1000 follower limit

[Valkiria]

Actually, I just hit the 1000 user limit on users ignored today. I've got no interest in gay or trans discussions, so I just ignore folks I'm not interested in or who have interests or are discussing topics I'm interested in. Buuuut now I can't continue to fine tune what I'd like to see because of this imposed limit. Is there a way to increase it on a per user basis? It is an arbitrary limit that should be able to be overridden on a subclass of the basic user object or on a per user setting override. There's no technical reason for that to be a hard limit for all users.

Is raising that limit to 2000 on a per user basis a request that would be considered? Thanks.

You ignored 1000 people in the forum? Are there that many active participants? And you want to ignore even more? No offense, but why don't you create your own forum where only you participate and only you write?

I've ignored 1000 dick avatars. Periodically have to go through it clearing out banned accounts so I can ignore more.

I just try not to notice dick and pussy avatars. It's true that there are a lot of imbeciles, but are there really over 1000 with dick pic avatars?
I only ignore people with extremely disgusting avatars. I check periodically, and if someone is no longer active, I remove them from my ignore list. That's why I don't have a single person on my ignore list at the current moment.

Well, yeah. I want to see what interests me, not what doesn't. I'm not counting, but as I said, I'm simply not into gay or trans discussions, so why should I see them if I have the option to ignore the people who are into them?

Basically, I click on "New posts" in the forum and just ignore those in M/M, twink or trans discussions or users. It would be easier if we could just ignore topics or subsections of the forum that we aren't interested and that would filter the posts in "New posts" but we can't, so as far as I know, ignoring users is the only option we have. Similar to what you mentioned, on the female side of things I know more than a few ladies out there who would rather not look at yet another dick pic as a user's icon and ignoring the user is an option. They could easily ignore those users as they see them if they wished. Hell, back when I used Reddit for about 10 years, the equivalent of the ignore button was a key tool I used to filter out topics and users that didn't concern me.

Actually, I'll use your tip. After reading your reply I realized that there probably are a lot of users who have been booted who probably still in my ignore list.

Anyway, I'm as surprised as you are that I blocked or ignored 1000 users, but I'll ask the question to you and others, "When visiting the New Threads page, I would prefer to see a list of what I may be interested in without the posts that I'm not. What better option do we have?"

We all really want to see what interests us, not what doesn't, right? So, how do we get there?

Thanks for getting me thinking.

Bet you can't hit 1001. I double dog dare you.

So, I can tell you're not a programmer. But yeah, that concept already exists. It's called a diary. And if I did, I wouldn't be able to read your sassy replies, ;b. Currently, I think you're the only user left I haven't ignored. But there's that limit, so I guess I'm screwed. ;b heh. /s/s/s/s

Wow. I was just thinking that people might do exactly that. And there you were doing exactly that. I'll consider myself lucky that I passed on putting up a Richard Nixon caricature as my icon to poke fun at dick pics.

Are there that many active participants? And you want to ignore even more?

1. I have no idea if they are active or not. I wasn't keeping track. Seems like I need to now.
2. Yep. Maintaining my zenlike calm and peaceful serenity is my daily goal. As long as new users join the site who are interested in what I'm not, yep, I do.

I've tried this before and it didn't work. You have to learn not to deal with people.
In real life there is no ignore button, you have to learn to just avoid people without thinking, like an emotionless robot.

Simply put, removing what you don't want leaves you with what you do. So why not do that?

If you value your time, how can you not do that?

It works very well for me. This approach puts what I don't want to hear about out of sight and out of mind. As an example, it's not worth watching political figures you don't care about (or even that piss you off), especially when there's nothing you can do nothing about it. And when you put in front of your eyeballs what interests you (as opposed to what doesn't) your mood improves, save time and are more productive. Your day is better. If news is pissing you off or upsetting you, don't watch it. Removing what pulls you down leaves you with what doesn't and what pulls you back up. In that respect, filtering out people and topics I have no interest in before a page loads means what I see on the screen isn't a list I need to wade through to get to what I might want. Less time wasted too. And my filtering out what I'm not interested in doesn't prevent anyone else from seeing what they want to see, whether it matches my preferences or not. It's a win win. Having done this for a while, I can't think why anyone wouldn't do this.

Look at it this way. If I don't care about cricket as a sport and news shows it to me, I filter it out. Problem solved. I've found that the quality of my day improves when I'm not presented with what I don't care about, don't want to know about or actively dislike. We all do this filtering somewhat to the extent that we can. I've just found that when you remove what you're not interest in from your life, what's left just might be what you're looking for. Even if the day doesn't go any better, it will certainly suck less. Isn't that what we're all hoping for?

I'm a big fan of the ignore button. If someone is constantly abusive, posting without checking their post first to see if it's in coherent English, twisting every thread into their personal agenda, continually making things up, is excessively verbose, etc...then yes, they'll end up on my ignore list.
