Is there a rule against a member with an ignore list creating many general chat threads? Or is that okay? I thought I read that somewhere you can't post threads in the general chat area if you have people on ignore and vice versa

This is true, if you have people on ignore you are not supposed to create general threads. You can report the thread and a moderator will restart the thread.

Hi Birdie, A member on ignore cannot start any posts on any board that are "community" posts (such as check-in threads).

Beth and Willow, you have it backwards. A member who has someone else on ignore is not supposed to start a community thread.

No, willow has it right. I like the phrase "using their ignore."

Lucky you. You must have never received bizarre PMs so you had no need to use ignore feature. That’s the only way to stop some people

I think even if I did recieve PM's like that, I wouldn't use the ignore list.

No one screams at people for putting anyone on ignore. No one even cares. If it was against the rules, we’d not have the feature available

Oh wow lizard lady said ignore feature doesn’t stop people from PMing you. Guess it’s not? They stopped them because I either asked them to or because I stopped replying. Ha I thought ignore feature did it

No, oddly, the ignore feature does not extend to PM's.

If, however, a member you have on ignore PM's you and you are not okay with it, you can report the situation to a mod.

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). You agree that the community support team (administrators and moderators of this forum) have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a member, you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. This information will not be disclosed to any third party without your prior authorized consent.


This is, first and foremost, a self-help support community. That means if your message (post or PM) isn't about offering support to another person or asking for it, it's potentially not appropriate for our community. Specifically prohibited from our community:
Quote:
Messages discussing a private message (PM) from others
All administrative issues
Quote:

Members who have other members on their Ignore list should not start community/group/game/party/holiday threads, because it would limit who could post to such a thread; such members should ask a community support team member to start the thread instead.

Quote:

***Messages discussing a private message (PM) from others
**All administrative issues***

Members should generally not speak for, or about (especially in a negative manner), other current or past members. If a member wants to say something, they are welcomed to do so themselves. If a past member who's left on their own accord wants to say something, they're welcomed to start a new account.
Interpersonal differences with other members should always be handled in private (e.g., via PM) -- not in chat, and not in a thread.

Who are the moderators here and how do I contact one?
Please feel free to contact any of the moderators (listed at the bottom of the forum's index page) if you need assistance or have questions or concerns regarding specific posts. There are two ways to contact a moderator. The first is if you're reading a thread and see a post of questionable content, you can click on the Report Post icon (Community Guidelines) of the post in question and that will automatically alert the moderators to the questionable content. They will then review it and make a decision on whether the post is appropriate or not. The other way to contact a moderator is to privately message (PM) them directly. You can do this by clicking on a moderator's name in a thread. Refusing to cooperate with the request or directive of a moderator or administrator may result in your suspension from the community.

Please no one make fun of me. YES all the guidelines are important blah blah but I copy and pastes this abridged tip sheet into my docs app to refer to. And I know there are some I violate without realizing. One thing I do that I hope puts at ease any admin's mind is own my sh** and apologize. I am human and we are all smart enough to know if we are yanking someone's chain from afar or geniunely missing it

"refusing to cooperate with the direction of a moderator" - does this include if we miss understand what we got told and as a result of this, we get it wrong?

Or is it literally just if the member says anything like "shove that instruction up your arse"?

Sorry if I getting confused and anxious
