Ignore List

[Redeemer]

This is more of an announcement, but this is to all members. There has been an excessive amount of fighting within the forum and it is getting out of hand way too often.

In the future if you are to have an argument with another member there is a function called "Ignore list". This essentially will block any post made by members that you add to it.

Now to use the ignore list simply click on the user's profile and then click on "user list". Then simply click add to ignore list. You will no longer being able to see the user's post. You can remove members from the ignore list if you choose to.

Use this function in the future. This will be the best and quickest solution to avoid fighting.

[MikeandRaph87]

In addition don't feel the temptation to render it pointless by viewing the post despite a poster being on the Ignore List.Only you can allow the function to work properly.

[RicksNerdLife]

I will gladly use this, as I'm sure others will on me.

I just want to talk Turtles, man.

That's a good advice and all, OP, but you'd be surprised how many people on the internet have this strange "I don't ignore anyone!" policy no matter how much they hate a certain user or are constantly harassed by them. There's this idea on internet communities that if yo add someone to your ignore list you're "butthurt" and the only reason you ignored such person/people was because they disagreed with your opinion on a certain subject. So I'd not be surprised if some people on these forums would be resisting the temptation of ignoring people due to being afraid of judgement. It's sad, but a lot of people believe that, on the internet, you should just "deal with it!" and "man up!" when it comes to people harassing you :roll:

I don't have any personal problem with any user here, but if I did I'd gladly add them to my ignore list. If someone is rude to me constantly then I'll ignore them. I don't go to forums to deal with such BS. After all, internet forums provide the ignore function, so it's meant to be used for such situations.

There's like 20 posts a day here made by the same 10 people. Why even bother with an ignore list?

Well it's a bit more than 10 people, but since I only post in the General TMNT section and the General Discussion sections regularly I always see the same 10-15 people, indeed. Some people also seem to exclusively stick to sections I don't venture to often or at all. For a rather small forum there's actually a lot going on here and people you never run into after all these years. It's kinda funny.

Can you block other members from sending you harrassing PMs?

Telling you nice try for having me banned is harassing? Okay, buddy. And I sent that before seeing the option to block was available. So, again...nice try. Bye. Blocked and ignored.

[Sobble]

Someone keeps calling me mew (A BANNED USER ON HERE) even though I'm a different person (PROBABLY BECAUSE I ACT LIKE HIM) so I will put him/her on ignore list because i don't want to deal with him/her further (I DONT WANT. TO NAME THE USER OR ELSE HE/SHE WILL GET MAD)

Thanks for this feature

Those people who say your butthurt for ignoring them are more butthurt people who want to continue the fight

How do you even know who Mew is, suspiciously underage user?

[MikeandRaph87]

If a poster is banned then why bother putting the poster on the block list. The poster is disabled from posting anything.:trazz:

He is talking about putting the person who is accusing him on the ignore list.


Anyway guys I know its not a fix all solution, but the ignore list is not really well known or advertised on the forum. I hoping this will get rid of a lot of the in-house fighting between members. We have lost a few long time members bc of the fighting via ban or just simply leaving and we have developed a bit of a reputation. I have even seen a reddit post about the forum its self regarding our reputation and certain members.

[Leo656]

You mean I'm famous? Holy sh*t.

Tell 'em I said if they're gonna talk sh*t then they can at least buy a T-Shirt. I got plenty left.

They can be pussies, but if I had my way they'd at least be mackin' style and I wouldn't have these damn things weighing down the trunk of my car.

Reddit is where PlastronCafe had to run to after she couldn't take the forums not being her personal hug-box and echo-chamber. That alone should tell you enough about what kind of place Reddit is.

I thought you two finally got married or something. Huh.

...And I thought Reddit was the place that warned everybody two years in advance not to give a sh*t about X-Men and Star Wars movies?

The problem with reddit is the downvoting system. You'd think people would use it wisely only to silence idiots/trolls but noooooooooo, they use it to downvote people they simply disagree with or don't like in order to make their messages non-visible. Literally everyone who's been on reddit will tell you stories of either being downvoted for no reason whatsoever or because they simply disagreed with someone and that person got butthurt.

[Sobble]

I use reddit but some people are stupid on there

(I SAW A PERSON ****ING POSTING A UNRELATED MEME ON R/GAMING ONCE)

That's 4chan. Reddit is a corporate shill hub. They love NuWars and anything Disney. Criticizing it is a mortal sin.

