Exclamation Ignore feature

It has come to my attention, on several occasions, that there are people frequenting this forum that do not get along with certain other people that frequent this forum.
Because we understand that not everyone is likable to everyone else, but still require peace and civility, we have given you the option of putting people on ignore.
Click the profile link in any post made by someone you wish to ignore, and scroll down the page. Near the bottom, you will see a link to "Add this user to your ignore list"
By simply clicking that link, you can save me a lot of headaches, and it would do your club good.

I would use this feature in a heartbeat. However, if something is being sold or given away, I would not be able to tell if an ignored person has claimed it before me.

That sounds like a great feature, and I'm sure that if one of your ignored people beat you to a sale, the seller would be fair and tell you. I have become an advocate of just not acknowledging or responding to people who continually write posts that contribute no useful information to the topic. Imagine how nice the CTARS board would be if we all did the same.

You can still see that they posted but nothing pops up except that you chose to ignore this users post.

I'm going to bump this and I would also like to remind everyone that our Private Message system is subject to the exact same rules as the bulletin board itself. There is some glowing red text at the bottom of the PM Panel that informs you of this fact.

So if you think that you can send, oh I don't know, threats, profanity, insults...etc..via PM...you are wrong. If that message gets reported to us, we will take the same actions as if you posted that information publicly.

I really, really want to encourage a few people here to either A) get along, B) Ignore each other or C) Find a new board to play on.

If that does not happen, we're going to start helping people get to C.

It appears that this thread, and my suggestion to use the ignore feature is being ignored.
I don't have a lot of options before me now, but I need the petty bickering and childish behavior to stop, and I mean now. What I can do is;
1) Close this forum completely for a number of days
2)Close this forum indefinitely
3)Ban the two that are always at the root of the many post reports I get from members of this club
4)recommend once again that the rest of you get very up close and familiar with the ignore feature.

Right now, I'm going with #4, and I'm going to sticky this thread. If the problems continue, I give you my word, I WILL put an end to it.

Thank you for your help with this issue. As a member of the club who does spend time on the CTARS RC site, using it for information and to find out what is going on in the club, I would ask that you please try number 3 before you shut the forum down. I know many of the people in the club and would argue that it really is the few rotten apples that ruin it for the bunch here on RC. The immature and childish behavior that you see here is not typical of the members of the club. I think that removing "the two" who are involved in the complaints would fix the problem. Thanks again for taking up your time on this issue.

i vote number 3. its not the club as a whole thats causing problems. its 3 kids with no self control. personaly i dont think the ignore feature is going to solve anything around here, just put a band-aid on it for awhile. things will settle down for a week or two and like usual they will start all over again.

give them the BOOT!

I'm in for 3 also. Why should the people who use this website for actual information and help get punished because a bunch of 8th graders can't interact in society?

As I was also a cause of the problem, I would be in for #3, I will rather get a temp. ban that ruin it for other members.

Sorry guy, I will try to stay out of these as some people are already doing, and again sorry.

Patrik,

I don't think DgenR8 is asking for a vote I certainly hope, however, that closing the forum is not the end result, regardless of whether it's for a few days or indefinitely. Hopefully, the "offenders" will take other people into consideration for once and stop doing what they've been doing.

Closing a forum is not something taken lightly. I put it out there as it is one option available that would solve this problem. It's not in the books for this forum, at this time.
I'm hoping that this is a wakeup call to the perceived problems, and those that feed them. The "kids" as you guys refer to them are not in it alone.
Again, the best possible course of action here is for everyone to learn how to use the ignore feature, and exercise that knowledge when it's appropriate.

I said it once before and I'll say it again, this time much more clearly. If you don't want to use the ignore feature, be an adult and dont reply to the posts we all know are the root of the problem. Don't respond a comment that has no informational value, and don't even reply with a "please keep your bickering off the board," post. Please just take a deep breath, and completely ignore the post and the person. Kid or no, if they post a well thought out, useful, and informational post, or have a legitimate question, then by all means reply. If not, then just take the high road and let the comment be.

DgenR8 is right, the "kids" alone arent the problem, everyone who replies in ANY way to these posts contributes to the problem.
Mods, If this doesnt work, then please use #3.

I'll say that things have settled down nicely. I'll also say a general, all around thank you for that.

Sad due to is such a gret tool of knowledge and times answers are wrong by some but reader should have enough sense to read and read more till they make a decision they agree with due to many things work for many people. If I did everything the way I was told to do without thinking about cause and effect my tank would be in trouble. But no reason to be rude (answers must have worked for them).
