Ignore Forums and Threads

[Charles West]

Why would anyone want to ignore anyone or anything? Plenty of time for that when you are dead.

No big deal- BUT- it would be helpful when people post real appraisal questions, many seem ti be made up scenarios or things nobody that is certified should even have to ask.

So many snowflake forumites complaining....
Can dish it out but can't take it....

Post under your real name and we can talk.

I am arguing with fake people and am the only one with skin in the game. Unnamed people can puke out whatever they want. Perhaps that is part of the soluation. Want to post on here, be verified and do it under your real name. It would cool things off real quick!

I don't include you in that post....
But if you've read enough threads....
You'd have to agree that there are several forumites who can't take pushback/blowback....

I have been saying this for years. I am amazed how many posters with fake names get their panties in a wad very quickly. Others have internet muscles saying things they would never say if they were not using real names.

It's the old joke about the hot blond really being a 38 year old slob , eating a pizza in his parents basement.

I get the point you're trying to make but you do realize there is ZERO benefit to posting on this forum under your real name? Especially if you frequent the Watercooler.

Professionals are taken down by social media posts at an ever increasing rate and we're no different. A seemingly benign comment today or 10 years ago can be used against you for any number of reasons tomorrow.

As soon as anonymity of username was allowed, I changed mine and suggest everyone do the same

Yep...

My instinct when pushed online about politics is to puke all over the screen. I get it.

Posting under your name serves as a self regulator.

Wait....I can change my name on here?

I agree with you. Its an unlevel playing field. The steady hands posting under their actual names vs. the screen pukers with nothing to lose.

My solution at this point is to just starting clicking 'ignore' on the hostile people, but I don't even understand how that works. Can they still respond to a post I made?

I think I contacted head surfer the first time I saw another forumite using a moniker and he changed it.

Not sure on the ignore feature but I do think they can respond but you don't see it? Gotta be confusing to follow
