Tip of the Day

It's an option. I don't like putting people on Ignore because if people talk or react to profiles on an ignore list, then some threads stop making sense.

Instead, I usually hide individual threads as they're created or bumped. That also cleans up the feed, but individual threads still make sense.

That's a good tip. I guess once I Hide an individual thread, there is no way to unhide it.

(Ignore - I can take a person off from Ignore list)

Nope. That's not true.

1. Click "Dashboard" in main mneu.

2. On the resulting page, click "Hidden Discussions" at the bottom of the list (above "Log out").

3. You'll see a list of "Hidden Discussions". Right under each title, you can click "UNHIDE".

Just in case you ever want to see SJG talk about "Zoroastrianism and Transistor Radios" or CJkent be creepy or chum the digital waters with liberal bait for the conservatives here who love to give him exactly what he wants (attention).

I completely agree. My issue is when a new member checks out this site and they see all that spam bullshit, they are going to say to themselves "errrrr let me GTFO of here now"

It's a cancer to any new members. To me I propose to founder that you have a two or three thread limit on the front page to prevent spamming. It is just so fucking incessant.

"I'm surprised San Jose Guy is not #1 on Most Ignored List. "



At one time he was. I don't recall the exact number of ignores but I believe it was over 100.

My theory is that during the period that he lost his library internet access and couldn't post some people that had him on ignore removed him after seeing various comments from others discussing him being AWOL.
My prediction is that his ignores will once again go up as he continues to post and more people get tired of seeing him flood the board with his irrelevant spam.

It's also true that in SJG's welcomed absence, other users stepped up their "game" to take a lead.

I agree with Muddy that the discussion boards are discouraging for new members. I believe that's a reason why there's a lot of users who only post and comment on reviews.

^ It says top 40 ignored based on last 18 months of activity. I would expect defunct aliases to drop as they become forgotten, and more recent trolls/spammers/idiots to rise back up.

I doubt SJG has picked up fans--more than pre-COVID, he just talks to himself. No one gives more of a shit about his cockamamie rantings now than they did before.

I don't have anyone on ignore but do hide threads.

"It says top 40 ignored based on last 18 months of activity."


Yeah I missed the fine print, that mostly explains why he dropped more than 50% but you can bank on my prediction that his ignore count will go up. He'll probably be number 1 again by winter.

Thread ignore seems like it was created with SJG in mind. Put all his threads on ignore, and it's like he's still not returned from his COVID break.

The good thing is that he doesn't incessantly spam every thread with 'buying dances is a chumps game'. Because of that, he is more bearable than before.

Hopefully I haven't jinxed it.

I don’t use ignore or those other functions. I’ve developed somewhat of a selective viewing ability? If SJG is the discussion creator - it’s like the discussion doesn’t exist to me. Lol!

It must be like the selective hearing some folks develop over the years!

I agree, his posts are littering the discussions again. In my excitement over his return, I forgot what a bore he can be.

san_jose_creep is the village idiot of TUSCL. Some villagers shut their windows to block out his babbling from the town square at all hours of the night. Some just tune it out all night long. Some yell at him and throw out their garbage at him from outside their own windows. It matters not to san_jose_creep, as babbling from the town square is what keeps him "sane".

Other than the moronic collections of Ricks, suck as Rick the homo Lion I have no one on ignore. Dougster is a douche under every and any name.

Good tips guys.
CMI thanks - yes I see Ignore list and Hide list. So can put on and take off from either.
