For those few people on my ignore list talking about me or to me
Get a life please.
shareI never ignore anyone. :)
shareWhoop de doo for you.😐
shareI discuss with anyone,always.
share🍻
shareI assume everyone in the 1000+ post lefty club get an instant message from "Mod2"
shareIt's not only messages that we get from Mod2 *wink wink nudge nudge*
But was "lefty" the bad one or the good one to be? I forget (it's the Koreas all over again).

Well, if you've been reported isn't his "job" to e-mail you? Just saying... But I wouldn't know of his character, since I haven't been reported. Yet. To the best of my knowledge.
But you do seem like you like to stir the pot :P
Btw, that "fat cunt" in North Korea is truly hilarifying.
I don't think mods should let someone know every time someone reports them. They should decide first if the report has merit (many reports do not have merit, especially here where it seems like certain people constantly flag eachother like Itchy and Scratchy).
And then if the mod determines that the complaint is valid and serious, that it's not just a juvenile slap fight, THEN they can warn the person.
Think of it like a parent with two little kids that are just constantly tattling on eachother and 99% of it is stupid tattletale bullshit. They need to be able to tell what is bullshit and what is serious.
But this system requires the mod to have good judgement.
I've seen those "I reported you for _insert something stupid here_" comment piss matches. I don't see the appeal to be honest. But you know, different strokes...
But, yes, it would make sense that you wouldn't get an e-mail if it's not merited. Now I do wonder though if someone _has_ hit the "report" on me!
We like to joke, but it must be difficult making some of these judgments.
It is difficult to sort out the signal from the noise, and just like the parent analogy there are times when a mod is just sick and tired of the bickering and sends both kids to their rooms, even if one might be more guilty than the other (on that particular occasion). They just want some fricken peace so they might punish both.
Hey, the little child tattletate analogy is so on point you gave me an idea. They should have make a slapfest thread (or a branch) invisible to all users except both of perpetrators. It would waste their time and imagine what would their faces like when they finally realized that nobody even see their "winnings" all this time. Lol.
shareMaking a thread directed at someone is pretty much the opposite of ignoring them.
You just gave them a boner by paying attention to them, so they won, so they will keep doing it because it got the result they wanted.
Yeah I know but that was pretty much the only thing I needed to say to those two people you smartass.
shareMaybe you should stop all your whining, complaining, and trolling, "barclays." Talk about get a life.
share[deleted]
Never takes it long to start playing the victim card.
shareYeah, it's getting confused, finally. Claimed it was American recently, but claimed it wasn;t a while ago. We all know it would only be a matter of time before it outed itself
share[deleted]
About, there isn't any way. Well, not unless you log out and then read, but that defeats the point of having an ignore list.
To, we get the notifications even if we have someone on our ignore list and they reply to us.
Dumb thread. Why go to the trouble of posting a thread to the people you're ignoring?
^ this
making a thread about them is like giving them a cookie, and when you reward a behavior you will just get more if it.
[deleted]
I see it the other way around. The person who troubles themselves to write a thread to the people they have or allegedly have on their ignore lists are the ones showing the people they have on ignore have gotten under their skin, or why bother?
To those who've replied to said person in hopes of getting a rise out of ignorer, all this does is wave a red flag for them to do it more often, because this shows they've succeeded.
In the case of the OP, who early on put me on ignore -- too hastily, but hey, it's her or his choice to do so -- I can only think of one instance where I replied directly to her or him, after knowing I was put on ignore, unless I was responding to the content of the post for other people to read, not to the OP.
Bottom line, you can't prevent anyone from replying to your posts/threads, even if you have them on ignore. It's not anything you can control.
I saw the stupidity of that one early on.
share"Why go to the trouble of posting a thread to the people you're ignoring?"
Gimmie a T! Gimmie an R! Gimmie an O!....
One has to assume that a few of those ignored have replied to this very thread. I wonder how much of it Barclays can actually read /logged in/.
shareGood point! Most of the thread is most likely invisible … logged in.
I believe I have the honour of being the first on Barclay's ignore list. Very occasionally I'll respond to a post here and there, but that's it.
[deleted]
We don't? If Jim fixed it, that's great! I didn't know. Wish he'd fix ignore so it only ignored the ignored :D
I'll say this, I don't think Barclays is the happiest camper in our tent and can be, well, a pill.
Do you know if the rest of the replies are invisible, after someone we have on ignore has others who reply to their posts? Or has that been fiksed?
share[deleted]
Too bad. I liked the way it was on IMDb better, where you could see someone on your ignore list had responded, but the rest of the replies were visible.
Come to think on it, I'd prefer someone on one's ignore lists replies were invisible, *and* you could still see the replies of everyone else.
