doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Great advice!!

Internet anonymity...In certain cases can cause rude, disrespectful and just plain bizarre behavior. Unfortunately; this can manifest as off color, rude, overtly aggressive or irrelevant posts on the board.

Periodically (way more than I'd like); I get complaints about the antics of certain users on the board. I can only assume that the digital world has some how compromised their ability to be considerate and respectful of other members.

Although I am typically in agreement concerning the complaints I do not wish to actively moderate the forum for various reasons.

So in lieu of my whacking a user I'd like to remind all of you about a very useful feature available to all registered users.

The feature is called "Ignore a User".

You can choose to ignore the posts of a particular user, if you wish. Posts from an ignored user will still be shown to preserve the flow of the conversation; however, the body of the ignored user�s posts will be set to �You are ignoring this user�. To ignore a user, click his/her username to go to the profile and click �ignore this user�.

Thank you all for your participation and your patience with these individuals.[u][/u]

Mark,
Have you noticed the new forum for just us professionals? I have suggested users pm me directly regarding posts in that forum so I could add forum members thoughts. Seems to be working well so far.
Steve

The "ignore the user" is not a cure at all, because the "ignored" poster infects many others on a post . One cannot put those other users on "ignore" too. It's just like one rotten apple spoiling the whole batch. Get rid of the rotten apples, don't just "ignore" them.

The sheer volume of posts here would preclude that from working in this forum. May I suggest that some members design an ap, something like the one used in the Iowa Democrat caucus. That seemed to work pretty good. At least insofar as eliminating any candidate that might have any chance of winning in November.
This Double Gun bbs ap if designed correctly should be effective in blocking anything remotely interesting such as hockey, golf, politics and how to date Finnish hotties. (road trip to Munising!)

BrentD�s AMZN (up $10) link worked well so I suggest he be part of the code writing team. I�m sure there must be others with mad computer skills that could help. Any suggestions?

What�s up with the Leafs?

I can help with this Lonesome.

I'd bet my best double shotgun that Mark's motivation for this off-topic thread is a response to jOe confronting him about his use of this site for free advertising of his business. That happened earlier this morning in the DIY Gunsmithing forum.

Instead of responding to jOe by saying that he has integrity and pays Dave Weber every time he makes a sale as a result of his free advertising, his solution instead was to act like a "Fascist" and suggest that jOe should be IGNORED or otherwise silenced.

The apparent solution to being confronted about free advertising and self promotion for Mark's boy-friend SKB Stevie is to have special forums that are restricted to participation by only the free advertisers. Then they could filter out the annoying truth by use of PM's. He would simply censor anyone who dared to mention their free advertising. That behavior sounds a lot like Fascism to me... if you actually bothered to learn the definition of the word.

I very much appreciate the new forum Dave has created for professional members. He accepted my donation the other day and promptly approved my posting privileges not once mentioning advertising.

Just think Stevie, if this was a restricted forum, you could have censored my observation about your free advertising.

On the other hand, you didn't make your little donation until late last year... only after being shamed into it. And you had to be shamed into it this year. However, your boyfriend Mark is still being a freeloader.

I'm pretty sure he would like everyone to IGNORE that!

All that I know for certain about Dave's feelings on people using his forum for self-promotion is his own words. You have seen those words, but choose to do your free advertising in every post you make. And you run away from the question of whether you pay Dave a percentage for every sale you make as a result of your advertising. Everyone else is expected to pay Dave on the honor system after making a sale here.

You seem to feel entitled to operate under a different standard.

Thumb on the pulse? Not so much.

Well, there's the honor system most guys abide by when they advertise, and then make a sale here. They pay Dave $12.00 for each sale.

And then there's your "Complete Lack of Honor System"
