billw55 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yes, it is possible. No, they probably won't do it. However you can add the nameless offender to your blocklist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Alternatively, could the mods just tell her to stop trolling the entire forum in all her posts? Seems like that would solve the problem rather than just a symptom of the problem. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyams Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I agree. Also, the poster talks about "lots of love" about their own post and "too much aggression" about others. But in my opinion, the faux love and the passive-aggresion make these posts more unbearable than the occasional flame wars between (other) posters.

helene_t Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 nah, she is just a minor nuisance, nothing compared to all the vitriol we all spit out in the water cooler all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurpoa Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥Is it possible to limit the amount of consecutive suit symbols used in posts?♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ Yes, our account is now limited.We have no more access to up and /our down-voting. We have no more access to profile. It could be that somebody hijacked my account...But more possible that this was done by the administration, as a result of of the actions by a small group (at the most 7 of you, not to take into account the Double or Mulltiple users). Most of you will know that small group of people, who, through their aggressiveness and vulgar language are monopolizing the opinion on this forum. We do think that you should not allow them to get away with this. So react with lot of ♥♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥ ♥ WE L♥ve YOU ALL ♥ ♥♥♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Mods, this is ridiculous, look at Lurpoa. She thinks she is some sort of hippyfairy, she is flooding the forums with her obnoxious objections. She seems to hate short posts and off-topic/funny posts. Fair enough. She can ask for clarification, but the gratuitous heart symbols are obviously annoying to a lot of people (8 people upvoted the opening post of Free but it is very likely there are others out there) - and what is your response? Edit Free's post. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is it wise to react to someone behaving like a 14 year old, by acting like a 10 year old? Use the ignore user function and get a life. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Thank you for that apparently very wise, deep post hotShot. Four problems with it: who is it addressed to, exactly? some people do not like the "ignore user function", because it can create confusion, a notable example being unblocked replies to blocked posts.being annoyed by someone and asking the moderators to take action is acting like a 10 year old?using the expression "get a life" is characteristic of people of what age category?

hotShot Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Thank you for that apparently very wise, deep post hotShot. Four problems with it: who is it addressed to, exactly? You're welcome. Don't you think if I meant a single person, I would have send a PM? some people do not like the "ignore user function", because it can create confusion, a notable example being unblocked replies to blocked posts. So compared with your irrigation with those suit symbols, the effect of the ignore functions would be worse?That suit symbol thing can't be a big problem than. being annoyed by someone and asking the moderators to take action is acting like a 10 year old?If you take a scale from 0 to 10 (on forum posts containing) where0 are posts containing more or less idiotic posts that won't matter to the world and10 are posts to induce someone to commit a crime.Where do you put post containing:Cheating accusationspersonal insultsflooding the forumadvertise have a very long interest listmaking additional suit symbols to a post using the expression "get a life" is characteristic of people of what age category? According to this source http://en.wikipedia....ife_%28idiom%29 the idiom started around 1983 so I guess everybody could have picked it up since than. Edited to clarify.

gwnn Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 0 is the purpose of a forum to make more or less idiotic posts that won't matter to the world and10 is to induce someonth to commit a crime.I don't understand that scale hotshot. I think it's probably me, but it seems to sound like: "on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is a horse, and 10 is an orange tree, where would you put an Interstate highway?" I think there are (along with the majority of posts that are non-annoying) annoying posts and very annoying posts. I don't think very, very, very annoying posts will ever cause anyone to commit a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Unfortunately I still cannot comply to our request because I don't see a continuum of "evil", or what not, between these two notions. I have some criteria that I dislike about certain posts, but they are not necessarily on a continuum. If your point is that our annoyance at someone reading and replying on the forums almost exclusively for the sake of finding posts that are too short, or too off-topic, or too impolite is ultimately insignificant compared to the suffering of children in Sudan, I agree with that. I agree that there could be hypothetical posts that are 10 times more annoying than the posts objected to in this thread. I don't think that means much, though: these posts are annoying and we would like to see mods do something about it. You obviously don't.

Phil Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 So compared with your irrigation with those suit symbols, the effect of the ignore functions would be worse? The ♠ is clearly best for irrigation; it makes nice straight rows in my garden! (don't mean to poke fun at your English usage hotshot, but I couldn't resist this one ;) :)) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
