Feature Request: Ban other Users from Replying to your Posts
This would be a wonderful feature to keep other users who annoy
you out of your threads. I would love to use this feature on
a few users right now. And, yes, users should have the ability to
ban Moderators from posting in their threads or replying to
their posts.

========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,
Me

That could cause problems if it was added. For example if you posted something negative about someone, and then didn't give them the oppotunity to defend themselves.

You would be better of sorting out the problem with the person rather then banning them.

I would like to see less arguments or personal attacks displayed within the forum completely.

People should take out their personal opinions not related to the topic to private messages.

I tend to stay out of or not continue to read threads when it becomes personal attacks between people.

Perhaps some rules for conduct should be posted and adhered to or ban users who continue to post personal attacks or arguments off topic to the threads.

Just my opinion.

LoisC - I appreciate what you are saying, but some people won't stop arguing, even if you settle something. They will post normally, and then keep hinting at something throughout there post that can be annoying.

Taking up the issue with a PM is the best method, if someone is still being annoying, then taking it up with an admin/moderator would be the next best approach IMO. I just don't like the concept of not letting someone reply in a public forum.

hmmm ... me?

Seriously though, I agree if the forum is public it should remain public. Banning people doesn't really make sense and is pratically impossible to achieve completely.

hmmm ... I guess common courtesy should always be shown ... it takes the sting out of lot of people's comments and if someone is that irratating why not just ignore them ?

For the GT forums, I wish more people would realize that GT is running these forums as part of their business and that any post that is made here can potentially make or break a sale for them (GT).

Definately a difficult issue here.

Couldn't agree more. And I think the time has come (unfortunately!) for GT to develop a Code of Conduct for these forums.

just have an ignore list like vbulletin where you can ignore all the posts of users you don't like.

Nice Marker --- new post (too bad that it also wraps the subject line Crazy)

--------------------------------------------

hmmm .... this is an option that's worth implementating but ... won't that make reading a thread comparable to reading a "xeroxed" copied page that's missing words along the margin ??? I've never used this type of option, which is why I'm asking.

The thread context will only be lost for those who have chosen to ignore people - it won't affect everyone.

I believe (although it is probably too late now) that a forum for distribution features and a forum for this forums features should have been set up as the boundaries are blurring but also some comments/suggestions are appropriate for the distribution version and not the GT forum and vice versa.

(If that makes any sense :))

Has anybody made any progress on an ignore user list that users could set up?
