Strongly disagree. You don't want to see my posts, but I sure like being able to see yours.

I don't think anyone should be able to ignore me.

Fewer stupid opinions. Can someone work on that?

Yes! RD isn't ignoring me!

Not sure why you'd ignore Kilgore. I never see anything controversial from him.

Oh yeah?

Add reciprocal ignore so people I have on ignore can't see my posts.

You already can prevent people from seeing your posts if you don't want them to.

I don't think others should have control over what I see on the board

10/19/17 2:24pm
They already do. This would give you more control of who can or cannot see your
BYUtka
10/19/17 2:38pm
My way of determining who can see my posts is posting FO. Other than that I shouldn't be able to alter other's viewing
spugeddy24
10/19/17 2:39pm
Why are you good with FO but not recip ignore? What's the difference?
Ulysses14
10/19/17 6:44pm
I'm comfortable sharing personal details of my life with my FO.* Not the general
AndyDwyer
10/19/17 7:01pm
I'm saying still have FO but add a recip ignore option too
Ulysses14
10/19/17 7:17pm
Yep, very different purposes.
BYUtka
10/19/17 7:27pm
Yes, reciprocal ignores are meant to control the experiences of others.
AndyDwyer
10/19/17 7:30pm
No, they are to give you more nuanced control over your own posts.
BYUtka
10/19/17 7:40pm
By not allowing certain others to see your posts. Sounds like FO.
AndyDwyer
10/19/17 7:49pm
Then you don’t understand. I suspect you are not understanding on purpose.
BYUtka
10/19/17 8:34pm
Sounds like what Jefe says to me during appeals.

By controlling other's ability of what they can see.
spugeddy24
10/20/17 1:44pm
That already happens in a bulky way. This makes it more nuanced and potentially
BYUtka
10/20/17 2:26pm
That isn't the point....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:09am
Because I shouldn't be able to control the main board.

Why do you want to see his posts so badly....
CoachSpeak
10/19/17 10:05pm
General users should not be able to control the CB experience of other users. That power is limited to mods acting in
DapperDan
10/20/17 6:42am
I think GenPop would benefit because fewer people would be pushed "underground"
Ulysses14
10/20/17 6:49am
Two things. First, why do you think general users should be able to control other's CB experience?
DapperDan
10/20/17 6:52am
1) They already can via FO. If more people are comfortable with GenPop
Ulysses14
10/20/17 6:56am
FO is not genpop. FO is your playground to control. Genpop is not yours to control
DapperDan
10/20/17 8:04am
Some trolls just can't admit that it would force them to stop trolling.
Division Bell
10/20/17 8:05am
You weren't even on CB when the feature existed. It didn't do what you think it would do.
DapperDan
10/20/17 8:07am
I still think it's worth a try.
Division Bell
10/20/17 8:19am
It's been tried. It doesn't work the way you or BYUtka think it does.
DapperDan
10/20/17 8:22am
Yes. It does, and it makes CB a better place for non-trolls.
BYUtka
10/20/17 9:38am
By non-trolls, you mean"snowflakes".
Superkid
10/20/17 9:42am
Maybe....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 9:48am
Why are you harrassing me with your thdowns? Are you a troll?
DapperDan
10/20/17 9:48am
No, I don’t do that. I am disagreeing with your post without having to type a
BYUtka
10/20/17 9:56am
Abusing the feature is considered harrassment
DapperDan
10/20/17 9:57am
As it should be.
BYUtka
10/20/17 9:58am
You probably should disengage. It's embarrassing.
Division Bell
10/20/17 10:16am
I'm starting to feel bad for him too
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:17am
This is a perfect example of the point I am making....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:41am
You mean Division Bell coming to your aid as part of a coordinated group attack?
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:46am
I can see I've hit a nerve...
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:57am
The one that makes me laugh

Funny how those most outspoken against liberal "safe spaces" are the ones most loudly in favor of it on CB.

