Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Blocking users so you don have to read their posts

Having tried precisely that approach once, I wouldn't recommend it. All you get it some sob story about how deeply misunderstood they are and how they deserve to be included in cliques when frankly, they do not.

What about trolls tho? Sending them an email saying you're ignoring them would give them as much satisfaction as engaging with them on a thread.

That's not how ignoring works - semantically or technically. Telling someone you're not speaking to them is speaking to them n'est-ce pas. Ignore functions / block users are a marvellous way of keeping blood pressure down. Can make life a bit surreal at times, but it's a small price to pay.

James, someone once sent me an fmail saying " I don't like you, don't try to communicate with me" in amongst some other abuse.

I replied "you contacted me, you thick c*unt"

True story.

true story - my OH was shouting at someone who had pissed him off and what he shouted was "You're nothing but a cunt, C N U T cunt!" lost its effect when everyone including himslef creased up at his bad spelling

*apologies for full on sweary words but it was a story where *** wouldn't do*
