“Do not post to me” - Repost
Free Republic | 10/06/09 | Admin Moderator

Posted on 10/06/2009 3:55:51 PM PDT by Admin Moderator

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

First thread.

As a highly skilled software developer, I am here to tell you, the technology to implement ‘ignore’ features simply does not exist.

I just posted twice to a Romney supporter who whined and demanded that a fellow FReeper stop harassing her ... telling her that she and her ilk (supporters of Romney.....

I know who you are talking about and not only will she demand that you stop posting to her but not to post on her thread.

Maybe I am wrong but I was of the notion that anyone could post a reply on any open thread as long as they follow the rules. If not, it would be a pretty good way to stifle other opinions. Yep, even mild mannered Graybeard has been told, "stop posting to me".

If you can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen! (I just made that up on the spot. Pretty catchy huh?

By the way, I never use lame sarcasm tags.

what’s wrong with using a feaute
Epic feaute!
A guy asking for a feaute, the absence of which works toward weeding out wussies who yearn for the aforementioned feaute.

I promise to quit ‘stalking’ people, this should cut down on about 60 percent of it.

So... lmr... what are you wearing?

I’ve been on several forums (actually ran one years and years ago) with this feature. It is, to say the least, a PITA. You make a post and you see a lot of replies with content that says ‘blocked’ and you just look like you are talking to yourself.

That's is part of Jim's contribution to this thread.

"That's is"? Sober up dude or dudette as the case may be.

Now you’re an expert on what I know and don’t know? Nah...
