you appear on both my buddy list and the users online list...

uh ohh, people will know that we are buddies, hmmmmmmm.

Hmmm... Spanky dear? If I'm "hidden", then I shouldn't appear on either of these, yes?

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 5:22 pm

So the plonk thing is an ignore feature? Nice

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 5:22 pm

I got you on my list too (from contact management) There are a bunch of links that say

view topic with ignored data

embedded in posts.

bullD · Post by **bullD** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 5:24 pm

so, darn, when we ignore, it would seem that the ignoree has no idea that they have been plonked/ignored. is this good or bad?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 5:24 pm

And now you're my buddy mwahaha. You can switch someone from ignore to buddy real easy. Sort of that love hate thing.

In exploring this option from many angles I've come to believe that ignoree SHOULDN'T know that they have been ignored. The most responsible way to use a plonk is to use it to turn off what you don't want to hear, not to "punish" someone or give them a "nyeah nyeah, I can't hear you".

Telling them they've been plonked will only add fuel to their fires, and distract from the experience - by ignoring a user who's getting your goat, you can just focus on the folks who you want to hear from, and the plonkee won't get any traction for his or her nastiness in the first place.

So please, if we're any of us going to use that handy ignore feature, let's use it to keep our own peace, not to punish people or make them look foolish.

I agree. (you know we were just trying it on for size, right? Just foolin' with the new toys)

Just a note that this "Contact List feedback" should be in the contact list feedback thread

We are working on the "popup window too small to be useful" problem right now....to be followed by the "blank popup" mystery.

You mean no more e-drinkin with you GE?

No more laps?

No more kitty scritches?!?

(tears begin to well up in eyes)

Fine... I understand. I can take it. *sniff*

boring and no play is just what I've always wanted. It causes me to loose focus when I'm working on metal pieces for outfits, but have it your way.

Hey Heli... You can be my buddy!!

I'll even help you build another hot tub.

Hey Sputnik!!

Like any new place, we just gotta break it in, I suppose.

My new tent is on it's way to me. 10X20 feet, BIG. It will go past the Empire store in August on its way to Apokiliptika so this is not thread drift. Right?

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 7:15 pm

Here's a beer SPanky that I bought at the Empire store, its kinda warm but have it anyway.
