    I think would be nice if there was a moderator capability to restrict certain members from seeing the posts of other members. When feuding between posters get especially nasty and personal, that could come in handy at least as a temporary measure to cool the temperature.

    Absent that, some people on here really need to just use the Ignore feature and resist the urge to circumvent it.

    I use it all the time. Have the bullies, racists, hate group types, and childish trolls on ignore.

    That’s a person who would glue themselves to the basketball court to protest chickens being fried

    If anything the ignore feature should be done away with, running away from problems is not the answer. Remember the Alamo

    Might be, but I would say 10 or 15 make no bones about acting out on it towards posters they disagree with. At least some can debate a point with critical thinking skills instead of resorting to attacking posters with insults because they get off on it, and their little buddies like when they do. It's a circle jerk tag team. The types that would watch someone get attacked and laugh about it, and call their buddies to watch or join in. Those are the only ones I put on ignore.

    what I really enjoy are the announcements some folks (NOT naming any names here) make when they're putting people on ignore.

    Nah, you just have to face facts that some people are emotionally fragile. It's for the best if those types take themselves out of the conversation by using the ignore feature.

    Ignore is a very useful feature. More people should use it. I don't have anyone on ignore at the moment, but I've used it in the past to filter out folks who tend to spam uninteresting and irritating posts.

    If someone finds themselves in a prolonged pissing match with someone else that is going nowhere, and they can't resist the urge to avoid prolonging it, they should definitely use Ignore to spare the rest of us.

    I dont know, I've never used it..... Hopefully I never do, because the moment I do someone I dont even know got to me so much I couldnt handle what a stranger thinks....

    Some people here swing the ignore feature like a weapon, they threaten others with ignoring them... Its quite hilarious @Os Trigonum, cant take things too serious...

    well I just know that when people announce that they're gonna ignore me, it really hurts my feelings. Plus I feel so sorry for them missing all the neat-o Severo gifs

    Not only is it hurtful, but they run away from the beefing posters thread..... By choice....

    Severo has not posted a new video in 4 months 32 days.... I hope there is enough content for the 2023 season....
