    Just to prove the point, I'll disagree with what everybody is "plus-ing" to.devil

    Well the funny thing is that making threads like this that passive-aggressively vocalise one's distaste for an individual poster probably sows more discord than anything the poster (probably me) ever did or said.

     And I agree with your right to do so.  Disagreements are a healthy discourse for society.

    the ones I have on ignore are more for my own protection

    because engaging with them inevitably leads to me getting email notifications from the DAZ Moderation Team

    it serves more as a reminder not to

    I post in these threads as I want it fixed so one does not see their posts or threads at all like the first forum they had back in 2010ish did

    It's only a matter of time before this becomes The Blocked Their Messages But Their Posts Still Show Up Complaint Thread.

    I kind of feel like the band Roxette was underappreciated. Laxettes and Roxettes.

    it takes a lot more than disagreeing with me and disliking me to make me block someone

    otherwise half the forum would be on my ignore list devil

    I tend to be the opposite and want to interact and stir the pot

    a lot of the ones I have blocked have not posted in years, there are only 2 or 3 who occasionally still do and interestingly their threads often get locked or vanish

    conversely

    I believe I m on many people's ignore list...

    We had one notable falling out and I still wouldn't block you. You add too much value to these forums!

    About eight or nine years ago I was wearing out the Daz forum team because I was feeding a particularly notorious troll.  Eventually, my fellow forum people convinced me to put that person on ignore and I felt much better. In general, I am for disagreement, but there are limits.  On the internet, there are enough people that someone will be testing those limits.  BTW, I like knowing that if someone has me on ignore, they will not see this message.  yes

    What if you put somebody on ignore and they just keep talking to you? Like their method of revenge for your ignoring is to ignore the ignoring...

    I'm always mystified by how folks here could rack up over 10K posts. The likes of  Richard Haseltine, or any other member of the mod team, I can understand. After all, voluminous communication comes with the job. But your average bloke -- is silence not golden?

    Feeding a forum troll. Now I know. laugh

    Believe it or not, the forums used to be more active with more exctement and optimism than there is now which lead to more interaction. As for feeding forum trolls, the mods make it hard to do that even if one wanted to get into it with them.

    most of my massive number of posts are from participation in a number of off topic threads in both the Commons and the Carrara forum

    mostly interacting with a few others also with large post numbers

    it's a social thing, I don't really post excessively everywhere else but often chime in if I can help someone

    I do tend to White Knight a bit if someone else trying to help someone gets nasty replies from the one asking for help though 

    if they are nasty to me I might reply that someone else can help them and usually just leave it at that

    it's the repeat offenders who tend to be the same towards others that cause me to get into moderation trouble and also my tendency to join in on controversial topics 

    I actually don't have many locked threads I started myself

    but if there is a juicy thread I am drawn like a moth and by no means the only one being chastised

    most of my posts, a good 20K+ were accumulated 10 years ago

    I had an absurd number of posts in the old forum. Like almost as many as Richard had. blush

    I think it's one of those double edged swords. All of that moderation is probably what's killing the forums too.
