The only Ignore function that would work would also ignore all posts that referred to the ignored post. Not likely.
That is not correct. It would not be hard for the php code to tell that the quote being quoted was from a user on ignore. Now, the response would be seen, but the original posters quote, who is on ignore, would be on ignore embedded in the response. The problem is that it would [probably] require a HUGE rewrite of the main code, with very little value added. nitro
Plus, not everyone would have the same person on Ignore, so the post would remain for anyone who wants to read it, which would have the desired effect of disrupting the thread anyway. Too much trouble and no real benefit.
Putting somebody on Ignore does not delete the post. It only hides the post from the individual who has put the poster on Ignore. Anybody else who wants to read it and quote it is free to do so, which has the desired effect of disrupting the thread. The only difference is that the person who used Ignore doesn't know what's going on, unless he reads the ignored post in a quote.
you all sound like a bunch fretting ol' women .. "oh whatever shall we do. this is so awful..." exactly what simtrader/JR was talking about... bunch o' whiners and fretters .. OLD WOMEN.. the whole lot of ya! HA!
Ah, OK, you are not concerned about the fact that the ignore function has done it's JOB for ONE user, but not for all users. Well, needless to say, that is not it's function. However, yeah, the only way to help that "problem" is by active moderating. I have already made a suggestion on that here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18988&perpage=6&pagenumber=3 nitro
That's what I've been saying from the start. As for having people pay to start threads just so they can moderate them, what's the point, other than to discourage people from initiating threads?
