Is there any way Fornits could provide a block user feature - so that a user's postings could be blocked from ones screen display?
I have long known better than to click on links without foreknowledge of its content.
I can avoid topics that I know are bound to be of the sort I'd rather not read.
But I do resent ( very much) being ambushed on a topic of interest with grotesque images. I think it would be much valued by many (not just myself) if such a feature were available, so we wouldn't have to subject ourselves to this kind of assault while trying to read a thread of interest.
Or, maybe you could do something like the Xolah board does. Not delete these off topic and disturbing things (if your so dead set against it) but move them to "the basement" which you could label the riff-raff room; or the shit-hole; or the wayward home for fucked up buggers - something like that.

I'm more than a little pissed that Anne was used to ambush me.

To be fair, it was my bad for not checking it. I fell for a very well-timed troll. But.....you know Who took things over the top.
It really didn't matter, his bringing my daughter into it. We're both big girls and have shot down much better men than he.

This is the second time I've seen him butt in and 'go after' you.
...what goes around...

Hmm.. so you'd have all of these posts thrown in there, and the thread left behind and potentially full of holes..so i see it like you'd either have to arbitrarily move the entire thread to the basement or move nothing at all... i dunno..
(In re: to the other thing), in mozilla i can at least block anyways annoying avatars and/or signature content..

I'd like a bit of instruction on how to block annoying avatars - that too, is at times a problem.
As to the basement solution - it doesn't seem to hurt the flow of the threads. You'd have to label the posts you move - but that should be easy enough: porn and sadism; or, genitals; what ever. . .
Sometimes, on the board I speak of, they do move the whole thread, when it is mostly trolling crap. Everybody on that board knows if they cross a line, the post will end up in the basement. Its fair enough I think. Its still there - people can still respond - but its in the basement. It is just a suggestion. I do think something needs to be done. I hate not having any kind of solution to the problem of off topic and grotesque images.
If it were up to me - that shit would vanish, never to be seen again, and the poster of it banished. I thought the basement solution might be more tolerable to Ginger's non-moderated sensibilities. It is a kind of moderating - but maybe not to the point she couldn't live with it.
Besides being un-happy with having been subjected to sights I'd really never want to see - How can I (or anyone) suggest some poor programmed parent take a look at Fornits for the other side of the story; knowing they would run across this extremely offensive stuff? It makes the board useless.
On the other hand, if we could say - look - check out fornits if you want to see some thoughtful debate on these issues - but be warned - stay out of the basement - that might work.

How would you go about banning someone? You can ban their IP, but they can always use a proxy.

I'd say it's worth a try...if for no other reason than to see how far people could 'push the envelope' before having their thread banished to the basement... I imagine it could get pretty exciting after a while...lol.. I like it! I vote try it for a week or two, but only as an experiment...lmao.

Yeah - that thought did occur to me. But seriously folks - don't you agree that some of the images are Way across a line?
As for banning - speaking hypothetically - b/c I know no such thing will ever occur here - Guess I'd stay pretty busy banning IPs for awhile. It must have some effect, b/c other boards manage to control rampant and offensive trolling that way.
But back to my original thought - is it possible to have a block user feature? So, individuals could have some control over what they are subjected to - with out having to abandon the board all together?

Just stop. Really. I'm gonna be sick.

::seg::
Oh, sure blame someone else. My daughter is brought up on a daily bases, why the concern all of a sudden?
-
ooopps: too late ::puke::
great example - can't that post be deleted?
-
I thought we had this settled. I copped to my bad with jumping the gun on the thread. You copped to bringing her in where it was totally unconnected with the conversation.
Remember that earlier? I made a mistake in jumping the gun. You went too far in bringing my daughter into that particular discussion. If you'd like to discuss anything about my daughter that I have posted about, which is the only context that I have discussed yours in, I'd be happy to.
I made a mistake. You took a cheap shot.

I thought we did too !! You reposted it here. Why is it a cheap shot for me to mention your kids but when mine are mentioned nobody speaks up? Seems like a double standard, thats all. I can show you many times where my daughter has been mentioned without cause and no one called foul, its the way it is here, Anne, its the culture we all created by remaining silent. You need to get use to it, suck it up like I do or maybe do something to change it. But dont cry because I said "you misused the camcorder your kids bought you", that’s fairly benign in comparison...grow up.