[Leo656]

Oh. :ohwell: I genuinely wouldn't know, as I am not good at Internet.

I thought 4chan was where people posted pics of naked children and everyone was racist? I'm so confused.

Oh you shouldn't step any further into 4chan

It's more then naked children and rasicm

I have seen YouTube videos of disturbing 4chan posts that we're unexplained and ****

And even saw a video about a person I think his name was Alex but he/she became missing in 2013

It's also quite a disturbing place

Same with Reddit though that place also has scary ****

She needed her safe space, can you blame her?

[snake]

4chan is just reddit-lite, honestly. It’s just another discussion forum, albeit anonymous, where everyone is contrarian. There’s nothing illegal even posted there, and if there is, it’s taken care of swiftly. Fun place.

Everyone does pretend to be racist, though.

[Leo656]

"Pretend" :lol:

[The Deadman]

Saying 4Chan is free of racism or non-illegal activity is hilarious.

[snake]

Racism no, but the most illegal thing that gets posted without consequence is piracy/torrents.

[CyberCubed]

4chan doesn't allow underage porn and anything that is, is deleted immediately. Of course this is not including anime/videogame characters of dubious minors, which there is a ton. But given 90% of anime characters are usually teens and so forth, as long as they look like adults, it's excused.

If places like rule 34 or 4chan really enforced a "no under 18 years old" rule for fictional characters, 80% of posts would be deleted besides the few 20+ year old characters.

[snake]

Thank you, Cybercubed, for popping up to explain hentai logistics. You see, this is the quality content we’ve been missing out on without you as a regular contributing member. I love you, man.

All this 4chan talk makes me want to create an account on 4chan and pretend to be a 4chan troll

The words "anime characters" and "look like adults" can be used in the same sentence? :-? Mind blown.



I'm kind of glad I grew up before the whole trolling for entertainment bit became a thing. A lot of people are going to look back and feel pretty foolish someday. Well, provided they do develop normal adult emotional maturity, since some people clearly miss that milestone.

[Leo656]

That's assuming quite a lot there, Miss.

[Sobble]

I won't regret trolling the 4chan trolls

[CyberCubed]

.

The vast majority of anime and videogame characters focuses on teen protagonists. Of course there's also often your old 20-30+ year old characters, but most anime is aimed at teenagers, so the main cast is teenagers. And people draw fanart of them, often adult art, it's a no brainer.

It's the same thing with Disney cartoons. Ariel from The Little Mermaid is 16. So is Jasmine from Alladdin. Do you know how much porn people draw of Disney princesses when the majority are underage?

The difference is most fictional art is allowed because people are going to draw adult art of any popular character from any cartoon/anime out there. And since they're not "real people" it isn't viewed as the same thing as actual underage porn which get people jailed and fined.

Half the Japanese entertainment industry would be in jail otherwise.

[Voltron]

That may be changing.

A while back, there was a debate in the Japanese government on what exactly constituted inappropriate portrayal of minors. It was a bit of a controversy.
The Japanese aren't as prudish as the West (America especially) when it comes to that kind of stuff, so long as it exists on the periphery and doesn't demand attention.

With the Olympics coming to Tokyo in 2020, there's going to be a ban on pornography in convenience stores. A surprisingly large and easily accessible portion of the magazine racks in Japanese convenience stores are devoted to porn of all varieties, and it's typically at the eye level of a 9 year old, which is super creepy.

Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

I’m actually going to be so pissed if they shut down my favorite hentai site just so a bunch of people can watch glorified gymnastics for a few days.

you take that back

Sorry bro, “We Assaulted Some Elves Because We’re Orcs But It Turns Out They Were All Succubi” is too much of a national treasure to lose it.

The websites won't be affected. Just the magazines. You'll be fine.

[CyberCubed]

I think the general problem is how regular anime (not hentai), promotes sexualization of minors regularly so the Japanese see nothing wrong with it. You can watch anime with 12-13 year old girls nude in Japan and it's perfectly fine, it's not even censored and sold in stores and online. It's even more bizarre when western dub companies bring this over to America and apparently it's allowed here too.

FUNimation has licensed and dubbed a lot of anime with nude scenes of underage girls and it's obviously sold legally here in America too. Apparently since it's drawings and not "real people" it's fine, even if the underage characters look like kids.

[RicksNerdLife]

...what is happening?

[Jester]

Yeah....I think this has run its course...
