CedarPointer Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Is there a way to make it so that topics made by users you've ignored don't show up on the forum page? I can't seem to find a way, but maybe it's possible? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan1980 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've never ignored a user on this forum (although I'm close currently to wanting to use this feature). Do you see anything when they post or does it not even register as a post? And don't worry Terpy, even though your constant "diversion" references have me baffled beyond belief, I'm not ignoring you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, their topics still show up, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 There is also reporting the posts and/or user. Enough such reports and the user disappears, like magic. Sometimes for a while, sometimes for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't think posting a topic for every thought that crosses your mind is against the rules, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't think posting a topic for every thought that crosses your mind is against the rules, though. I can actually agree on that, some people at times can drive me up the wall for posting bogus information that has little to no reason behind it. I know that some people when new to posting topics can go overboard on posting (everyone has those moments ) and they have some reason, but seriously, some posts can be annoying!

Titan Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 They should have a max amount of topics you can post in a day. Somewhere between 0-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes. Or a probation period for new users. I should not see nine topics on the front page posted by the same user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogrmac Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 "Posting and You" should be required viewing for most new users... LOL (Warning: a few curse words are in this video.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't know what's going on. A major new attraction hasn't been announced, so therefore this influx of "annoying" users is strange. Perhaps it's a rebirth of users past? Selective? Pizzababy? ect. ect. and so fourth... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 And they all came in the past month or so. Maybe they have a leader summoning them to reek havoc upon KIC because they were banned..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Further they seem to stay in one area. And generally don't drift. (They do however make their own topics often that make no sense and have no need...) Is it possible to make the sign up process a little difficult?

Titan Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 An age limit would work, but that wouldn't be fair to people like OhioColts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 @Titan, or maybe they are all the same person, the overlord calling the "banned" to rise from the "grave"? One could only hope not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Maybe we should make it like the park....Must be 54" tall to post - no recent surgery, no pregnant women, no heart conditions, guests of extreme size.....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 There already is an age limit. It is said in the ToS that you must be 13 to post. For certain people in the world, that is a good rule, but for those like ohiocolts, age doesn't appropriately show his maturity. As Terpy said, age is not a proxy for maturity. If it were, at the age of 13, everyone in the world would be respectful, schooled, and kind. I'm sure we've all met people where this isn't the case.

That and it's quite easy to click that little box that says "Yup! I'm 13" or 18 in most cases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 When I was under 13 (I was under 13 when I first signed up for this site) I wouldn't care if there was an age limit on the sites. I never really understood age limits. Why are they used? Specifically for email...I signed up for my first email when I was 8 but Gmail says you have to be 14 to have one. Same with YouTube and Facebook. There's no way any kids these days are going to wait to do these things until they're 13 or 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 not to mention half of the 13-17 year old teen boys going to ..."those" websites.. if you know what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I never really understood age limits. Why are they used? The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, aka COPPA.

Dalefan Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Or someone spoke ill of tpr or Robb.... Who doesn't do that anymore? That club seems to think that they are better then everyone. And what themepark fan site/coaster club site has a warning on the page to warn people of the stuff that gets said? Can we report someones avatar?

Same with YouTube and Facebook. There's no way any kids these days are going to wait to do these things until they're 13 or 14. There IS a way kids these days are going to wait until they are 13 or 14. We have an almost 14 year old and a 12 year old. When the oldest turned 13, he was allowed to get his own Facebook profile (the age is 13.) The 12 year old will have to wait until he is 13 to get a Facebook profile. The rule in this house is that you have to wait until you are the age that the site requires you to be to sign up for anything. They also have parental monitoring software installed on their computers and I monitor it weekly, because there was NO WAY I was going to hand 2 children their ages computers and let them have free roam on the world wide web. They know that computer and internet usage is a privilege and NOT a right. If they don't abide by our rules, they lose the computers. Anyhow, I kind of got off on a tangent there, but the point is that some kids do have to wait, and for good reason. The internet is not full of people that have good intentions and want only the best for your child. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