No double standard, but nice try. Again. You said "my daughter is brought up on a daily basis". I mentioned your daughter the context of this conversation. YOU brought my daughter into one that had no relevance to her at all.
Big difference.
You were wrong. Get over it.
-
You missed the point -- "My daughter is brought up on a daily basis" , I never hear anyone complain or cry foul when it happens to me, by remaining silent we created an acceptance for it. It is something you need to get use to if you want to continue posting here or it needs to change. But I am not going to be held to a different standard than others, if I want to bring up other peoples kids that is my perogative, get over it, Anne or lets change it.
-
Boo fucking who. People bring up mine too! Program dicks are always saying that my girls must be fucked up beyond repair because I'm their mom. They must be stoner loser who have no life. People say shit all the time about my kids, my relationship with them, what kind of people they are.
Damn. You're showing your colors on so many levels here dude. You really should quit while you're waaaayyyyy behind. What you did was intentional and over the line. What I did was a mistake. Whatever I have posted about your daughter has been in the context of the conversation. There was no reason for you to bring mine into that thread. People say shit about my kids all the time. You're no different, other than you can't just say that ya fucked up. At least I can.
Now go peddle your bullshit elsewhere. You're making an ass out of yourself.
-
Boo fucking who.
Not complaining, today is the first time I ever brought it up...but your talking to the wrong guy if you want sympathy for having your kids talked about... I endure it all the time...you need to get use to it here on fornits, thats all I am saying. You cant expect an appology each time.

You don't endure it from me in the context that you spoke about my daughters and I get just as much crap said about me and my kids as you ever have.
I've endured more abuse than you could ever fathom. Quit you're fucking crying you piece of shit waste of oxygen.

You seem a little mixed up, it is not I that is complaining nor crying...never have...and you have no idea what other people go thru, so get over yourself already, I never mentioned your daughter(s) go back and look over the posts.
You started the new post and then came on here complaining about thewho. Take a break and try to start again tomorrow.

For the time being, you might be 'safest' not reading threads Who is involved with. Seems the troll derails the thread with porn when Who derails the discussion with BS and program propoganda.
Don't click links unless it's clear where they go. After a couple of days with no comments, then it might be safe to take a peek if you're still interested.
As always, you must tell parents etal what to expect here. It's an open free for all. For all its 'negative' aspects, there's nothing to compare in terms of accurate info on the industry. The 'Cliff's notes' sometimes comes with a price. Give parents direct links to what they are looking for. Warn them about clicking on links.
Life is not 'safe'. Never was, never will be.

good advice Deborah. thanks
how was your birthday? ::dove::

Good info, well except for the propaganda part ( I havent been derailing any threads). We have been having some very productive discussions if anyone is interested in looking.
What I have been telling parents is this:
1: Dont click on any link from a guest poster, period.
2: If you right click on the link and then click on properties, you will be able to see the origin of the link and be able to determine if you want to click on it or not.
But personally I rarely click any links. I take the property information and run it thru a google search page and view it that way as an extra precaution.

Whoomp, there it is.

I never bother with the Who's bull shit. But if you avoid every thread they post on, there'd be little left to read.
I did learn long ago to never open a link without some prior knowledge of what is was about.
I do warn folks about the realities here. But this business of posting these pornographic and grotesque images is something new. If this is going to occur in random threads, with out warning - I absolutely can not suggest anyone ever use this forum, no matter how much worthwhile information might be found here - and I myself will no longer feel comfortable - as there is no way to know when you will run upon something grossly offensive.
There has got to be a workable solution.

I think you will find that I post mainly in only 3 forums:
TTI, Aspen and HLA
This will soon drop to just TTI and Aspen forums so there should be plenty to read. Sorry if my posts offend you. Another option is to just skip over the posts that I write. This is what I typically do with people who I am not interested in reading or who I find offensive. You will still be able to follow the conversation….give it a try.

One thought is that there could be a “filter featureâ€

Yeah - and it takes some effort to post as a guest these days too - no one can be doing it accidentally.
So - anyway - I guess an individual block user feature is not doable?

I hear ya....At least they got rid of all those letters you had to copy over after pressing the "I am human" button. Jesus christ it takes me over 20 minutes to type all of those in...and then if you miss one dam capital letter etc. you have to do it all over again.....really cut into my guest posting.

I suspect that's called 'don't read those posts'! Shit Eatin Grin
Ah yes, that is the usual method of avoidance. But you can't always tell its a post you'd rather avoid until after you've read it - then its to late.
But my primary concern has been with the posting of images. When really gross or offensive photos or illustrations are posted on a thread, with no warning at all that they are in there, there is no way to avoid seeing the things until it is already done. You can avoid going back to that thread - but there is no telling where this stuff will pop up next.
I really do try not to be to much of a prude (or to obviously a mom) but I have been really grossed out and offended. I'd like to avoid this. I'd rather not have to abandon the forum to do so. I thought it might solve the problem if a person could, as an individual, opt out of viewing the posts of those who publish these images. That way, no one would scream censorship in Ginger's face - and folks like myself would still feel the forum was tolerable.
-
I have to say that ordinarily I am not offended by much. I just skip over the images I don't care to look at too closely. But this is seriously affecting my ability to spend my copious amount of time at work on fornits as I usually like to do. Every now and then my boss does pop up just behind my shoulder, y'know.
Would it be possible to implement something like spoiler tags on images, maybe?

