<p>Many of you have probably already done this, but for those who haven't:</p>
<p>Go into "my control panel". Under "settings & options", click "edit ignore list".</p>
<p>Add a name, click okay, and you're all set. It doesn't stop trolls from signing on under new screen names, but you can pretty much tell who's who by the tone of their posts. And there's no limit to the number you can add to your "ignore list".</p>
<p>Now maybe CC can go back to being informative and useful again.</p>
<p>what happens when you ignore someone? do their posts just no longer show up when you view a thread? but what if no one else has ignored that person and they all reply to a post by that person (whom you’ve ignored). wouldn’t you just get really confused?</p>
<p>That’s correct, when you ignore someone, you can no longer view their posts. Of course, you can change it back by going through the same process, but methinks once you realize how nice it is, you won’t want to change back. :)</p>
<p>Yes, others who can read the post can reply to it. I’m suggesting this as a way to ignore interestingguy, who has made himself persona non grata by arrogantly and baselessly bashing several universities, Duke included. Many people have already put him on their ignore list, but if somebody does indeed respond to him, rather than being confused, I would think you’d be happy that you spared yourself the beating and the other poor soul did not.</p>
<p>^ Thanks. I’ll add you to my list.</p>
<p>if you ignore someone, you’ll still see that he/she has made a post. You’ll just see a message that says person X is on your ignore list and has made a post or something like that. And if you want to see it, then you go and remove that person from the list. Personally I think the system could be improved if you can selectively choose to see a post without having to go through the removal process.</p>
<p>k, thanks. yeah, i think i’ll probably make use of it pretty soon =)</p>
