 | | jnpope: Maybe CG could use ignore-lists as a form of whistle blowing. Set some threshold value and run a periodic cron-job to alert the site management... if a large enough number of users are actively ignoring someone then perhaps the ignored user should be investigated to see why members are opting to ignore that user. I would personally set a second cron-job value that when exceeded would ghost the user. Basically putting them on a global ignore-list and the only way to read their posts would be to log-in and explicitly follow that user by choice. Such a feature would probably go a long way into cleaning up the forums for the general public. Probably numerous other uses for monitoring ignore-list choices. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <jnp> that already happens. It's called the PITA program. |
|
Jan-06-23
| | jnpope: I don't think that is an automated feature...
I like the cron-job aspect... you have been voted off the island (and ghosted) by your peers! |
|
| Jan-06-23 | | stone free or die: <OCF> is right, at least in the past. I believe it was disabled once <bippy>'s manipulation via sock armies was matched in kind. . |

| | jnpope: <Susan>, we are starting to run low on dedicated Biographers in the Bistro and if I'm going to hang around I may as well be useful when I can be, so I wouldn't be opposed to having expanded abilities in the same vein as User: jessicafischerqueen, User: MissScarlett and User: Stonehenge to add/modify source tags and to fix move errors (i.e. becoming a super-editor). |
|
| Jan-07-23 | | stone free or die: I'd second that. In fact, shouldn't all editors really have the same powers - save for moderating? |

 | | Susan Freeman: <jnpope> I see no reason to not grant you that. Let me talk to Steve. Thank you for your offer |
|
| Jan-11-23 | | Honest Adin Reviews: susan, some of the commercials you post here, dont have options to be taken down, that's problem cuz one already has stuff written down and when one takes that crap down, one loses tons of info which must be retyped... change my name to Honest AdiN Reviews |
|
Jan-11-23
| | Susan Freeman: <Honest> For $29 you can block all ads. problem solved. |
|
| Jan-12-23 | | Schwartz: Do you have bots surfing your site? There are so very many ads. |
|
Jan-12-23
| | Susan Freeman: <Schwartz> re the ads, did you not block them? |
|
| Jan-15-23 | | Honest Adin Reviews: YEA, susan dont hide chessgames shame, commercials are killing good edits as explained, nothing to do with membership and how hard is it to change my name to AdiN? |

Did you get a chance to speak with Steve? |
|
Jan-23-23
| | Susan Freeman: <jnpope> Yes, and he is in favor of it. He is in the middle of a project, and half my IT team is out sick. Will get back to you ASAP. CG appreciates your kind offer! |

 | | fredthebear: <Jan-07-23 stone free or die: I'd second that. In fact, shouldn't all editors really have the same powers - save for moderating?> All editors are NOT the same and should not have the same (maximum) powers. The chief moderator has a heavy bias, routinely turning a blind eye toward pals/abusive editors and targeting whoever the pals suggest. One of the worst behaved members on this website is a habitually cruel editor who does not refrain from systemic personal attacks. Members should be allowed to evaluate editors on a yearly basis for their removal. All editors need to remove members from their Ignore list. All editors need to be approachable and aware of all posts, not ignore certain users. Specifically, jnpope needs to clear Ignore list. |

| Jan-24-23 | | stone free or die: <<FtB> All editors need to remove members from their Ignore list. All editors need to be approachable and aware of all posts, not ignore certain users. Specifically, jnpope needs to clear Ignore list.> First of all, this isn't really <FtB>'s bailiwick. Secondly, I find it very convenient that he specifically mentions <jnpope> and not <OCF>. Finally, editors are really quite separate from moderators. It's clear that <FtB>'s issue is with moderators, not editors.

 | | perfidious: Why should I remove that user from ignore? So he can routinely post abuse on my page? So I am forced to view everything emanating from that quarter? <I> will choose when, as and if to read his output--he does not get to dictate that! |
|
Jan-24-23
| | fredthebear: Right on cue. They just love to read my posts, follow me everywhere and leave their droppings behind. <The chief moderator has a heavy bias, routinely turning a blind eye toward pals/abusive editors and targeting whoever the pals suggest.

 | | moronovich: The ignore function is a private matter. Period. |

| | fredthebear: How can one be an effective, impartial manager and ignore others? Would it be fair for the person in charge to say "I'll listen to a wise old bear but I'm going to ignore all the morons." That doesn't sound very fair to me. If someone can't take the noise from all sides in all directions, maybe they ought not be in management. perfidious can dish it out, but he sure can't take it. Doesn't want to hear that he's wrong. He thinks being the meanest, nastiest poster wins the argument. So not true! The truth wins. |

| | jnpope: And I'm definitely not looking to become a moderator! As a volunteer editor I can already update player and event biographies. All I'm seeking is to become a super-editor to manage game/event data and I'm only doing that because we are running low on active super-editor members. I have zero interest in screening posts and acting as a referee to those that enjoy bickering with each other. |

| Jan-25-23 | | stone free or die: <<FtB> Right on cue. They just love to read my posts, follow me everywhere and leave their droppings behind.> Oh dear bear-cub-man, please recall you first popped in here quoting me. * * * *
<<FtB> How can one be an effective, impartial manager and ignore others?> OK, now we have editors, moderators, and managers all conflated. |

| | fredthebear: Moaning troll should note the difference between Jan-7 and Jan-24. Typical troll pollution personally targeting the member by our leading troll. Obviously FTB is on-the-mark with the need for awareness fairness to serve ALL instead of the preferred. Anyone who does not wish to serve ALL fairly, kindly, impartially should not be given titled privileges. Remove those members on Ignore! Be careful what you wish for <jnope>. Troll is foaming at the mouth to tell you what to do like it tells everybody else what to do. If you don't do what leading troll says, you'll be harassed like so many others have. Troll will be friendly at first, baiting you with sugar. We've seen it so many times; troll has put self in charge of everyone. Best of luck to you, jnope. Your efforts thus far have been productive, helpful. |

Jan-26-23
| | Susan Freeman: <FTB> <jnpope> is correct in saying you are confusing moderating with editing. Totally different on many levels. |
|
| Jan-27-23 | | stone free or die: <Suzz>, it was me what said it. (<jnpope> has enough horse sense to ignore errant bears) |
