November is ignore SCO month

[spekkio]

1) Who?
2) Codex has ignore function?

What this thread needs is stout hearted men who will fight for the right to ignore.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Why did DU reset the ignore list, anyway? Not that I really mind; last time I checked I couldn't remember why I put most people on ignore or even who's alt they were.

It was an experiment.

 

[Black]

I thought experiments usually have a purpose behind them.

 

[LundB]

I sort of miss being ignored by Hiver and Hoopy.

Wait a second, I just had an idea. If I don't see something, it probably doesn't exist. Therefore, I can preemptively moderate every bad thing to ever get posted in Politics if I ignore everyone who posts in there! BRB testing this hypothesis.

 

[evdk]

So now the Codex vilifies a man for sticking to his principles. Shameful.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

How about November being "Everyone ignores everyone month" so we troll DU?

That's what usually happens anyway, just look at most of the Dex arguments, does it look like the people are reading each other's posts to you?

 

[UserNamer]

Ignoring Cleve should be ban worthy. The guy is a stupid effeminate manboob. Ignored.

Ignoring Cleve shouldn't even exist as a concept

 

[aris]

SCO why did you ignore me only know? You've never ignored me before.

 

[aris]

So now the Codex vilifies a man for sticking to his principles. Shameful.

Yeah? You know who the other persons were that stuck to their principles?

HITLER

STALIN

you want communism and nazism fucking lib_rul socialist...

If SCO ignoring people bothers you enough to make a topi about it, why not just disable his ability to ignore people?

It is not about enforcing something, it is about changing one's (SCO's) way of thinking. Much more difficult, but if works gives better results.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

I refuse to use the ignore function normally, but I have been making an exception for SCO.

 

[evdk]

 

[aris]

I ignored (someone for the first time ever) SCO because I'm butthurt that he ignored me, something that he had never done prior to the reset.

 

[Kane]

Is his finger stuck permanently hovering over the ignore button,

More lyk stuck permanently in HIS BUTT

Wait a second, I just had an idea. If I don't see something, it probably doesn't exist. Therefore, I can preemptively moderate every bad thing to ever get posted in Politics if I ignore everyone who posts in there! BRB testing this hypothesis.

So as a test run for my grand moderation experiment, I have ignored everyone who has posted in Politics for the last 4 months.

Results of testing so far, positive and negative:
+ Clean, aesthetically pleasing threads devoid of posts.
+ Nothing to moderate.
+ No tl;dr inanity.
- Since I can't ignore mods or admins, some threads do include valuable contributions from my fellow staff members such as "Not rejecting men all the time would probably reduce rape, yes." and "I always sit down to pee cause I'm too lazy to do it standing."

Given these preliminary results, I am not altogether sure whether or not I wish to continue the experiment. It was a grand example of out-of-the-box thinking that could revolutionize moderation, but as it turns out that box may have been sanity.

Maybe he feel he's too good for the Codex.

Maybe the Watch is a more natural environment for him

 

[Black]

Wait, people are ignoring Major Blackfart?
Jesus, this place, man.

I can't bring myself to ignore SCO - the guy is actually pretty interesting. Knows a damn lot about ancient videogames, knows in-depth details of particular games, and brings interesting trivia to non-gaming discussions. Reads a lot of good books and watches some good movies, so it's worth keeping up with what he has read or watched.

Being French-Belgian, he also knows about Franco-Belgian cartoons and comics, which is a whole interesting world by itself.

It kinda sucks; while some of the ignorers, such as FretRider and Awor, are simply butthurt, other ignorers like SCO and Kz3r0 simply have such high standards that us plebes can't hope to meet it. Their posts interest me, but it's never always vice versa.

And then he's ignoring people like bryce77 who last posted in 2009. Butt Rhetler who hasn't posted since 2012. Dicksmoker who disappeared in June. Guido Fawkes who was banned 9 months ago. It goes on...

Why is SCO so butthurt about everyone? What happens?

Maybe he reads a lot of old threads or something.
:wyrmlord:

 

[zerotol]

If he ignores people he would not know that they are gone?

 

[aris]

It's for the lulz wyrmlord. It's not like if you ignore someone, he's ignored forever, and you can never again read his quality posts (which I for one have never seen). I will personally unignore him when this month has passed.

Being French-Belgian, he also knows about Franco-Belgian cartoons and comics, which is a whole interesting world by itself.

Also this has to be one of the most stupid things I've ever read by you. "Being X implies X knows Y in relation to X"

We have nongaming discussions that are not sex or prehistory related? Since when?
