Suggestion- A Reddit like Block Feature...

[xBCxRangers]

We went thru this on another thread, and i think it's a great idea. I for one, am a celebrity here. And i get it. I am going to get heat, smoked, and all the rest that comes with all of that.

Here's the thing.

Moderation is having huge issues. Allegations are being made, people are not happy being banned for political and other matters.

Others, see whole threads being derailed, to focus on a poster, or matters, having nothing to do with the thread, and see their innocent thread, locked for no reason of their own.

Many of these matters, are caused by a lacking Block feature, that although someone is "blocked", it really means nothing, being they are haranguing, harassing, insulting and baiting others, thru their quotes thru others, causing a back and forth, and bans issued.

Many times if they know they're blocked, use that as an excuse to do even more trolling.

Others are mentioning, they are now getting "warnings" for abusing the Report Features.

Meaning, moderation is getting of spammed with false reports due to personal squabbles. Squabbles that can be mitigated...by a Reddit like Block Feature.

I have used it, certainly in this political climate over there, and it works like a charm.

You are in essence, "deleting" the troll from your feed. In so, that poster totally our of your life, in every way.

I think it' a win win.

It's a win for the innocent, a win for the troll (who will likely not be banned) , and a win for moderation. In that we now have the tools, to prevent having malcontents, in our lives, w/o badgering moderation..

There are many great posters to converse with. There are others not in control of their own faculties, some of which admittedly with afflictions in their lives.

Please Mr Newell, give us the tools to help your moderators, whilst helping ourselves.

Your Grateful King, and Buddy,

Ranger

You're right. And i think you seen it first hand here Bill. I mean clearly, ridding some of these posters from our lives, is not by any means going to create an echochamber. It can't.

It may mean, whole threads will not be echochambers speaking about Ranger, or William, or others, being that is not what the thread is about. Which of course, would help the forums, and moderation.

And i think we may agree, we have seen too many threads locked, and people banned, for no other reason, then folks derailing them for personal issues. This would rid that, overnight.

That means the derailment. The bans. All of it. Trolls would not get banned, being they'd be too blocked to be reported and banned. It's a winner for everyone.

Then why are folks abusing report features, in effort to have others banned? It's the same thing.

With the big exception, that we are not banned. We just cannot speak to a person who feels we are haranguing, baiting or harassing them.

It seems to me, people want to get their jollies spending their time looking to ban others, but clutch their pearls, when they are the ones to get the hammer, in this case, by an individual poster.

I mean to be fair, I get people banned because it's fun. It's SUPER fun if I can get them community banned.

Oh, this again?

If you honestly believed spamming the report feature was able to get someone banned, this topic wouldn't exist because it wouldn't have been able to be made.

There is no doubt, folks post here for the simple reason to bait others in being banned. And all i'm saying, is get folks like that out of our lives. With a very simple feature, others have implemented.

Well it can and should be. I will "self report" the poster in question. I will be polite, and say my goodbyes, and move on.

This would be a permanent ban if i so choose, and remove they and their comments, from my feed, permanently.

Giving posters more options, is a good thing.

It isn't "your feed".

You also have no idea what you just admitted.

It isn't another users fault for what you say.

Ursprünglich geschrieben von NoRain :( 🗕 🗗 🗙:

there are specific users who are just annoying or inflammatory just to bait a reaction that they can spam report.

That is correct. We know their act, and we need to cure the act, and this option will work wonders. Being moderation is obviously not up to par in these regards.

Anyhow, i'm spent. Have a great night all

Language barrier, I am assuming. I mean, there seems to be one with this user...

Like making claims about legislation or laws in topics that have nothing to do with either.

Which makes it weird when I see their posts. But I presume "self report" basically means a kind of projection. As in... Report others for rules we break ourselves? (Just asking as it might be an informative part for them to read this or anyone not knowing...)
