve already scored a couple of easy victims and now I may resort to reading some of the longer posts to weed out my next victims.
Stay safe everyone.

I'm on a mission to homeless depot, wish me luck.
Best of luck. Hopefully you are referring to a hardware store trip and not alluding to some sort of dire personal financial crisis.
I don?t read between the lines well.

Or maybe just merge it with Bored thread...
Man, this is like baiting a field.
I may not not have to look for people to block. They might just come to me.

I thought that this was going to be a rant thread. Basically 1 outta 10 at this point.
Oh, it's not a rant.
I will be methodically eliminating anyone that I happen to think is a donkey over the next several weeks.
I will fully admit that the large majority of you will likely survive. Even those elderly people with pre existing conditions likely won't notice any unusual symptoms and will come away unscathed.
For some of you though, your future posts will fall upon death ears as you sit idly on my ignore list.
I don't know I Can block conspiracy tin foil wearing people. They strongly believe that, and even science nor data cannot convince them.
If someone believe homosexual is correct, and hetrosexual is INCORRECT with many articles from homosexual sociologist, anthropologist, and biologist, I don't even bother replying nor reading it.
Some can believe flat earth. I will believe what Romans found evidence 2000+years ago that earth is ~spherical (and many more ancient people did)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth
Seems like it is SAME members who write disagreement or hate of other religions.
I mean, I can SHOVE Presbyterian theology into Buddhist's mouth, but I refuse to do so. (or post many christian articles from reverends and evangelists, etc). I am just wasting time if I do.
So, who do I block?
I do try to block Flakes, No shows, ones that take advantage of members and on TP. Funny part is , there were few since 2007ish? they stop showing up and posting here.
Being a live and let live kind of guy, I wouldn't block someone based solely on their beliefs. Now, if they stick to those beliefs in a way that they constantly repeat those beliefs like a broken record or disrespect others who do not share in or believe in their ideals then that kind of makes them a donkey in my book. Those people will be targeted for extreme blockage.

So are you targeting jackasses or Democrats?
There?s a difference?
I may have to read the fine print on my license.
Let me know if you can see this post. That way I’ll know if I’m blocked.

Wish I could figure out what this thread's about. But ray's on my blocked list...
Well, I hope I haven't made Ray's list, and no one here has ever earned a place on mine. I credit the mods who pay attention and value courteous conduct over ad generating clicks. For years I contributed to a popular gun list that never reigned in the trouble makers, the paid (Bloomberg, Soros, Clinton Foundation, China/Russia trolls, et.al.). It's in chaos for profit, not for gun owners. The owners are all about money, not firearms or 2A issues. Scumbags. I haven't posted there for 5 years (and it wasn't as nasty wild as ar15.cum).
We all have our particular perspectives and as gentlemen and gentlewomen we can agree to disagree. But if you need to be an asshat to make you case, put your hat on another rack. JMHO

I wish I could avoid poking the bear, but...
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/fall+on+deaf+ears
To "fall on deaf ears" means to "to be ignored", which is appropriate given the subject of the thread. I'm not sure I want to know what happens when Ray makes someone's future posts fall upon death ears. That sounds extremely violent.

Why would I block you?
That post alone proves we probably have a similar mindset and would have some common interests.
Hell, I might add you to my Facebook friends.

Most of forum blocks are not as good as people think.
I once blocked someone on a car forum, and I can them posting something without contents. Another way to know what they wrote is when someone quote them. it will show the entire content on a quote.

Its not good for never seeing that person, but it is good for when you see one of their posts and you have to hit another button to unlock it you're reminded "yeah, I don't wanna know what this asshole says"
I've got a few people blocked, but I don't think any of them are still active.
Well of course they don't look active.
I rarely block people on forums (unless it is TP/EE related), I did block literally Hundreds and Hundreds of people off of FB marketplace. I cannot tolerate people who waste my time.
These are my lists (screen capture). I even blocked one friend of a friend (he didn't know it was me and my ad since he is not on my friends list, and he doesn't know he is blocked). I have absolutely have zero tolerance of people who flakes/waste time/ghosting/welch/conartists. :D

Try it out on someone. You can always undo it. Try it on someone with a lot of posts so it's easy to tell.

Most of them are from facebook market place. Just think of it as Armslist/Craigslist with a block feature. :D lol
This is very reason I block people. I usually get 25 messages and emails per day during summer. I get these types of mail once a week.
I reply everyone in generic response (on an email signature) to weed out trolls.
Troll inquire about an item from CL, and when i reply, he said NO THANKS.

I don't have the luxury of blocking/deleting folks for my own pleasure. I have to be able to see everyone's posts for site management purposes. When I block someone, it is a ban, so I try to be discreet..
In the last week I have had to restore the content of 2 members Trading Post ad's. We went through the whole hullabaloo more than a year ago when I made it clear that this was unacceptable, yet it still occurs. One of these members is nothing but a TP troll (posts nowhere outside of the TP). Both of these members will be losing their TP access for a month if they remove their content again. THAT is how I block others here.
Some wonder why it's such a big deal. Leaving in the value you are asking helps other members gauge their pricing for items which can help ensure they don't get accused of price gauging. It also helps those looking to make a purchase to get a better feel for what they might expect an item to cost at any particular point in time. Maintaining the content helps the community as a whole. Note: While I think it's foolish, some add in their personal contact information in their ads. I have no issue with folks removing that information for their personal security (but then why have it in the ad in the first place; just monitor the ads and your PM's).
So yeah, I too have a number of folks I'd prefer to not have to see their posts, but I don't get to block them.
Oh, I seriously thought about publicizing the list.
Mostly to give those on the list a chance to evaluate their behavior and actions and decide if there is anything about themselves they wanted to think about.
Better sense got the best of me and I realized that publishing my list would only trigger hurt feelings so I'll just let them continue on with their lives and I'll continue on with mine without having to accidentally read their nonsense.

You're a good man Charlie Brown, er...Ray.
Bam!
Another one bites the dust.
This is starting to get fun.
If I suspect you are an idiot but have no proof I?ll probably let you slide. Once I have legitimate confirmation that you are an idiot it?s straight to the block list.
Carry on.
Okay, so now that the world is settling back to some sort of normalcy, I have decided to go ahead and unblock everyone that was annoying the crap out of me and let the chips fall where they may.
While we will have to agree to disagree about a lot of things and I will still have a rather low opinion about some of you, I?m willing put up with it for the sake of full access to all of the thoughts and opinions expressed here in the forum.
Hope everyone is doing well.
You guys are kind of like family. A few dear ones, some good ones, some slightly annoying ones, and a few you?d rather not have to be around.
Cheers to diversity I guess.

No, you're still going to want to wear the mask.
Poor bathing habits during COVID lockdown have brought about rather unpleasant bodily odors you'll want to filter out.
Just sayin'
He should do a list on smelly forum members...

The avatar gets changed once I have a decent sit down meal in a restaurant.
Until then we are living under the ?new normal? and even a picture could possibly kill you if you look at it too long.
Probably ought to put on a welding helmet as well as a face mask. Just to be safe.
Well, I haven?t gotten everyone unblocked yet. Seems it might be a good thing because I think one of my blocked people is still being a serious jackass in a recent thread.
