Come here to get the Block functionality for Wrongplanet

Post Reply New Topic

If one poster always posts racial remarks or other offensive attitudes then maybe that may be a reason to block that person, although surely the mod team will sort out that as if anyone is breaking the rules repeatedly then it's up to the mods to step in.
If you find yourself bickering with another poster in a one-off discussion just because you both have a different opinion but aren't breaking any rules then I don't see that as a reason to block that poster, as if everybody just blocked each other for those kinds of reasons then this site would become more of an inactive wasteland than what it already is.
That is what I mean about the block feature being overused. It gets overused on Facebook too.

The text colour and theme are part of another script I wrote about 8 months ago.
It integrates into the user control panel and allows the user to change between
light, dark and default styles, change the iconset, change the font size
and font colour etc.

I'd rather be able to block certain threads, although that wouldn't really help anything.

The most effective blocking app is your own mind.

Yes that is true. Like I said before, I'll only block someone as a last resort. If someone isn't personally bullying me or is a threat to my privacy, and the mods are unable to help for some reason, then I will use the block function. Otherwise, if someone is just being a jerk, I will not block them. Some people are only jerks in certain topics but can be interesting in other topics. People need to accept that not everyone has the same opinions.

Some people use a block feature because of their inability to step out of the conversation because they are getting triggered or losing the argument.

In the offline NT world, people who have certain charisma get noticed and agreed with the most.

On WP (and maybe other autism sites), people who often use big words in their posts seem to get noticed and agreed with the most. I may be good at writing and at spelling, grammar and punctuation, and I enjoy it too, but I'm not so good at vocabulary. I can put my thoughts into simple words but I know that if I could come up with bigger words, you know words that can be equivalent to several common words, then I will most probably win more arguments here.
When browsing around the internet I often come across words I've never heard before, and I look them up and find that it's an excellent way to explain exactly what I've been trying to explain, so I write them all down in a little notebook to use when I'm really stuck.
Unfortunately, I'm not always sure how to use the words in a sentence that would make sense.

It's like these threads about "what is NT?" I'd so love to explain what my definition of NT is without having to go round all the houses and basically list every single disorder known to mankind and explain why I think it is or is not NT, making my post really long. But deciding who's NT and who isn't is like trying to explain the colour blue to other people who can see the colour blue.

Is there a way to make this work in Firefox?

Yes, for firefox there's an extension called greasemonkey, and I think there's tampermonkey for firefox too.

remove 'darkred' from style='background:darkred'>Block</button>` if it annoys you, and you can replace it with any color (or leave empty by removing the whole "style='background:darkred'" for the default green).

Thank you.

Could easily understand this would be a benefit ... but. Having little experience with command code , this could be difficult to employ . But. T Y.

being that i lack the genes to grok such, i'll just continue to fast-forward past certain posters as i long have been doing.

I wish the ignore function would block threads by a particular user here.
