Indeed, developing the capacity to ignore that which does not need your attention is a nearly mandatory skill for internet use in general and forum posting in particular.

Too bad for you all that you're the only ones who can't read what your opponents write, unless you turn off your device of ignorance but that would defeat your psychological goal.

As for how to best actually ignore what others say if you don't like them: just don't care.

there's an infinite number of reasons for why people might want to use this tool. no need to get self-righteous. I salute your superior, self-disciplined mind. happy now? :roll:

How do I ignore members?

When I see their names, I skip their posts.

The few people who really bore/annoy me to the extent that I'd rather not read their posts, I just skip over

And now every time my posts are skipped over I'm going to think people have blocked me.

Unfortunately, as I have been demoted, I cannot change the link there to point to somewhere whence the Greasemonkey script can now be obtained (I changed ISPs).

This is what works, now (sourced from my 24/7 home server

)

I would like to be able to make posts without having to constantly read replies of a certain being who loves to obfuscate his posts and contribute nothing to the discussion but funny-sounding verbose insults. It gets old and to be honest I guess everyone in the forum is tired to read us interact. Is there an ignore button? If there is, it is particularly hard to find in this forums. If there isn't, why not add it?

Due to how redirections are done, you actually need to use this, for the present:

Where do I put the names of people I want to block? I downloaded the script in the post above mine.

Edit: Never mind. I have it figured out now.

I'm not a computer techie and really want to block a user from PM'ing me or seeing his posts D: Would anyone be able to help me and explain it step by step. I use Google Chrome, but I'd be willing to use other browsers to use this site if it means not seeing this troll.

Sometimes, sanity requires that. Occasionally they actually have good things to say... very few people are 100% rude.

That greasemonkey thing works. I started using it a while ago. Just don't ask me how to install it because I already forgot.
