Criteria For Ignoring

I've gotten a little carried away with this ignore function. When back and deleted a few ignores from my list.
Got me to thinking what should be the criteria for such an action.

My criteria:
1. Nasty hurtfull trolls
2. Political hacks that can't discuss an issue without personal attacks and haven't been on a trail in years.
3. Bomb throwers. The posters that start a thread just to still up hate, and then sit back a watch.

The funny or just booring trolls will stay for me.

What's y'alls criteria?

Mostly just the nasty trolls, the ones who like to foul a good thread with their garbage. The political ones tend to stay on the political threads. I ignore those, and the threads started by your #3 category.

This ignore feature is the lamest thing to happen to TT yet. If you don't like someone, skip their damn posts. We're all grown-ups here; we don't need an "I'm an Innefectual Pu$$y" button to ignore people.

p.s.: Hey gramps, did I make your list? ;-)

Believe it or not I don't have a single troll on my list. As Mutt pointed out you can just skip the bs posters. Normally when I read threads and posts I read by posters, not topics. There are soem people here who I haven't read any of their posts in months. I do still like the feature though. My list is mostely regulars who drivle on and on endlessly in an attempt at intellectual masterbation, cut and pasters, and people who seek advise on what they should do with their lives.

I agree with mutt, I agree with mutt!

I have a theory that there is an inverse relationship between the length of one's ignore list and the length of one's #&%!$.

Dear Wally, throw away anything in your house that is red and grey or says 2003 National Champions on it.

Move somewhere where the rivers don't catch on fire.

And start carrying the wine in the bags...bottled wine is so 1988.

Go hikin' again with me sometime.

There. That's all ya need to know for a happy life. 8)

Would the followers of Nigal be known as Nigelites or Nigalians?

Should we also refer to you as N_g_l?

I don't plan to ignor anyone in paticular. I'd like to be able to ignor entire threads like political and other boring based stuff.
