My favorite feature of DU: The PM Ignore

[LostinVA]

Thanks, Elad. Seriesly. I love it.

Haruka, alas, always forgets to use it.

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. I don't because I love semi-illiterate PM attacks

[Haole Girl]

2. Forced ignore rocks too

:-)

[Lil Missy]

13. I think I know what that means.

Congratulations, or condolences. Whichever is appropriate.

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

3. Is there an AM Ignore?

:+ For those morning messages.

[LostinVA]

6. I wish there was an alarm clock ignore

[Lil Missy]

4. I should think so. If you have almost 600 people on Ignore.

[burning rain]

12. Almost 600, crikey!

Someone who has that many on ignore, might profit from having a self-ignore capability if that were possible.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. Actually, there's just a few ways to get on LostinVA's ignore list

Be homophobic, racist, sexist or post vicious personal attacks.

That's it. Don't post those things and you'll never be on her ignore list.

[Iggo]

44. Uh-oh. (n/t)

[burning rain]

5. Good way of keeping track of those who trip your troll radar, too,....

even if you choose to read their forum posts.

[LostinVA]

8. Yuppers

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. Ooo...there's an ignore on your thread

That means, it can be one of three whole people on DU.

[Mike 03]

9. Wow, I didn't know we even had that option. NT

[Danger Mouse]

10. Ah, it's been awhile since I've gotten a nasty pm...

[LostinVA]

16. I can send you one -- for eating at Olive Garden

[Danger Mouse]

18. I did. And it was delicious.

[LostinVA]

20. NASTY PM COMING

:pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. You know, a couple of people have me on PM ignore...

And I have no idea why. It's frustrating, and since I can't PM them, I can't find out what's going on, and fix whatever's wrong.

I'm not an ugly person, and I can't see why people don't want to talk to me.

If someone is stalking you, then of course it would be a good thing.

:shrug:

[skygazer]

15. It's hard to picture you as a PM stalker, CalPeg

But there are some very paranoid people around here. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. I have never stalked anyone, either by PM or otherwise...

I don't get it.

I guess they must be awfully paranoid!

:hi:

[Heidi]

47. Just because someone has you on ignore doesn't mean they assume you were stalking.

If anyone has me on ignore, I just assume they don't like me or my posts for one reason or another. Personality conflicts are just part of life. I wouldn't consider a person paranoid for putting me on ignore, nor would I feel owed an explanation for a DUer using a DU feature designed to make everyone's DU experience more pleasant. I don't use the ignore function, but if I felt it would improve my DU experience, I would. :hi:

[madinmaryland]

34. Were they upset by an "f-bomb"?

:wtf: Why would anyone put you on ignore? I am at a loss to explain that.

mim shakes his head in disbelief.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Nope, I don't think so...

Just intense personal dislike, I suspect...

:shrug:

[madinmaryland]

40. I'm sorry, but how could anyone have

an intense personal dislike towards you? That thought is enough to make me drop the "fuck" bomb. :grr:

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. I will PM you shortly....

And thank you for your support!

:hug:

[TZ]

17. You know whats funny

In all the flame wars I have gotten in..never got the nasty PM from anyone.I do have a couple on PM ignore but that was more of a preemptive thing on the advice of others and one was for pretty personal reasons

[LostinVA]

19. It's only happened to me a few times

And, ALWAYS by trolls who get TSed about an hour later. Usually, it's people explaining their point or apologizing for being too heated.

[DarkTirade]

24. I've gotten one by a troll accusing ME of being the asshole there.

I just laughed at him, and he was TSed shortly afterwards.

I've also gotten several responses from other people saying, "Yeah, I've dealt with that person before. He/she is a total jerk/asshole/waste of space/ect." :P

[madinmaryland]

32. Well there are several who have me on ignore. One was from the

thanksgiving labor wars, who was daring folks to give him reasons to put people on ignore. I obliged him .. "click". I think there was a bit of braindamage on his part.

A couple of other dumbasses during the popularity contests with "gumption" came out and said they had me on ignore. Fuck them.

Hiya!

[mainegreen]

21. I got a PM once.

Good times.
Good times.

[TK421]

22. I've never had a nasty or threatening PM

but I would like to have one...just once so I can say I did

I'm weird like that

[Lil Missy]

25. I've never received a nasty or threatening PM either.

I'm just lucky like that. :)

[datasuspect]

26. My favorite feature of DU: people who find it necessary to mention that they ignore people

"oooh, i'm ignoring you . . ."

seems almost passive aggressive. i don't really know what it accomplishes.

[SPKrazy]

27. Ignore is a fabulous feature

period

[Midlodemocrat]

28. INCOMING!!!!!!!

[madinmaryland]

33. DTM, FReeper!

[sniffa]

29. I like that we can ignore mod's now

I used to add them when it didn't work just to have them on there. Now they disappear except when they decide to override it to contact me.

[SPKrazy]

30. LOL

:yoiks:


:rofl:

[LostinVA]

31. Me too!

[Midlodemocrat]

35. Why would anyone go to all that trouble to contact you?

:eyes:

:rofl:

Did you figure out Twitter yet?

[sniffa]

39. Something about my avatar

And no, I haven't figured out Twitter yet.

[vixengrl]

37. I have a weird question--I don't have anyone on ignore myself--

is there a way to know if someone else has you on "ignore"?

I don't think I post enough or obnoxiously enough (although I've had my moments) to be on anyone's "ignore" list, and the type of person I am, I'd probably feel a little gratified if someone was ignoring me. But it would be interesting to know.

I've never been an instigator. Much.

[Midlodemocrat]

38. Try to PM them. A message will pop up that that member doesn't

wish to receive private messages. They've got you some form of ignore.

[sniffa]

41. Who are you responding to?

[Midlodemocrat]

42. DS1. Oh, wait. I forgot. You have him on ignore.

[vixengrl]

43. Hm--I guess since I rarely PM, I'll never know.

Wow. My being anti-social totally insulates me. Yay, anti-social me.

[Midlodemocrat]

45. Nah, you should PM people you like. You get a closer friendship that

way. And, people will PM you to tell you that they agree with you in a thread, or ask your advice about something. It's nice.

[Shell Beau]

48. I hate when somone PMs something nasty but doesn't receive PMs.

So you can't even attempt to reply.

A certain person sent me a nasty PM. I never even had communication with this dude. But he didn't receive PMs. What a coward.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. Oh yeah, I hate that one

After I got back on DU, somebody PMed me to inform me they were going to get me banned again, and put me on PM block.

They are on my really tiny ignore list now. Makes DU more pleasant.

[Marrah_G]

50. I've only gotten one threatening, nasty PM by a DU regular.

They've been on ignore ever since.

[Midlodemocrat]

51. That was a love note. Not a threatening PM, freeper.

:eyes:

:rofl:

[Marrah_G]

52. Don't you have a house to fall on Wench?

[Midlodemocrat]

53. Nice one, Hitler!

:thumbsup:

[CreekDog]

54. You're ignoring Haruka's PM's?

well after that name she called you, I don't blame ya. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

55. Yeah, like I send her PMs

[Debi]

56. Ah hA! That's why you never respond to my PMs!

:think:

[LynneSin]

57. Is that the new "DTM" function

:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. It's not new

[PeaceNikki]

58. I like it quite a bit, myself.

:thumbsup:
