OMG do you remember a poster a while ago who used a really bright font color and everyone complained about it.  I can't remember who it was but good lord, i think many people hid that person simply because they went blind with a headache every time the person posted.

angel


I do remember! Luckily I didn't much care what she was saying so I just iggied it.

Status: offline 		I've never put someone on hide. I don't see a need to. Seems silly and childish to me to do so, especially if you announce it to them that you are going to put them on hide.

To me it's like "I'm mad so I'm taking my ball and going home" as you watch them stomp off to cry to mommy.

If I don't like what someone has typed I just shrug my shoulders and move on. I don't say anything to them, I don't comment or respond. I just ignore the post. Seems rather easy and less effort to me.

there is an option to hide all avatars on the profile page where you set your signature and shit. its near the bottom.

Status: offline 		i've never hid anyone (at least not on the forum side).  No one has ever bothered me that much.  i think it's a good idea if you consistently have problems with the same person.  It saves you a lot of stress and saves the mods a lot of work.  It saves everyone else the bother of listening to all the bickering.  But if you're hiding half the forum, frankly, it reflects badly on you.  Besides, then you miss out on a lot of good stuff.

ETA: When i said hiding so many people was absurd, i didn't mean that to imply a lack of logic.  i meant it in the sense of something that is eccentric and a little silly.  i don't think that's necessarily bad.  But, for heaven's sake, let's not get in another long debate about words! That was a joke, by the way.

Status: offline 		I've tried hiding certain people that I KNOW I'm gonna have a hard time not poking with sharp sticks... but invariably, someone will quote them, so I decided it was pointless. I think I've gotten better at sitting on my hands!! LOL

One thing I find amusing is when someone says "I'm putting you on hide" then continues to respond (putting the lie to the threat/promise/whatever LOL!!)

I think if you don't want to read something someone else says for what ever reason then you should hide them or just skip over their posts. I think if you start crowing about it in the threads you are just looking for attention or trying to start shit. I also get a laugh out of the idiots who claim to hide someone and then forget and reply to their posts.

Status: offline 		I have overflown messages... two people in the first page suppose that I think, that people care about if I hide them or not.
First: This is not true, I do not think that. I do not care if they care. I do it for myself, not for them, as I explained in the posting (did you really read it?)
Second: I haven't said that, nor have I suggested that in any place and any thread.
Third: It is off-topic.

Thanks to the people who are really saying if they hide or not, and why. Which is what I actually asked. I will read and answer ASAP.

I dont think the OP has me on hide. But he might as well, I dont have anything to say that he would be remotely interested in.

This is not for you to judge *friendly smile*. I will come to your answer later, as well as the other in-topic ones. Thanks for your interest.

It is my rule, the way I was educated, you like it or not of which impression it gives to you, is not of my interest. But my question was actually if you hide people or not, and why, so thank you if you answered to it.

That means a big thanks to Hillwilliam, xxblushesxx, Arienos (and frankly I do not care about your opinion about my postings), tolovetolaugh, PeonForHer (nope, they are too many), MissImmortalPain (I would never hide just for disagreeing, my reasons are in the OP, see Kirata f.e.), LadyHibiscus (very similar to my position), IrishMist (is not a need, it is an opportunity to increase the experience, I do not need to put chili on my pizza, I just choose to do so), kalikshama, nancygirl34652 (but you quoted them for me :) nice, thanks), LadyPact, HeatherMcLeather  (read though xxblushesxx, so you fumbled again... ;) ), MissToYouRedux, gungadin09 (ok, I can live with eccentric :) , and the matter is I guess how much I care about missing some supposed "good stuff" from people whose participation I despise), and heartcream.

So much response to the actual topic, so few personal attacks, so many interesting viewpoints! I am delighted! Thank you very much!

I generally don't hide anyone. I just skip over some people's posts if they're continually idiotic. If I *were* to hide someone, I wouldn't go around announcing it as if they're REALLY missing out on me not reading their words of wit and wisdom. When you do that it makes you look like a spoiled whiny child.

This. ^^^^ Every last bit of it. And, I know the OP's blocked me already so he won't see my post. But that's okay, I think he's just a self-important attention whore, or he wouldn't have to go around bragging to everyone about how he blocks people. For some reason, he seems to think we give a shit.

~Hisprettybaby~


Quoted so he'll see it. I'm sweet that way. I also agree with all y'all. Announcing it it idiotic & childish at best.

And Bunneh- I concur: "Bless his heart."

Here is a learning opportunity for Me.  What is it about the way that you were educated that the same objective couldn't be satisfied by a private message, rather than make a public spectacle?  It seems to Me that would a) inform the person and b) leave everybody else out of it.

I'm generally the first person to say that I don't care what other people think.  I do things My own way and tell people to skip Me if they don't like it.  (Read the sig line.)  Yet, if I were actually searching for a partner, I certainly wouldn't want to be presenting Myself as someone who a number of people don't respect because of My own posts on these forums.  That certainly isn't to say that I haven't had to make apologies now and again on these boards for various reasons and I've eaten crow more than once.  I do, however, attempt not to make a fool of Myself.

Which, by the way, is also not a personal attack.  I am attempting to tell you how I would want potential partners to see *Me* when they hit that little button that says "view forum posts".

Ok, two subjects here:

1. I was blocked 3 times from sending PM by the system because I sent too many. That subject is covered in "Strategies", but the point is: I avoid sending PM because every PM I send is one PM less I can send to find a partner. If the forums had a own PM system I would rather use it.
1.1. ... or not. Knowing that I hide, why I do and when I do it, is informative for others as well if they happen to care. There is probably no rule for all. Some will care, some not (but if they already consider my an a****e, why are they reading that message on the first place?).
1.2. ... if I decided to take the time. Sometimes it is simply faster to add a PS here, while editing the answer.

2. I am not searching for a partner in the small % of people of collarme.com who actually read the forums and participate on them. My opinion about the average sub female in the forum has not exactly increased in the weeks I am here (accent on "average"). I am looking for a partner in the huge % who does not. Therefore, my reputation here is rather irrelevant.

And... I am sorry but I am done with this in this thread. The whole point is off topic and will easily derive in ANOTHER thread full of trolls... they do not disturb me (anymore), but I do not want to encourage them anyway. If you want to discuss further whether it is, or it is not, adequate for me to say in public that I hide, please open a new thread for it and I promise that I will answer you there.

You said how and why you hide, it was informative, thank you very much. That was about it, for me.

Best regards.

PS: BurntKitty please do not quote insults directed to me specifically so that I see them. Thank you.

It does, in a sense.  On the lower left corner, close to that "hide" button, is one that is "PM".  You're literally talking about pushing that button, rather than putting the announcement of hiding someone on a thread.

Out of curiosity, have you read the information that the site provides regarding the spam filter?  I'm inclined to think that you didn't.  Between this thread and the other that you mentioned, I can tell you with a fair amount of certainty why you triggered it.  Oh, I've been a huge fan of it since it's implementation in September of last year.  I've taken the time to learn about it.

Because it's on the thread where they are following the discussion.  More often than not, I believe that people read all of the responses when a topic interests them.

1.2. ... if I decided to take the time. Sometimes it is simply faster to add a PS here, while editing the answer.

As I've already pointed out, it is the same number of keystrokes.

A person doesn't have to read the forums regularly to access them.  It's listed right on your profile.  "View forum posts." 

I can tell you that I know (meaning I *know* because these are folks that I've known for years in My real life) people who have multiple accounts on CM.  One visible and one on hide.  The visible profile is the one that people contact.  The profile on hide is the one they use for their research for the emails when they are determining if they will answer.  They do this to read the profile, journal entries, and forum posts of the people who contact them.  They don't post, but they do read.

There is absolutely no reason to open another thread to discuss the same topic.  Much like the "Strategies" thread, just because an answer doesn't fit into your little box doesn't mean that it's not topic related. 

quote:

You said how and why you hide, it was informative, thank you very much. That was about it, for me.

Best regards.

You are incorrect.  I never once said that I had anyone on hide and, in fact, have never hidden anyone on this site.  What I said was that there were circumstances under which I understand why other people put folks on hide. 

Please recall the comment from Lady Hibiscus.  Of the three, maybe four people that she has on hide, I can identify two of them.  In fact, it was she that had to explain to Me what the screen looked like when a person that is 'hidden' from view looks like when they post.  I honestly didn't know because I've never hidden anyone on the forums.  How did this come about?  The very same way as your remark to BurntKitty.  The person that Lady H had on hide was quoted and she mentioned to the person who made the quote that the person was on hide for her.  No big announcement when she did it.  Just a passing remark on a thread long after the fact.  I could find the thread if I tried hard.

Me?  Oh no.  Like everyone, there are some folks that I don't address because I know I'm better off, but I don't hide them.  I also happen to have personality clashes with some folks, but I don't hide them, either.  I've said it for a long time that I'm pretty good about conveying certain points while remaining within the guidelines and TOS. 

It's no surprise to Me that you don't want to address these comments.  However, My offer to help explain to you some of the things I've learned through the forums about the spam filter still stands.
