Buddy and ignore lists

[Joni]

From what a few members have told me they were not aware of this function.

When you click on a particular members name you will find the option to ad this person to your buddy list or ignore list.

Buddy list – basically when they come on line you will see them with a cross next to their name so you will know immediately when they are online (eg Spank me+), but more importantly people who are not on your buddy list will only see your basic profile information, where the people on your buddy list will see all the details you have filled in, including emergency contact numbers etc. which is handy...

However the function I need to bring to peoples attention is the ignore list. We are receiving more and more complaints from people about “abuse”. If there is a member who bothers/offends you, step number one is to put them on your ignore list. You wont see their posts (unless someone quotes them) and you wont see the rep they give you. This will eliminate 80% of the issues people are having. Then if you feel that particular person is still hassling you let us know.

If you have any questions please pm me.

Alrighty then….

Can the 'ignore' function be made to also stop their PM's?? Then that 80% of which you speak can be 100%. THAT would be real valuable.

I can tell you from experience what the answer is... its still your choice if you open the pm or not.

However I will look into it for you...

Put someone in your ignore list and take a look to see what it does. They're just as easily removed.

how can you tell if someone has put you on their buddy list or not?

[SpankMe]

You can't.

[Mental Trousers]

There is always the question but why should I/we put that person on ignore. Just make him/her stop.

The answer to that question is that unless you are willing to take reasonable steps to ensure that person doesn't bother you then you're probably not going to get much sympathy. The moderators/admins are not here to cuddle people and tell them it's alright the bad man/woman won't hurt you. First step is to help yourself. 95% of the time the ignore list makes the problem go away.

im willing to print a list of mine if that will help..

i think there is a post size restriction though

[Matt Bleck]

if the red rep you had from someone dissappears does that mean they put you on their ignore list?

[SpankMe]

You got it the wrong way round. When you put someone on your ignore list, all reps from that person disappear from your received rep list.

Thats weird I have no one on my ignore list and my red rep has gone, does rep comments have an expiry date so to speak??

No but sometimes rep drops off the bottom of the list as people give you more rep.

EDIT: Your rep page in the UserCP only shows the last 30 reps that you have received, so everytime you get a new set of rep points, the rep box and comment that was in number 30 on the list drops off the bottom, but you do not lose any points.

Technically, you may be able too.

When clicking on a person's profile, if they have you as a buddy, you will be able to see far more detail, if they have filled in it.

Not bulletproof, but when seeing Real Name, Emergency Contact Details, etc, its a sure sign they have you as a buddy. Very helpful, if something bad happens...
