Like Strike part II

I completely missed that, and I just went on a Like binge in that thread!

Muted.

In digging up a thread dormant since 2013 I found a cool video, and got a post from a user who hadn’t posted since 2013, as well.

I noticed that. Good catch.

It works well. As written, it dims messages from people you have blocked, but it can be tweaked to hide them completely

Might have to look into that. I’d love to be able to switch off PMs for anything less than TL4. As is it, my mute list is starting to get unwieldy.

[RatMan]

I know the feeling. I used to try to keep up with my topic mutes, but I don’t bother anymore. Sooner or later I’ll probably hit a limit and have to do something about it.

I don’t think there’s a way to block PMs specifically.

I believe that there are more efficient and dare I say professional ways of resolving issues… like addressing the pertinent individuals directly, in private.

The only reason I’m not echoing this in header styling is because I don’t want to dilute its message by yelling. Even though I really want to yell this.

that is exactly the post i mean and having just read back through that thread i’m pissed off all over again. i think at this point he should be more objective about the unanticipated consequences of the discourse system in the wild and realize that different communities have different needs and different priorities and while some of them may coincide with his intentions others may not and that needs to be allowed for.

I don’t disagree there; just because you create something doesn’t mean that you can control what happens regarding that creation, after the fact.

(Just ask good ol’ Dr. Frankenstein.)

But at the end of the day, people are people; we’re all fallible, and we all have a lot of room for improvement.

Being more open minded is usually a good place to start.

Likes are met with rage.

No, you were mindlessly liking every single post in an old topic. That’s not cool. It’d be one thing if you were reading old topics and said “hey that is a particularly great post, let me like that one” rather than mindlessly scrolling down and liking every single post.

I posted about it, because I am asking you nicely to stop. What’s met with rage, is abuse of a limit that we specifically raised based on feedback here, despite the risks of this kind of abuse.

I’m not sure if you are testing to see what the ‘real’ limit is, or what (that’s my theory), but again: I’m asking you to stop. Nicely.

[Falcor]

I’m going to fly in and just say “Stop it.”

You are all grown-up bipeds, behave like it. Or I will feast.
