Many members get in trouble because of something another member says. In fact, we see many members getting banned because of this.

Someone says something unkind or sarcastic and it makes another member mad. They respond with name calling and things escalate. A mod steps in to break up the fight and the person that got mad first feels he was provoked and in response to the mod he swears and calls the mod names. Boom, he's banned.

All of this can be avoided by simply ignoring the posters you don't like. That's what you do in real life. And, it's all you have to do here. But, unlike real life we have an "Ignore" function. Put another member on your ignore list and you'll not even see their posts any longer.

We've now made it easier to add people to your ignore list. Just click on their username in a post and you'll see a dropdown list of choices. "Add to Ignore List" is now one of the choices.

So, don't get mad, or get even or get banned. Just ignore the "fools" and you'll be a much happier poster.

PS. You can't ignore a mod or administrator.
