This post is a how-to for if you decide that you want to ignore all posts by a certain member. Many forums solve conflicts between members by banning one or the other, and having a policy of near-absolute free speech means that there will inevitably be people who dislike each other or find each others posts extremely offensive or annoying for whatever reason.

If you have gotten to that point with a particular person, the forum has an option for you to choose to ignore their posts. This can be done by visiting that person's member profile. You can get there in two ways - either click on their name in a forum post, and then click View Public Profile; or you can click the Members List button at the top and then find their name by clicking on the letter it starts with.

Once you are in their profile, there is an option to add them to your ignore list. You will not see posts by that person anymore.

This is an imperfect solution, as other people will continue to make posts in response to them and many people will still want to debate with them and respond to them - basically, people may make reference to posts that you no longer see. However, you will not have to read what they post if you don't want to.

I think this policy best conforms to free speech because everyone is free to speak, and everyone is free not to listen if they so choose.

Thank you for the new lobby, and thank you for the tutorial.


Long live free speech, long live ear plugs.

Great idea..I think we have lost a few because of one who tied up posts with nonsense when people wanted to discuss something. Free speech...yes accepting constant harassment...everyone has a right to say no

Oh man, this is GREAT!! I can see your name, but don't have to be assaulted by your ignorant, "I'm only here to insult, berate and find other ignorants like me", bullshit. I should have done this a long time ago. This is beautiful. I can sit here and rail against you all day long and don't have to read any replies... which serve only to make yourself look more and more moronic, not to mention socially inept. Oh and blatantly disrespectful of others.

So... if I'm a loser who has bested you on every thread... what does that make you?.... besides someone who intellectually never showed up to the game.

What is it that they call people like you?... oh yeah... inconsequential... or speed bump, your choice. LMAO... go ahead and spew your vitriol... I can't see it, and the only people who can know me better than you do. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wow.. it never occured to me that people who come to a forum voluntarily..
would act like such children as to stick their fingers in their ears and go
" lalalalalal"..
and that they would brag, and boast of their being able to legitimately ignore the unpleasant, or unanswerable..
and SAY that it was because of some percieved "insult".
Of course anyone can up and leave..
but if you are in the game.. but you purposefully avoid playing when its too tough for you..
well.. it is just unseemly to act like you are the strong and righteous ones.
