Nevermind pgn implementation; PLEASE implement thread ignore

[Kerry Liles]

There HAS to be a way to block a complete thread (there are several that I would immediately target) so that they aren't even in my face ever again - even facebook lets you "hide" annoying people who twitter on the half hour...

LOL - but that would indeed be just awesome! :)

Would it not be better to be able to block certain individuals? The blockee would receive notice that x number of ChessTalkers have blocked their posts. Perhaps they would get the message.:)

There are a couple of threads that I have never opened after the first couple of posts, even though they have 100+ replies, and presumably of interest to others. Similarly, there are a couple of posters I never read.

I'm good at ignoring things; just ask my wife.

I like that variation.

You may use "Ignore list"
To reach "add to Ignore List" is not so obvious

1 step - Left click on a person's username, and "View ..."


2 step - Left click on "User Lists"


As I've never used it, I'm not so sure what and where this feature ignores (it might be only for private messaging :D

Thanks!! Yes, you are right... it isn't that obvious.

I will experiment on some people....

Well, it sort of works... if I ignore someone, their post appears in the summary of the thread (the tree structure) with their name and the partial title of their post, but if I click to read their post the forum software reminds me that I have ignored the person..... if it behaved as if their post never happened it might be more like a kill-file, but then there is the same issue: if someone I am NOT ignoring quotes their rubbish I will see it by 'accident'

anyway, that feature probably works as intended... thanks again.

If the moderator didn't want the thread he can simply slice it. Cut it off like a ripe banana.

I suppose they go by the number of replies and views a thread gets. The traffic it generates even if it's not chess.

Some threads are like a cottage industry. They spawn other threads. Like this one which complains about the "offensive" thread and generates even more traffic and interest.

It's kind of professional wrestling. They used to fill Maple Leaf Gardens every time they put on a show. Nobody I knew ever admitted they went to watch. The place was completely packed. The put on a great show and sometimes the fans were more fun to watch than the wrestlers.

I gave it try and it works. It's a "twit" filter. I have one entry.

For a game like chess, which has a hierarchy, a twit filter is great! The regular players write to anyone, the FM's write to the IM's. The IM's write to the GM's. The GM's write only to Gawd.

Chess has solved the "theory" of evolution. Have you every heard a very strong player refer to his ape or chimpanzee given talent? I never have. It's always a Gawd given talent.

When I go to the zoo, I like to wander over to the monkey cage. Not to see the monkeys but to see if I know someone who is simply visiting.

However, and it's a mighty big "IF", the theory of evolution is correct, probably the CFC is a poster child.
