It's clear that threads are being hijacked by a small number of people who repeat their already much-debated views whatever the topic. That's fine, you can't stop them from doing it, but it is only has any impact if people respond to their posts. So let's stop replying, however outrageous the comments may be, and they'll hopefully soon find something else to do. Worst case you only have to skip the odd message, rather than the 4/5 pages of replies / counter arguments that are routinely posted.

If we all used the ignore function it would make life much easier.
 
People wouldn't need to keep hijacking threads if only they'd do summat about Ched Evans (who we should get back) Jay McHeavilly (who we should bin) Diego de Girolamo (who should be given a run in the team) and that waste of space Billy Sharp (who should be dropped with immediate effect)
I blame McCabe and the prince for all the above.
Oh yeah, and aren't Wendy doing well?!
 
Instead of an ignore button, why can't there be a block button on your own threads, blocking certain trolls, yes I mean you Barney, from commenting on your thread?

I want an apology.

I've tried to pick out constructive dissenters and Ignore the haters and the miserati. There is a danger of only hearing one side but ask yourself how often the person you're considering Ignoring has posted something that adds to the debate, and take it from there.

I'd pick out alcoblade as an example of someone I often disagree with but who clearly has high standards for the club, and has taught me a thing or two :-)

The problem with Ignore is that if someone you've Ignored starts a thread then you don't see any posts in it at all.

(Unless you can change this in settings?)
 
If everyone made more use of the ignore function everything would be fine. I'm surprised no one has suggested this already! I have Bath Blade and Oreyt on ignore. What could possibly go wrong?
 
The answer in my opinion is not the ignore function, but rather never be provoked into a response.

Bollocks ;) Not you Alco, you're fantastic :D How about that for debate, oh hang on, no need to because sometimes there's nothing to debate and YOU can be wrong along with the rest of us ;)
 
I for one are grateful that since the asylums have closed that S24su.com has become a safe and open environment for people who may, in the past become lost in a nightmare of burocracy.

Without a place to go, some of these unfortunate people, misfits that society would rather not admit to would be sat rocking in the corner of a grey, featureless room smearing the wall with their own shit.

God bless you s24su.com, God bless you.
