Where did you get the idea that I think I would not be affected? I am fully aware I will.
When I speak about "regulars" I still count myself among them. Projecting much?
And yes, the forum will be a better place when people can easily avoid the most common trolls. Lots of smaller communities in the gaming sphere that are not overrun with trolls and handle them by showing them the door prove that. Being an arsehole is not the default state of a human, most actively chose to be because they get away with it.
It is.
What is the difference between them? On Instagram I can see various topics/reels and comment on them and have a conversation with different users just like with any message board. What makes one a social media platform but the other not?
Also one of them has this feature and it's still not the dreaded "echo chamber" and end of conversation people are scaremongering.
Although I see ignoring threads as a never ending task, I'm more inclined to support that over blocking people from participating in places.
an instagram page
or facebook, formerly twitter, or whatever
is your page (within the guidelines of that eula)
they are more like your profile here
these boards are public boards for all to participate in
Not really projecting as just stating what the logical conclusion of what will most assuredly occur in these particular forums should this idea ever come to pass.
Yes, many communities large and small show trolls the door via the appropriate method in the forum space: Moderation. If anything, we should be demanding of Valve better and stricter moderation policies, and limitations on alt accounts. That would be the most effective way to deal with the trolls and troublemakers in the forums. And what one considers to be an arse can be subjective at times. My old Psych professor and I have had conversations about the online persona versus real life actions. Sad to say, but generally what is reflected in the online persona of someone isn't that much different than their core being. The anonymity simply allows them to give voice to it.
Except that forums are not. Forums predate what we now consider as social media by a couple of decades, and the differences are clear. Just look at where the term for this type of online interaction comes from to begin with. Forums have always been about that meeting plaza where anyone and everyone is welcome to participate within the rules of decorum, and no one person is granted any right to prevent another from participating in the plaza activities. Social media, on the other hand is simply an extension of someone's own personal space, brought into the public light. It is nothing more than someone's journal or diary which they open up for others to see - but on their own terms, and only those they wish to allow to view.
At the end of the day, implementing something like the OP suggests only serves to destroy what makes Public Forums unique and interesting in the online space. It will also not solve the problems that the OP and everyone else who has suggested this in the past thinks it will. When we have trolls that openly state they use alts simply for harassment of the forums, and bans are inconsequential to them, a feature like this is meaningless. It is also easily bypassed by anyone with even the slightest smidgen of determination. Thereby rendering it useless and it would only turn the forums into a toxic No Man's Land that ultimately serves no one's best interests.
"Victimized"?!
Some of you guys really need to check the vocabulary you use regarding these forums.
Being blocked and ignored is not getting victimized.
On the other hand, it fits the mindset of some people I have seen here, taking the forums FAR too serious.
Yes, forums existed before the term "social media" was common place. So what? No the differences are not clear.
Again: what is the difference from making a public post on reddit where people comment and answer you and the discussion may spread and diverge into different discussion trees, from a public Instagram story? Or a YouTube video? Or a blog post with comment function?
Absolutely nothing except on some platforms the creator still maintains control over some aspects, like being able to close or delete the content. There are forums that allow that as well, btw.
Everytime I see people trying to explain why forums are not a social medium the answer boils down to "because they are forums".
What is a social medium? A place to share stuff with other people.
What is a forum? A place to share stuff with other people.
The stuff can be a funny video, a hot take on a socio-economic issue, an open letter to the government, a contemporary commentary about the impact of Einstein's influence on the crypto market, or someone trolling the platform's audience to generate engagement.
Do you really think the ancient Greeks would have been above sharing cat videos?
Would help more if you read the thread fully and didn't cut apart people's posts and only include 1 post out of context with the rest of people's responses. Its not being ignored that would result in being victimized, its about people being able to block others from participating on the forums by blocking them where the victimization would occur.
Yep, I mean its been mentioned so many times now that one would have to be purposely ignoring it and not acting in good faith to think people have an issue with blocking users. Funny enough I asked a while back if anyone could show me a single user who is against blocking and no one could.
Blocking is fine, letting users restrict what other users can access on PUBLIC forums is NOT fine.
They won't because, as explained, it goes against what open forums are.
To be fair you might be able to finish writing out Pi before Steam allows users to restrict where other users are allowed to post. In the meantime you should block and/or report anyone breaking the rules
Unlikely. I mean the feature the OP wants already exists.
It's called "Creating your own private group forum"
