Ignoring Users

[junkmart 320]

I find the IGNORE USER feature very helpful. But I just discovered that we can't IGNORE USER if that user also happens to be an organizer. I wonder why we can't ignore them as well, since they are giving their personal opinions most of the time. Sure would like to be able to block some of their opinions from showing up on my feed.

Can't ignore Organizers or Moderators.

Send a PM to Penguin_ie (our Lead Moderator) to tell her your reasoning.

Understood. Sure wish they would take their position of authority into account when posting in their unofficial capacity, or make a separate account for moderation. It can get confusing when they are both a very opinionated poster, and a moderator. Although everyone has a right to their opinion. Don't want to officially complain about someone (its not you), fearing the backlash, which is why ignoring them is such a useful feature. I'll just put my big boy pants and suck it up. Thanks for your reply.

 

EDIT: you actually just removed the posts of the person I wish I could ignore, so thanks again!

No backlash.  If you think something, perhaps others do, too.

We can't have the best experience here unless good members provide feedback.

Isn't it better to hear even the negative on here rather than discover the same when a person gets to an interview

after all the CO's we deal with also have negative and personal opinions

and this is just my opinion but i would rather know what i face before i get to each stage

Hi. The specific posts I was referring to were not providing opposing viewpoints or negative information with regard to OPs post. I didn't report the posts, as I felt there was nothing to report other than my not wanting to see that post, which I felt they had every right to post and was therefore me being sensitive. That is why I wanted to choose to block them from my feed. Now I've learned, after the posts were deleted by VJ mod, again, without my reporting them, that these types of posts are called "non-contributory".

 

So, to answer your questions, no I do not believe it is better to have these non-contributory posts polluting VJ, and possibly keeping people from reading useful advice.

Feel 100% free to report noncontributory (which can also be off-topic) posts.
