"Ignore Function"

I would like to remind members that we have a wonderful tool here called the "ignore function". It's a wonderful, clever gift given to us to make the most of our online experience here at PC. If we ignore a member that's upsetting to us in any way, we will not see their posting or receive PM's from them. When going into chat, the same applies. In a self-help community, it can be a great tool for self-care. If there's an ongoing issue, it usually helps to put out the fire.

Let's remember that if someone triggers us, etc., or we just just flat out don't like them, it's our right and responsibility to do what we need to in order to get what we want and need here.

Every trigger can't be predicted (i.e. a huge trigger of mine was mustard...go figure). We can't assume that other members are going to agree with every post that we make. Some will disagree. We may feel that other members just don't like us, or we know that we just don't like them.

If we have issue with another member, and that member is posting/PM'ing/chatting within the guidelines but we still feel that we're taking it personally (even with cause), the wonderful tool of ignore sometimes is all we need to have a great day!

Thanks,

KD

if you learn how to ignore mustard, would you tell me how to ignore ice cream? xoxox pat ps. i hope i'm not negating your good message about the ignore button....xoxox

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

We'll get started on your ice cream issue straight away! We'll help each other.

kd

oh thank you! i learned about a new Blue Bell flavor, new to me, in Austin. cinnamon.............i thought i would just end up rubbing it all me...........OMG.......thank goodness, it hasn't made it across the Red River.

I need an ignore function for chocolate - you can see that it's still there, but you can't read the [calorie] content.

How about white chocolate?

kimmydawn,

Thanks for the reminder, the trouble is the word-

ignore! ...........is a trigger for me!

... ....Perhaps I'll call it the safety button instead.

There ya go. you do what you need to feel ok!

Pegasus, think of it as your own personal safety button to enjoy PC as much as you can. Sure there are going to be things you might see outside of the button, but isn't it great to know that when you do, all you have to do is click then PM a mod/admin?

kd

Thanks (( kimmydawn ))

SAFETY button......Yay!

Stop talking about ice cream and chocolate! Oprah told the story of the Dove Bar yesterday, and now I want one! LOL! I asked the bf to bring me some ice cream yesterday, but he didn't. I asked him today, and he says he'll think about it. *Rolls eyes* I know I shouldn't eat it, and I'm doing it less, and I am concerned about my weight, but I don't like someone telling me I can't have something. I'm an adult and can make my own decisions, right or wrong. Sorry, mini-rant there.

Just as I decided to try to stop eating so much junk, the grocery store I shop at started selling my favorite ice cream! I'd wanted them to get it in for over a year (but never contacted them to ask), and now that I'm trying to stop, they start selling it! Somebody's messin' with me!

Anyway, somebody send me a box of Dove Bars!

maven.....i have a box of them in my freezer right now......wish i could send you one!...they are awesome! ( i saw the oprah show too!)

IMO the ignore icon should be something with a face and body lol and we'll name him "Iggy" some emoticon... stick figure.. something... at the bottom of the member's profile... or such ?? I love my "Iggy."

I know you do but sometimes I HATE him!!!

i love the old 'iggie' button, I have the iggie button on:

chocolates (aaaaaaaaah its torture)
biscuits/cookies (not so bad)
sexy gorgeous men (hahaha ya right!)
my cat when he meows at the birds outside
rain!!

There's an "Iggy" IRL too? Must be a cousin. lol I would put an iggy on: <ul type="square">[*]pain[*]fatigue[*] depression[*] anemia[*][/list]

sexy gorgeous men (hahaha ya right!)

LMBO! Yeah right is right! I have ALL men in Iggy except Fabio. Like my mom used to say "He's made out of paper" or celunoid... or whatever they make film out of these days. He's the only SAFE sexy man I've seen in a looooong time! Oh, wait! There's Mel Gibson, too! LOL

what about placido??????????

OMG!!!! I totally forgot about HIM!!! Do you think he'll forgive me!?!?

He's for SURE gonna put ME on Ignore!!

That's what I was going to say! Placid Flamingo. lol

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... not THAT one!

along with the ice cream, KD, there is this handsome officer that comes into the shop and only wants me to frame his stuff. he came in the other day wearing khaki shorts and a tropical rayon shirt and i really, really need the ignore button......okay? i need it more for him than i do for the ice cream. when you're broke you can't buy ice cream........but when he comes in........i couldn't care less that i only have 30 cents to my name.........KD, i really need your help tomorrow. he's coming in to pick up the last thing i framed for him.

And every year, we can have The Iggy Awards! LOL!

I love men. Yes, some are jerks, but so are some women. Fabio is great!

don't pick on poor Courtney Love, Maven.........

um, pat? are you sure you want to ignore this officer? he sounds healing, certainly for the eyes...