We both have asked that question, and apparently the answer is No. I thought I was being dense about it, actually! Thanks for speaking my mind for me ::peace::
I suspect there's nothing more than extreme caution when opening anything; don't open anything unless you're alone (and definately not when your @ work.)?
The second one works for me since I'm mostly alone
-
///I suspect there's nothing more than extreme caution when opening anything; don't open anything unless you're alone (and definately not when your @ work.)? ///
Oh fur sure don't open anything. I have known that for some time now. I never open a link on any forum unless I know what it is going to be - sometimes waiting to see what others say about it first. But this is of no use when people post the images directly in a post - its like "ooops - there it is" And you can't judge by the thread title either - b/c all can be equally derailed with this stuff.
It just seems like there has got to be some kind of solution that all can live with.

please clue me if you find it. something like that could be very handy.

Damn, guess you weren't perusing the Elan forum about a year or so ago. Wow, that was some serious shit, (literally). I laughed my ass off.
Well, if you use firefox, you can always uncheck the "load images automatically" option.
How about this, instead of hoping someone else on some internet forum can do it for you, figure it out for yourself. Ads can be blocked, images can be blocked, there are browser add-ons that can do pretty much anything to customize your web-viewing experience, INCLUDING things like content-screening.
Word for the day: research.
As for program parents coming in and seeing this... I would think that it would serve as a serious wake-up call that if they send little Jonny to a TBS, there is a high chance that he is going to end up having nothing better to do with the rest of his life than post scat-action porn on survivors' internet forums during his fruitful, functional, adulthood.
Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go post some porn.
-
Just playing the devil's advocate here, but at home where I have full control over what applications I'm running, etc, etc, etc. I am not concerned about someone appearing over my shoulder to cathch me looking at porn. However, at work I am working on a locked-down standard build PC over which I have no control. In the position I used to have here, I had a lot more freedom, but I've traded my admin access for more money.
Anyway, it really doesn't matter to me, and TAC, you are entirely right about those at home.

No- I wasn't.

Well I guess I could. Maybe I'll see if I can figure out how - see if it works with out screwing up every page I am viewing.

As far as I am aware, the content screening programs would block Fornits all together - which I can do myself, should I decide there is no other option.

Yeah - this is the common justification for all the vulgarity, but it doesn't work that way. When they see this kind of thing, they (the program parents) don't think: My gosh, this is what I am paying thousands to have my kid morphed into. They think: Thank you Program masters for saving my child from becoming like these sick freaks.

Have at it. You have your fan base - no doubt. But I wish I could block you, so I didn't have to be subjected to it, to read a forum I otherwise greatly value. It would be sadly done, as I do value much you have to say. But if your one of those posting the gross sadistic porn, I'd be willing to sacrifice your more pertinent and meaningful contributions to be spared your "sense of humor".

Well, the posting porn was a joke. I've never done that, and since I have gotten a username here, (which was in 2005) I have always posted under that name, or signed it so at the bottom of the entry.
But I wish I could block you.
You aren't the first girl who's told me that, sugar. :wink:

I guess people do wonder why I tend to quote with slash marks. . .
Its a habit I picked up on a list serve I once belonged to - and no - it wasn't the Trekker list. Its a quick and simple way to break up the reply with what you are saying, and what someone else said. I find it works well enough.
I did have some trouble figuring out the code of quotes tho. I had the impression you had to end the quote with [/endquote] and that didn't work ;)

Adding to my list of Things that make ya go: Hummmm? ;)

[ quote ] and [ /quote ] - spaces

Okay, here is a lesson in blcoking images. You can right click on the image above, and there will be an option to "block images from _________" which will always block from that server. Obviously, you will end up seeing it once, but you don't even have to wait for it to finish loading in order to use the "block" function.
If you want to unblock it, you can go to the exceptions button next to the "load images automatically" in the tools menu. (In the "main" tab.)

TAC: thankyou.
Your suggestion is greatly appreciated, as was the time you took to post.
And you were right; the word for the day yesterday was research. :wink: :wink:

It's especially useful if you know that the server is notorious for hosting images which have viruses in them.
Yes, image files such as .gifs and .jpegs, can indeed have viruses in them. All it takes is for them to download into your browser cache, which is what happens when you view them online.
BTW, my instructions for the above is if you are using firefox. I don't know what it is for anything else, and nobody should be using any other browser anyway, as far as I'm concerned.
