Your feelings on the "..." ping/to feature?

Posted on 04/22/2009 8:18:53 AM PDT by Scythian

Do you guys like having folks be able to simply put "..." and have it be on your "New Posts to you List"?

If I understand him right he asks us what we think of Freepers who ping others without writing something (just using “...”).

If you don’t want to be on a ping list, request the one pinging you to remove your name.

I don’t think the “...” has as much to do with it, as putting your screen name in the “to” field does.

I have no problem with it. But hey, I have a life and more important things to worry about.

On the subject of pinging, is there a way to ping all posters on a particular thread without copy/pasting every single name?

If you don’t like people using that method to ping you to an article, tell them not to do it. It doesn’t require a new “feature” be written to the website. Besides, if they did that, people would start pinging using “....”

This is kinda like making a new law whenever you, personally, don’t like the way something works.
