Block ignored members from my own threads

[StarLight]

I want to get rid of some comments made by ignored members on my ignored list.

Will it ever be possible to block their comments from my own threads?

It's clearly they will not had anything positive to my thread.

Thanks for replying.

That's not possible with the forum software.

Edit: It would also lead to lots of issues regarding that kind of function.

If they're ignored, you can't see what they post to begin with, or if they're even quoted.

You might as well be asking if you can just ban them altogether if you're trying to keep them from posting in your threads at all....

For general discussion threads (like, "discuss the graphics of this game") I think that they should belong to the topic rather than to the person who wrote the OP and as such you shouldn't be able to block people from participating in it.

But for more personal threads, like "My drifting team" or "My gallery", there could be a point in being able to block certain users from replying, because then the topic is more closely linked to you (or your team).

Banning people from your own threads would be a welcome addition. Also, it would be nice if Premuim members had moderating abilities in their own threads. It would keep threads much tidier, & take some of the work load off of the mods as regards sorting out double postings/profanity etc. I'm sure race league/club owners would find that very useful indeed.

@VBR - for one very simple reason, members aren't going to have the ability to edit posts, even if the intention is to noble; if you can edit posts to remove expletives, you can edit posts to add expletives and/or content. That can only lead to bad places. Doubly so if it's your own thread where you're, for lack of a better phrase, emotionally invested.

I know you have me on your ignore list, so this may seem a little pointless, but all you seem to do is claim to be a victim of "bullying" when people call you out on anything as minor as incorrect thread info. It's not the first time people have pointed this out.

Ignoring absolutely everyone who challenges you doesn't suddenly make your actions the right ones. You seem to think that by building an empire of suggestion threads, you're immune from criticism and anyone who dares to question you is a "hater" or "bully". You just continue to ignore, ignore, ignore until you see the people who agree with you no matter what. That's a bad way to go about things.

I'm not looking to spark a riot, I don't want this to descend into chaos, but just stop for once. Think. Are you really going to gain the respect of other members if you keep thinking you can do no wrong just by blocking out everyone who calls you out on it? Is it worth sending the abusive PMs, the constant thread mess, just because you don't want to be amiable and hold your hand up for something? Nobody is out to get you. People just get a little more than irate when you try and claim to be a bully victim.

Thanks for your reply ... so the ones can't be excluded ... well just continue to ignore them no matter what.

Please close this thread since it not longer needed to stay open.

Mods are trusted with moderating, so I see no reason for certain premium members to be able to be given moderating abilities in their own threads. If a mod abused his or her abilities, their abilities would simply be removed, same goes for a Premium member who did the same. I can't see any problems with such an arrangement.

That's the thing though, Moderators are hand chosen by Jordan. Any member can be a premium, regardless of how many negative points he/she has or how bad of a member they are in general.

The problem is that there would be more misuse than proper use. Not only that, it is going to get people to be sour towards each other, most likely ending in people reporting a certain thread just because they got blocked from it. It will end up as more work for the moderators, not less. Sounds like too much of a fuss, really.

I don't see it as necessary or needed. If you feel like making an exclusive thread, then why not just create a conversation and add all the people you would want to talk to, instead of making a public thread and banning all the people you don't want to talk to.

Why does you ignoring someone give you the right to dictate where or what they post? Regardless of if you treat it as such, the car suggestions forum isn't your personal blog; and if you already just ignore things you don't like what difference does it make to you anyway?

Mods are trusted with moderating, so I see no reason for certain premium members to be able to be given moderating abilities in their own threads.

If a Premium member was able to be trusted with such responsibility, they would have been made a moderator anyway.

certain premium members

And there's why it can't happen. As @ImaRobot indicates, not all premium members would use that feature in the "correct" way.

How about we ban Car Suggestions like-fishers instead, like OP?

Because that isn't a valid reason for banning someone?

What a coincidence. "I don't like what they are saying" isn't a valid reason to dictate if they can say it.

 

[GTPorsche]

I thought suggestion likes didn't count, or did that change?

If that's the case, moderators better make it that 3 closed suggestion threads in a row = instant warning. Has a warning ever been issued from the suggestions forum?

There's should be also a ban against vote pacts like Starlight and CostasDrifter have. And I am willing to wear my tinfoil and say that both might have used VPNs to create new accounts solely for voting Starlight's suggestions.

There's no karma system here, plus only two cars came out from Car Suggestions forum (TS030 and Zytek Nissan). (To be technical, there's also Midfield Raceway and rear wing repainting from the other sections).

How about we ban people who make tunes? What are they like, flooding the tunes forum with their posts.

No, why don't we ban folk that post photomode pictures for us to like?

As I've said before...

Yes, there seems to be one group of people who like to post cars that other people have never heard of with the premise that they want them in GT6 even though no one has ever heard of the car and no one will ever use said car in said game.

And they are arguing with another group of people who also like to post cars that other people have never heard of with the premise that they want them in GT6 even though no one has ever heard of the car and no one will ever use said car in said game.

Which is the saddest 🤬 reason for having an argument ever.

If you don't like a suggestion. Ignore it. Keep arguing and we'll ignore you. Permanently.

 

[Jordan]

To address the OP, it's not a feature that will be added here. You can "ignore" whomever you like, but you can't interfere with their experience of using the site. If you have a problem with someone in your thread, just report it to the moderators. They do have the ability to ban someone from an individual thread if they deem it necessary.

I'll now be closing this one up before it goes any further off topic...
