There are entire thread pages I don't see because every post is from some idiot on my Foes list. I certainly wouldn't keep reading this board if I couldn't turn the idiots off. I'm privy to enough of their stupidity just in quoted posts alone.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 9:52 pmHmmm....
The ignore feature works fairly well but only up to a point. Unregistered lurkers can still see everything that is posted in this forum. Whether or not they want to join a virtual cesspool, hey, how would I know?
Apparently, it's all alpha-male-like to hide like a coward behind several different handles.
Well then it would be even easier than I imagined to control this nonsense.The mods and admin can already see the IP addresses in list form including alternate accounts that posters are using. That is to say, if you are using a sock, those same posts come up where your regular posts come up on the list for viewing.
The only consistent thing about Shades' rules are their inconsistency.So...it's not okay if emoticons make the board look like a kindergarten coloring book but it IS okay if the spam trolling makes the board look like a boys bathroom in middle school. Hopefully you will understand the reasoning behind that and if you do, would you please be kind enough to tell the rest of the class what that reasoning is?
Jersey Girl, we just found out that Shades considers a mini-skirt a rape provocation. You could be waiting a while.with regard to to your current complaint, I'm afraid if you're waiting for a response or decision on the part of admin, you'll have to take a number and get in line behind me and others who are still waiting on the so-called moderation thread for a decision regarding violations of the board's spamming and harassment rules, particularly, sexual harassment of female posters.
You actually answered the main question I had, which was whether the admins had the tools to do something about it. I'm not sure I ever expected Shades to act on it, but thought it was worth a shot.I'm not sure that decision will ever come from admin because you know, Shades respects women so much that he bends them over a pedestal and he's never seen fit to deal with sexual harassment on this board regardless of the fact that the issue has been raised since the board's early days. I do think the anti-harassment rule works...the problem is that Shades himself doesn't work.