That would be the best of both worlds.
I don't use that feature. I simply try my best avoid you now when I feel the need. This isn't one of those times.
I do have a life. You aren't that important. I just run into your posts occasionally.
This really was dumb! You may not be able to read this! I hope and pray that I am on your list! LOL!
I don't have you on ignore so chill the hell out. And there are two people on this board that don't have a life and what's more, is that they know I have them on ignore yet they still continue to bad mouth me and reply to my threads. They are so stupid for replying to someone that has them on ignore.
Furthermore, I can ignore people if I want to, if I really don't give a dann if I never interact with them again. It's really not worth the hassle of interacting with them or reading whatever they have to say. When I put someone on ignore, it's permanent. The only reason I made this thread is because those people were in a thread of mine making it longer and I could only see half of the replies so I wondered who they were talking to. Well they were writing the same crap that they always do, so honestly this is the last time I log out to read what they write. Just reading their words was a waste of my time. This thread has gotten to be a waste of my time as well. I simply needed to tell them how I felt. Now they know. Issue resolved as far as I'm concerned.
Nobody cares, "barclays." Just as nobody cares who you supposedly have on ignore. The fact you started a thread addressing them speaks to you having no life far more than anyone else. Just reading your rant was a waste of anyone's time. And no thread is "yours." It's a public forum.
BTW, are you male or female this week?
Why would I respond to someone who claims to have put me on ignore when I've made it very plain I enjoy that status? 😁
share"This thread has gotten to be a waste of my time as well. I simply needed to tell them how I felt. Now they know."
This is so typical of you.... I mean, you basically complain about what others here have to say....
You told me that one of my threads, like others, was more or less stupid.. You act as though you don't like posting here. You just said that this thread has gotten to be a waste of your own time.
What is the whole purpose of even posting on this site?
Are you feeling low? Have you nobody else to talk to in your life? I can't figure out why anyone would hang out on a site talking to people who do not even interest them.... you put everyone down, including yourself. That is sad.
You tell me that you don't have me on ignore so I am suppose to chill out? I wasn't aware of the fact that I even needed to "chill". I wasn't "hot". I'm tired though. Tired of your tired attitude. If you are bored here, I really think you need to find some excitement. This obviously isn't the place for you.
Well, Margo, we all know the real reason "barclays" keeps posting, but we're not allowed to specifically say it.
shareWell, I'm stumped. If this is "ben", why haven't one of the mods taken care of this by now?
shareMaybe because they don't think it is Ben, but another member who's all the same something of a pain but not nearly as bad as he is?
shareMost likely. I don't really care if it's him or not.
I do think it's sort of silly to put people on ignore, take them off just to see what they are saying, and then make a thread saying that there are people on ignore.
Why bother at all?
I still think that if we are all bores here, why not find something else to amuse one's self? The internet has endless entertainment.
I feel the same way, and it *is* stupid to put people on ignore and then create a thread just to tell them to "get a life" and not talk about or to him/her anymore.
Also agree that if the OP thinks so poorly about the people who are here and the threads or posts they make, why stick around? Furthermore, why write posts saying others are "complainers" yet be a "complainer" oneself.
/rant
To answer your retarded questions, basically i refuse to allow anyone to dictate where i go or what i post about. I hardly ever post on this site to begin with and it will stay like that til i get ready to dump this place. There wont be a warning either. It will be like one day i was here and the next minute, im gone.
share🍻
shareI'm not.
share🍻
shareI just said that I wasn't angry. Are you calling me a liar?
share🍻
shareWell you perceived wrong. Just because I really do not care about most of the people here feelings, does not mean that i am angry. If you want to blame anyone for my lack of compassion, blame yourselves. I was attacked first. All i did was post in a thread about trolls. I was trying to reason with people just like the op. I went to someone's defense. Ever since I have been treated like crap so excuse me for not caring about your feelings. Excuse me for using direct language. I just do not care.
Also, i have tried to start positive threads and be nice. Right away i was attacked. You do it to me and all other legitament newbies. Forget about this site getting popular and you have yourself to blame. Congratulations for isolating yourselves. Tmdb is growing like a weed. The posters there are not petty or gang up on others. It is a completely different type of crowd, completely refreshing. Tmdb posters like the mods too. The mods at tmdb do not have to weild an iron fist with us.

Honestly it boggles my mind you all haven't gotten on each other's nerves yet. I suppose it is that birds of a feather flock together behavior.
share☠️
Actually, "barclays" only attempts to deflect questions. But since it's so obvious, he/she (whatever it is this week) never succeeds. As far as the negativity and hair-trigger temper, well, again, many know why, but we can't say it directly.
share"It's hard to overcome a stigma that is already attached to you. I get that.
