Coping with annoying people on the board

Just in case you weren't aware of this feature, you can set certain usernames (e.g. freepizza, etc.) as "foes", which means that their posts won't show up anymore. Actually they do show up, but hidden, and you can reveal them on demand. Here's the link:

Think of this as built-in "don't feed the troll" functionality. Trolls like it when you respond; let 'em starve.

Cheers!

I'm OK with everyone here. But I don't know if everyone's OK with me.

I don't know if I annoy anyone, but I'm sorry if I do. :cry: If anyone has a problem with me, please PM me. But you-all can block me if you want.
Wondering what prompted this.
thanks for the tip, Jerry Dan - i will definitely use it

Tsk tsk...Foes...such a strong word. Only nemesis such as Jerry and Freep should ever use it.

Heheheheh Frank, you've seen me get my Irish up!
I have used it in the past, it's handy.
:idea: Can't we all just get along? :roll: :P

Bjyman, I was just reminded of this feature the other day and thought that it would be better for everyone to remember it before things erupted into flame wars. This board is always getting more members, and this will continue, especially considering Project Fedora's imminent success.

Jane, you're lovely. Maybe a tad psychotically pessimistic, but hey, nobody's perfect! :wink: :lol:
