Re: Post here if you want to be on the \'OOT Elites\' ignore list
something tells me everyone here takes themselves too seriously. not that i post much of anything, especially with any decent content, but who gives a [censored]? what should i do, pile up as many posts as i can saying "Do you see why?" or "NH sir"? id rather be blacklisted than become one of the drones who think this internet forum actually matters in the big picture. ignore on bruh.
Love, Greenthumb

Can someone please explain to me what is so wrong with OOT? I spend my time here and to be honest I find the signal to noise ratio to be exceptionally high versus many other forums out there. I could see where an argument could be made for a sports forum, but that's about it. Sure, you've got some trolls, you've got some crapflooders, and you've some assholes. Every forum out there has 'em. But you've also go the standard "Hey, we need to clean up this forum!" flag wavers that you do everywhere else. Personally, I think the forum is fine, alive, and well. If someone annoys you then just block them. There doesn't need to be a concensus or some sort of "club" to it. This is all much ado about nothing. It's not much more than an attempt to return the thread to the "olden days" when people generally talked more about stuff the old hand's cared about instead of more about things that were just generally OOT. FWIW - I think it's a control issue.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] we don't. it just works better if everyone ignores the same people. less noise, that's all. [/ QUOTE ] its not really less noise, its just you dont see it, which is the same as if you as an individual chose to ignore them. I just dont get why the people who think this will work, think that if 20 or so people (out of several hundrd) ignore a group of people, it will cause that group of people to stop posting. [/ QUOTE ] i think it DOES cut down noise, because if i just block someone on my own, that really doesn't cut anything down. but if a group blocks someone, then that blocked person is less likely to get as many replies to his/her worthless posts, is that not correct? [/ QUOTE ] The group that would block someone would not be likely to reply anyway, even if they had not blocked the worthless poster. Conversely, those that would reply would not be likely to update their ignore list anyway. No?

Re: Post here if you want to be on the \'OOT Elites\' ignore list
i'm not sure this is true
some people still respond to retards.. why? i don't know for instance the jesus spammer, why can't he just post.. and then his post just dies and gets washed away with the rest of OOT crap.. why? why must people constantly bump it, and worse, only to say something like "LOL RELIGION IS STUPID DOOD GO 2 HELL LOL"

i think everyone is seriously misinterpreting buster's idea. [/ QUOTE ] I dont think I am misinterpreting it. I do like OOT despite its flaws, and the fact that I might offend some elite group of posters, and then consequently they will may or may not ignore me for the future really sucks. I like a ton of the guys that Buster put on the list, but I dont want to have to worry about what I say all the time. What I think a lot of the supporters of the idea don't realize is that this group of posters is so far from perfect that there is no way their opinion on 'allowable content' would be anything reasonably organized or correct.

Re: Post here if you want to be on the \'OOT Elites\' ignore list
i don't think you have to worry or "watch what you say" at all. i was under the impression that only the most obvious of retards who post nothing but drivel would be group ignored, not just ignore someone because you don't like them, or don't like their ideas. [joke to follow about me being the person that posts nothing but drivel]
for instance i don't really like alobar but i wouldn't ignore him, that's stupid.

It may have come across elitist, but the concept isn't.
