No Ignore function on Prog Archives?? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Who said that? Wink

If there's someone whose posts you find really annoying you can add them to your friends list then mute them. I did that with someone a while back. I don't really remember if it worked or not but it's worth a shot.

Problem is the forum software is out of date - one thing that bugs me is the search function (for posts / topics etc) is very clunky to use compared with say vBulletin or Xenforo.

Or maybe it's been disactivated at one time.

Normally this is a standard fixture on all forums, sometimes very helpfull to peace-keeping efforts... probably useful to UN Blue Helmets around the planet as well. LOL

Not for me, though, but there is a worthy member wishing not to read the unintelligible post of another less-worthy member

If it doesn't exist, can it be created?

Cheers

sounds like some sort of fascist state when we start talking about 'worthy' and 'less worthy' members. All are worthy because prog is extremely niche and the vast majoroty of the world doesn't give a rats arse about it. I only get worried when people start talking like this.

Richard h I sure agree with you there. Worthy Member? Wow! Elitist Prog! Who knew? What’s next, A Starchamber headed up by record labels? Nah.

Just because you listen to prog and post in forums doesn't necessarily make you a nice guy.

Over the 20 years of this forum's life, we've had to eject/ban many "less-worthy" members who were systematically attacking others or trolling around. When there were 200 members simultaneously, losing or ignoring a certain member wasn't much of a problem, whether or not he was posting intelligently or not. I can understand that nowadays, when the forum is frequented by only 50 members per day, it might be an issue as to keep them around

I can't remember who was the angry member (probably worthy) about being constantly nagged by another member (most likely less-worthy) and got upset about it, so I suggested this option, which I thought (wrongly) existed on PA.

Does my choice of word make more sense, now? Stern Smile

Sean Trane doesn't mince words and sometimes can be a bit of a jerk. Whether it's forum posts or album reviews. I used to take his pseudo-elitist snark way too personal and that was a mistake.

Thx for that unprovoked personal attack, which will be reported. Disapprove

Funny that you should mention that "j" word, because a lot of us think the same of you (whether here or on PE). You don't like my reviews (a lot were written quickly in order to fill the then-totally empty DB on the demand of the owners), fine, you might be bothered when I detect your mostly idiotic or thoughtless attitudes (like the A suggestion for PA admission), but the day you will be useful to this site other than the web traffic you create is still rather far away.

That must be another one of my "pseudo-elitist stances".

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I have an idea. Let Sean Trane create his own custom prog rock forum and, as an admin on there, he will have the priviledge to set up a fully functional ignore function and ban whoever he likes. :) Problem?

Great idea.