Reciprocal ignore is about turning your genpop experience into an echo chamber

No. Ignore could accomplish that. Recip refines the experience and removes the
BYUtka

But this is not really true....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:04am
haha and the conspiracy theories come out. Glad I've got my tinfoil hat on.
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:05am
There's no "conspiracy theory" at all....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:13am
You're literally making up a conspiracy theory that isn't true. How can I not laugh about it?
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:15am
What "conspiracy theory" am I "making up"?
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:22am
The entire thing. What is happening is that people who disagree with posts are *gasp* disagreeing with them.
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:28am
Glad I could help you out....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:32am
Have you considered the possiblity that if so many people disagree with you
joelvandyne
10/20/17 10:10am
Or even if it's a subjective opinion, that others legitimately disagreeing with it is not coordinated trolling
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:16am
I normally see this as a “vocal minority and a silent majority” situation. Sometimes your assertion

I have considered those points. I think the people making them are wrong.

Hmmm.....
CoachSpeak

Likewise friend. Glad we could have this civil conversation.

If it was simply not seeing people disagreeing the current ignore works just
BYUtka
10/20/17 11:06am
Oh I get it....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 8:26am
I think that's the crux of the matter.
Division Bell
10/20/17 8:31am
That you think this is about any one user's posts shows you don't understand
DapperDan
10/20/17 8:34am
But again, you could have an FO post on here too that I wouldn't be able to see
Ulysses14
10/20/17 8:40am
That's literally the purpose of FO. I don't know why you keep bringing it up.
DapperDan
10/20/17 8:43am
Unfortunately FO is not as "secure" a place as you are trying to pretend it is..
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 8:52am
I've made no claims to FO being secure, so I have no idea why you bring that up.
DapperDan
10/20/17 9:05am
I don't need any "inside knowledge"....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:07am
I'll be honest about accusations that aren't true. Will you?
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:12am
what "accusations" am I making?
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:30am
I really hope you don't believe that nonesense. No one's out to get you, they just don't agree with you
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:35am
Where did I say anyone is out to get "me"?
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 10:45am
You're missing the point. What you see as a coordinated attack is exactly what's happening here. People disagreeing and
DapperDan
10/20/17 10:50am
See you really don't get it....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 11:08am
I get that you imagine this to be the case and honestly it's quite flattering and amusing

DapperDan
10/20/17 11:46am
Maybe you should put us on ignore.
BYUtka
10/20/17 11:51am
No thanks. I've got a great deal on my big boy pants and I'm not about to take them off
DapperDan
10/20/17 11:54am
Let me speak up for CoachSpeak. He’s just trying to get his point across.
IndianaCoug
10/20/17 11:50am
I don't think it is about "any one user's posts"....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 8:40am
If you mean "CB trolling" which means posting opinions that aren't far right or 150% in support of BYU or the Church
DapperDan
10/20/17 8:49am
and for the third or fourth time...
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 8:58am
It's very simple, a general user should not have the power to moderate other's CB experience
DapperDan
10/20/17 9:00am
Why not?
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 9:09am
Since Jefe has removed the feature, you'd make more sense to present an argument for "why"
DapperDan
10/20/17 9:16am
I'm not trying to make an argument for "why"....
CoachSpeak
10/20/17 9:23am
You are looking at this backward. It is about having more control of your own
BYUtka
10/20/17 9:31am
By controlling others. If you want control, post in the FO that you control. That's what I do.
DapperDan
10/20/17 9:50am
You still have this completely backward. At this point I suspect you are missing
BYUtka
10/20/17 9:58am
You're the one with the twisted logic here.

BYUtka
10/19/17 2:48pm
Yes, there is a downside. Your overall ignore score goes up, which impacts how many people can see your posts.

10/19/17 10:32pm
Nope. Unless someone is ignoring a ton of people, the effects would be small but

Oh I get it. You guys are asking for a more safe space to post. That's cute.
Superkid
10/20/17 8:34am
Is that why you use FO? For a safe space?
