Ignored users

[Zerpina]

I don't know if this can be done on Xeno, but what the hell... just a shot in the dark.

I know that when you ignore a user, you don’t see them, but why can they still see you?
I wonder if there is a way that, if you ignore a user, it automatically makes them ignore you, and they can’t undo it. Some users as you know, bother specific other users just for the lulz, but if they were, say, getting ignored and couldn’t undo it, it would put a stop to it.

Basically, like muting each other from one end, where the person who ignores the other user could undo the ignore if they felt so inclined, but the user being ignored couldn’t undo it... just to see what the other user is posting.

I always thought it was odd that if you ignore someone, they can still see your posts.

Again dunno if it can be Done, just a shot in the dark.

Gaming Isn’t A Waste Of Time - I Got Facts To Back It Up……I Guess!?!!

Wednesday it was lunch break 12:35 pm, I just had my lunch and there’s time left before 1 pm so I decided to play Symphony of the Night on my phone which I “bought” from the AppStore. When a female coworker approached me and tell that why am I wasting my time playing. I didn’t answer her, not...

Oh that reminds me of something.

The first pic is fine.

I mean if you cannot see what the user you've ignored is doing then what's the matter if they can still see your stuff?

They can report you if you say something that they don't like.

Respectfully, this is a bad idea.

We cannot allow this to become a social media platform where users lock themselves into bubbles of like-minded opinions.
This is a forum meant for open discussion and the exchange of ideas.

Troublemakers should be warned and banned. It has always been this way, and it has always worked.

We supposedly don't have the feature not to replicate the "echo chamber" behavior of social media in the forums, as some of the staff folks have said previously...

I for myself think this wouldn't be a bad thing either, since we have nothing like a recommendation algorithm in the forums, it would actually prevent many of the minor conflicts we have here.

Personally I've chosen not to ignore anyone, but I also would like if the feature was available for those who want or need it. So, upvote.

As much as I hate to say it, it isn't much better. I get the same vibes here as I do social media. There isn't nearly as much discussion to be found like there were on forums when the idea of forums was prominent, it's a lot more talking at people, not to them, a la social media.

yes, that's exactly what I pointed out here: https://retrogametalk.com/threads/ignored-users.18782/post-397430

it feels like most of the problems we have around here could be explained by the fact that xenforo devs are actively building the platform to feel like it's social media...

That's just the way of the internet now. Everything has to mirror Facebook or Instagram. It's a shame, it kills genuine discussion in favor of just about nothing. Like/upvotes != discussion.

yeah, unfortunately... for them that's perhaps a mere product

Can't really talk in the forums, cause one wrong word & people will start arguments.
Let's go back to the old days, where we can say something & people can agree with it, without trouble.

And actually have discussions as well. It's sad when places like Reddit or Facebook have a better batting average of something turning into a positive discussion than a forum meant to facilitate said discussion.

But I haven't seen any of that here? If any it's very minute. Things seem pretty cohesive. Maybe I'm just not in the cool kids club so I don't know all the gossip
