TBT Pet Peeve

[-Apples-]

Wait a sec. Are you saying there is a ignore setting that I could use to ignore a person on this forum? Let's say you just as an example ..how does that work ? Do I no longer see all your threads and posts? But how would you ( as the example) know who was ignoring you? Are you notified?

It hides messages and blogs written by the person you're blocking. You can still see the threads, but not the OPs. And you can't tell if someone blocked you or not, but if you want to know how that girl blocked me, she said "welcome to my ignore list". You shouldn't tell people that you blocked them or anything like that since it would annoy people. But no notification will be sent if you have been blocked.

Some people, like mods and admins, cannot be blocked no matter what.

minimodding is my tbt pet peeve like get over urself

The whole point of the ignore feature is to hear things you're not interested in seeing/are tired of seeing.

I have dragon age inquisition black-listed on tumblr because 90% of the people I follow are talking about it and I have no interest. I also block other things because they're upsetting to read or they gross me out, or I'm tired of hearing about it. I also have some FRIENDS I unfollowed/blocked on tumblr, because while I love them as a friend, some of the **** they post is just... more than I really want to deal with.

You can say whatever you want on tumblr, but I don't have to listen to everything or anything, and the same goes here. Chill.

I disagree here when it comes to TBT. One time, I blocked 7 people one weekend for supporting Michael Brown during the Ferguson event, but I later felt that it was wrong to block people for havint different opinions, so I removed them from my ignore list, but I am still bothered by some of the posts they said.

But yeah, I try not to harass people, offend people, insult people, or annoy people. But sometimes, I get blocked even when I don't do any of that stuff, or if I rarely do it.

I'm going to reply this once, but here's the deal: you can have whatever opinions you want, but know that those opinions may be offensive to someone, regardless of what you intend. Those opinions and your willingness to freely discuss them may be upsetting. And they can block you, or anyone else, because of that. IT keeps someone from being on you for your opinions. It also keeps them from dealing with your unpleasant opinions when the point of their participation is fun, not reading what side you're taking on an issue that is personal and important to them. Sometimes a person's opinions have very deep, harmful meanings to other people, whether or not that person realizes it. Some opinions are uplifting. Some are discriminatory. Some are dehumanizing. Some are loving. All opinions are not equal.

So once again. Calm down. It is not the end of the world. You are trying to come off as some sort of martyr and instead end up sounding like someone who has SERIOUS entitlement issues to other people's time and attention. Not everyone is going to like you, or agree with you, and that is okay, because everyone has to deal with people not liking/agreeing with them. It's part of growing up. Deal.

You are such an intolerant, awkward person. I don't even.

Wow, so good to know we've got a racist in our midst

That's not true. There were other complicated reasons, like when they throw in race as an issue when it's not about race, bug me for sources, but only from their bias and not from fact, and all sorts of things. I don't even care about race. In fact, I don't even care if they support Michael Brown. It's how they're expressing their opinion and how they're handling people who disagree that I care about. I am done with this subject, but I had to bring it up to talk about an example of when I didn't use the ignore list right.

@valval: thanks for clearing it up. Yeah, some people are always going to take offense no matter what. Some are even bothered by those who hate one of their favorite villagers. Now that bugs me too.

Except the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE investigated the Ferguson police department and determined race is absolutely a factor in their dealings with African Americans, but you just keep on chillin' in your white privilege where ~*it's not about race*~, bye.

*sigh* I feel another flame starting up again.

Anyway, one of my TBT pet peeves is when people don't leave you wifi feedback after a trade. To me it's kind of rude since I took time out of my day to do a trade, the least the other person could do is leave one back.

I'm also not very keen when people message me about collectibles (unless it's friends).

Another thing that bugs me, when I accidentally start an argument or say something that causes some people to argue. I get involved because I hate getting negative reputation.

Even I wouldn't ask for your collectibles. You worked hard for them, so they're yours.

please no flame wars guys.
heres a pet peeve to talk about:
when people have giant signatures that arent under spoilers, i.e like 5 gifs stacked on top of eachother. how have you not gotten in trouble with mods :?

 

[-Apples-]

What else bugs me, when people use tags just to hurt other members on this site.

You should probably report it if it offends you, like take a screenshot or something. yea I know what you're talking about

Heh, I feel the same as you.

you could tell a mod..
i think OP can edit tags too.

Yeah, I try not to get in a flame war, but some people just want to do it because they take offense of what I say.

Last pet peeve of the day to say: when no mod is available when some people are breaking the rules. It makes me feel that the forum is rule-less.

well, mods to have alot of things to do IRL too. it's pretty late in most areas so they're all probably with family or resting. they'll get to it though, theyre good about that. dont worry.

This is when those "mini mods" that have no business being a part of it try to handle the whole situation. This usually makes things way worse.

A pet peeve of mine is when someone jumps on the slightest rule break... with some of them not even really being against the rules. They just want attention.
"You bumped your shop thread twice in the past hour. I'm reporting you for spam!"
"You said a swear word! I don't care if you used '***' it still counts! Reporting!"
Don't these people have anything better to do? Grow up.

I'm guilty of this. The wifi feedback thing, not the collectible thing - I don't understand the hype with those things, haha

For me it's not an intentional rude thing, I'm kind of... nervous about it I guess? There's a thread someone made somewhere around here that's like "when do I leave wifi feedback" and to be honest I never know either, really. I don't really mind if somebody leaves me feedback or not, so I end up wondering "do they WANT it?" especially if the user already has hundreds of positive feedback messages - I dunno, this is probably the weirdest thing to be nervous about, lol. I tend to wait and see if the other person leaves feedback, and then return the favor. I didn't realize it bothered some people not to receive any, so thank you for posting this ♥ I'll try to be the first one leaving feedback more often, now that I know.

 

[lunathenia]

Not my problem but when new members use all their TBT at once...
And when people make a new account just to get more TBT

You should report them

I hate how there's no notification when someone quotes your posts
1 HUGE flaw imho.

When tbt is referred to as btb.

It's the same thing and btb makes more sense...

God has given you several rights, even if you're Canadian, but there are some like violating the ten commandments he doesn't want you using. Rights he didn't give you are spinning your head 720?, right to survive extreme hot temperatures, or anything impossible for a human to do.



I agree. TBT is the right way of saying it.

Wrong. TBT is one of the right ways of saying it. There are many ways to skin a cat

I care more about what a rat is trying to tell me than so called "gods".
Anyways God(s) don't give ppl rights, law does.

It makes me happy receiving nice or creative messages from the wifi rating lol >.<

I hate how it's so obvious that someone's using powersaves or duping and they don't get banned/warned/w.e even though they're selling for btb...
