yesterday Peter posted "Paid section on PBH?" which included the phrase "The paid element should keep trolls out, it would be heavily moderated," ... this spawned a lot of discussion about trolls, undesirables, moderation, voting, rules and the ignore button ... MaBarker spoke to the lack of incentive for anyone to use the ignore feature and suggested a two-way ignore feature and/or "if 25 people had the same person on ignore, then that would be a signal for moderator action" ...
... upon reflection, i thought why not take it out of the moderators hands and let the "social software" take action ... if some critical mass (25...10...30...whatever #) of members put "fulano" on ignore then the ONLY user that would see fulano's posts/comments would be fulano ... members and non-member visitors would not be able to see fulano talking to himself ... i think this feature would give every member an incentive to use the ignore feature AND to avoid behavior which would cause them to be put on "ignore" ...
... thoughts...?

capt_j says on Nov 4, 2009, 10:50: It has gotten so this site is only readable by use of the ignore button. Anything that would discourage flaming and trolling and not requiring mod input, because the mods don't do a whole lot.

MaBarker says on Nov 4, 2009, 10:55: I'm sure this is something that can be abused, like more people would have multiple accounts to access those that used the double ignore............but it's worth a try.

MaBarker says on Nov 4, 2009, 12:04: papi, i understand why you say the ignore button is for wusses. that's the reason for the double ignore. you are then empowered to 'remove' the person from the site with the double ignore. being that it empowers, it won't then be seen as a wuss action.

Miguel_Clavo says on Nov 4, 2009, 12:12: A "GONG Button" would be more appropriate...for example, if a person like, say KY, gets enough GONG votes, then he stands in front of everyone and gets GONGed out of PBH.....works for me.

johnny2009 says on Nov 4, 2009, 12:16: How about a "sicario button" paid for by the revenue from the paid section of the site. If someone gets 10 sicario votes then an IP hitman turns up on an IP motorbike at the user's IP address and fills them with IP bullets.

MaBarker says on Nov 4, 2009, 16:51: MC, a double ignore eliminates the pussy designation because you are now empowered to remove someone from the site as far as your own comments are concerned. It is not being a pussy to use the double ignore.

LA_Love says on Nov 4, 2009, 19:49: IGNORING A USER FOR THEIR COMMENTS IS NOT A SOLUTION, SOME TIMES YOU CAN'T NOTE WHY CONVERSATION TOPICS CHANGE SO FAST, AND ANOTHER USERS START TO WRITE THING ABOUT THEIR SENSES OR RESPECT, BUT YOU DON'T KNO WHY..... IS BECAUSE THIS USER HURT SENSES OF ANOTHER USERS.

billyb says on Nov 4, 2009, 19:59: I know, my ears are still ringing.

flynn flanagan says on Nov 5, 2009, 01:46: I visit one site where the person that starts the forum, is the owner of said. This owner has the power to delete any comment in the forum. Although I was against it at first, due to 1st amendmant issues, it has worked out quite well. People tend to allow contention and contrary views, but delete the comments of the 4 year olds the like to throw their oatmeal on the floor.