You do yourself no favors when you start posts about movies you don't like or attack
people without merit for something they may like or believe.
A little tact would go a long way."
Bored or not, those are all excellent observations and words of advice.
In other words, you enjoy being miserable on a site you don't care for. The reason? You refuse to allow anyone to dictate where and what you can post about. Why not spread the misery around, right?
When you decide to leave, I really don't care if there is a warning or not. I doubt if I'll notice it when you decide to "dump this place". Then again, I probably will. Things will be just a bit cheerier around here.
Actually I don't enjoy being miserable which is why I don't post often. See the difference in your post count compared to mine. I find that the majority of regular posters here to be either very petty or unfriendly to outsiders. Which is extremely contrary to their aspirations of making this site as popular as imdb was. It seems as though you guys either do not mean what you say or are talking a whole lot of bullshit. And I personally cannot stand either trait. I hate petty people and bullshitters. It puts me in a bad mood and I am sorry that all you guys want to do is talk about the same things repeatedly and are not open to different types of threads. I am not the problem here. Trust me.
shareOutsider? Good grief! A few months ago we were all outsiders when IMDb shut down it's boards. You aren't any different. Now who's talking bullshit?
I won't speak for anyone else, but I don't get your whole attitude. We have had some decent exchanges in the past and then one day you call my thread stupid. I was bewildered, but I didn't get mad.
Suddenly you make a thread like this. It just seems as though you don't care for anyone.
Stay if you want. That's up to you and nobody else. Just don't complain if you find a whole lot of people "talking a whole lot of bullshit".
Goodnight.
Furthermore, underneath your seemingly happy-go-lucky demeanor, just below the surface something very nasty is bubblingly up. Your microagression is quite obvious once you read a few pages on this board. It is all so fake.. Congratulations for isolating yourselves. I barely post here so you cannot blame me. But nice try.
"I hate petty people and bullshitters."
So, in other words, you have a lot of self-hate going on...
I forbid you to post about butterflies.
shareDon't worry. I don"t even like them.
shareWell, that's just not nice.
shareKilling them on sight would be mean. I simply just ignore them. I don't wear anything with butterflies on it either. No big deal. I'm done with this thread.
sharePromise ? 😁

Huh? You're baffling me again.
share[deleted]
Yeah, really. My username has been explained at least twice here now. And what does that even have to do with the content of the thread?

I'm fun loving. Why are you getting on my case about contributing to the joking here when you blatantly tossed about the word " troll " yourself ?
share[deleted]
I don't know why. It's short and sweet and users have the convenient advantage of shortening it even further to only two characters. And I still don't see how it's relevant.
Suit yourself. It appears to me, you're suddenly the prickly one.
It's always looked to me that way too, because I never read past the DB. But now I see it's more simple than I'd thought: first DB + 20 in the middle + the last DB.
share🍻
shareYou got my point, dewey.
Don't know. What is it about that post that would provoke such an inexplicable reaction ? Especially when it reinforces her point.
"There wont be a warning either. It will be like one day i was here and the next minute, im gone."
Oh, please, no! That could cause a worldwide catastrophe from which the planet will never recover!
BTW, if you plan on leaving, what, exactly are you getting ready for, as you noted above? Is it a legitament reason, or is it that you just don't give a dann?
[deleted]
No warning. Oh dear. I guess that means we won't have time to plan the 'Bye Felicia' party?
I'll just stock up on beer and popcorn in advance. It's non perishable.
"I can ignore people if I want to, if I really don't give a dann if I never interact with them again. "
making threads directed at them *IS* interacting with them.
the opposite of ignoring someone is giving them attention.
'They are so stupid for replying to someone that has them on ignore.'
Okay, they are the stupid ones...
^ This.
shareWho are they?
shareWhoever 'they' are, they are smarter than the OP because they have succeeded in triggering this outburst. Barc has a meltdown and the people he ignored just sit back and laugh. So you tell me who is the stupid one...
I think we always knew the answer to that one....
shareThere is no doubt about stupidity. The OP has proven that by starting this thread. It was dumb, BUT........
I do have no doubt that this fool is sitting back and laughing at us for keeping his thread going. He probably started this just to read what people have to say about him. As usual, he/she was bored. He isn't ignoring ANYONE!
Now I can say that I am no different from anyone here. Why???? I just bumped his stupid thread.
"Forget about this site getting popular and you have yourself to blame. Congratulations for isolating yourselves. Tmdb is growing like a weed. The posters there are not petty or gang up on others. It is a completely different type of crowd, completely refreshing"
Hmmm...is there any poster who makes a habit of putting down this site while trying to draw people to another? I seem to recall there might be, but the name escapes me....
