Please don't leave, block.

[jobadass]

I'll try to keep this short, but it's been bugging me for a while now.

We have seen far too many people leave the forums because of some of the drama on here. People troll and flame threads, call people names (some pretty profane) and just try to put others down. I've spoken with a few and read on others' walls that some don't come around here often because of the drama.

Don't get upset, just block them.

-Click on their name
-click 'view profile'
-under their pic (or where one could be) click on "add to ignore list' and confirm

POOF, they're gone and they can no longer offend or upset you.

Self moderation at it's finest and if we all do it, the trolls will have no reason to come here.

[koralene]

thanks... i would like to block about 5 people :p

[joaquim]

thanks... i would like to block about 5 people :p

Am I one of those people? :p

[koralene]

Am I one of those people? :p#

hahaha... are you are troll??? don't think so... so no :p

[jobadass]

thanks... i would like to block about 5 people :p
Just do it then. It only "ignores" their posts, I'm hoping there is a way to block them completely

i feel bad though... i'm too nice i think :)

Without the chatter there would be nothing to read here. It's all about whining and putting people down that whine.

Other than that a simple search would stop pretty much any other conversation in here, it's all been said...not exactly a dynamic game.

What you people are looking for is a good old fashioned IRC chat room. Forums and facebook are a poor replacement for a truly social platform.

Anyone even remember/know what IRC is?

So why bother to even come here? If you are just looking for information, find it. Much of the info you find is from people who have left, and many of them left because of what I am talking about.

[Swifty]

@jobadass

If the trend continues, it might be just you and me.

I did not disregard your post, I responded to it and offered an alternate solution to your problem and added a question to keep the momentum. :D

People will abuse you here and in any forum, chat room, comments section, whatever they can write in.

The problem is when people let it get to them. You are that kind of person so you should probably quit the forum as well.

[sexkitteh]

seriously... not trying to sound like a dumb blonde... wtf is irc????

IRC was this chat place and you could share files...

there would be bots that hosted files on servers and you could pull them... this is before torrentz took over...

Sometimes you would need an invitation to a "chatroom" and others was open to public...

I remember that you'd get a msg sometimes saying if you are a cop you are not allowed in this room lol

[Dipstik]

Internet Relay Chat. It's just a network protocol where computers can link up to a central server and exchange data. It's a very simple text format where you can join "channels" to chat openly or send private messages directly to a user. Usually it's just a chat interface, but it can also be used to transfer files. Im pretty sure it predates the "world wide web" and it fell out of popularity in the late 90s.

[jobadass]

@ Kora, when in doubt, google it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic

@ tower, I'm not that sensitive, but I am sick of seeing people who provide positive contributions to the forum leave because of folks who think it's okay to flame at will. Juvenile is what it is.

I was still using it till about 2005. The quality of files was always good and virus free...

IRC - Was there long before file and MP3 sharing. It's a place where you connect to a server, join one, or multiple, chat rooms and everyone could have conversations together. You'd have rooms with 10's or 100's of people. A few Op's to police the room and kick/ban people.

Basically, this forum but without the post, wait, refresh, repeat. Also, if you say something retarded it's not archived on the internet for the next millenium.

You are that sensitive, why else would you call me out for disagreeing with you? I was neither trolling nor flaming you in that response.

I derailed your cry baby b*tch thread anyway so suck it. (no homo)

[Mavado]

Efnet was the largest IRC server, but many of us had our own private servers and chans, especially when it came to racing releases and staying secure.
Dont think any of todays social media will truly live up to what IRC was for it's time.
Really miss the scene :(

Is there a way to just block the good people from leaving the forum and game? LOL. That'll be better than blocking the jerks. :p The forum feels so different from just a few months ago. Granted some of the new people are cool too but it feels different. Just saying...

When you block someone, does it mean that you can no longer see any of their posts in the forum?

[jobadass]

Am I one of those people?Whatchu say?
No, I think you came in trolling and figured out it was more fun to play nice.

[jobadass]

When you block someone, does it mean that you can no longer see any of their posts in the forum?see them as 'ignored' rather not see their names at all IMO

[Nudie]

How do you set an avatar anyway?

You go to general settings, click edit avatar. There you have 2 choices: pick a picture from your my documents or one from online but the picture has to be 150 x 150 or smaller.

you obviously misunderstood my post. Always liked you, and your posts. please reread my post and put some smiley faces in there
