Close to the 10 Anniversary of the “ignore button” how did it dramatically change the board

I’m close to adding one more. There’s this H.A.N. who forgot BGOL is a “cyber-barbershop” and not Oxygen or Lifetime television. Ya’ll humor this hoe constantly and he/she keeps posting sh*t that belongs in SOL or any place but here.
“Why men should sing to their pets” or “complimenting women outside is rape” type of shit all the time. If this were a REAL barber shop and he/she tried to interrupt real spill with that moist shit - he would get aired out.
 
I never thought of using ignore temporarily to get to the main posts. Thanks for the idea. That will be especially helpful in the mornings when folk tend to update every thread they've ever made for the past 10 years.

I do it sometimes, just to kinda pump the brakes and I take them off after about 30 minutes.

I've also made it a point to not bump every old thread I've made just because an instagram model has changed her nail polish, if I bump an old thread it's to add legit content to it and to respect the fact that BGOL is many people's unoffical home page.
 
I only had to put one idiot on here on ignore
Started to book a flight to Texas to kick his ass (real talk)
Challenged him to a one on one in the back of the hotel I was gonna stay at
and he bitched out
 
I have no one on ignore. To me it shows how weak a person is.
I used to think like this because it's only a messageboard but the older I get the more I realize that some of us are just not worth the time it would take to go back and forth with and the majority of the times it's about shit neither one of us has a stake in it to give two fucks about it or it's outcome to began with.

I just learned to let em be upset by themselves and if that doesn't solve their issue or problem than what I said really isn't the issue...

I don't have a problem with the thread updates, the threads seem to get a lot of views, and I have no opinion one way or the other on the quality of the content as its not usually targeted to me. Most are updates of themed threads tho and I'm normally not looking at threads with women in it unless one of the titles catch my eye and I want to see who the menfolk are lusting over or dissing this week. So when the first three pages are 90% from one poster of similar topics that I'm not interested, in its just easier, but I actually rarely use ignore for this.
 
Jackwalsh , I can’t be at work looking at bgol with him posting

He's the only poster I have on ignore-- His content is fine, I just have sigs off for a reason. Nothing against him beyond that.

But its weird to see replies to ignored content with no context. Jack posts a distracting picture and I just see people randomly posting "Who is she?" or "Lawd have mercy!" in a thread titled "Nipsey Hussle RIP."
 
I have only one

I'm not sure why

but the fact that i don't miss them?

Means it must have been a darn good reason
 
I’m still happy to say that I don’t have a single person on ignore. Dumbasses usually back down when you speak to the logically.

Some still will be trolls. One just has to know when to disengage, because sometimes it just ain’t worth it. :smh:

Fam as a vet?

You gotta sometimes completely cut some of these dudes off

At the first sign

Cause a stalker troll?

Thats not only toxic personally but to the whole board.

You’re exactly right and I don’t fault anyone for having people on ignore.

I just don’t let people bother me that much. If I don’t respect their opinion or point of view, I just don’t respond to them.

But sometimes it’s fun to engage them :lol:

I've seen you...

You mad quick with the wit

But it can be exhausting and then i feel engaging in negative energy just encourages it.

Just my opinion

You’re right it can be exhausting, but I don’t take whatever I’m engaging about mentally.

I’m usually dumbfounded at what a person is saying and it’s funny to me that they’re serious.

Like I said, once I don’t respect what they’re saying our conversation’s over.

But I’m not mad at anyone for having people on ignore!

I absolutely agree family.
Just for the sake of this point, I’ll refer back to calling BGOL a “cyber-barbershop” where we all shop up to get a cut and while we wait, we talk a lot of shit about a lot of different subjects. Imagine this relatively new ninja comes through and we don’t really pay that cat no mind because we are chill for the most part. A woman with a gang’O ass walks past the shop and we all collectively do the smokey n’ craig “Daaaaaammmn!”
Then the new ninja turns and then remarks:
“See? This is the perfect example of toxic masculinity.”
In OUR barbershop, son??
So we check him on that, and he keeps on with that tenderoni fuck-shit. Now no one is down to catch a charge so we keep telling him to shut the fuck up, but after listening him to repeatedly playing himself and trying to ignore it, you are compelled to air him out.
More often than not, it’s not even me he was speaking to - but I feel that a lot of the posters are cyber mans-and-them (DMX reference...) so it’s almost my duty to digi-slap the fuck outta them. Since I can’t, iggy for them.

You’re Exactly Right, You nailed it!

I’ll see a weird comment and most of the time I just let it slide. But every now and then I know I’m wrong, but I’ll still reply.

And just like you said, once I realize that dude is just talking to talk. Our convos over.

Copy...
Lmao I just know if there ever was a real BGOL wolves convention at the Jacob Javits Center, certain Duncan Hines cakeboys would be to scared to show, if so they would grab someone else’s name tag and do dumb shit and leave.

Truuuuue! :lol:
 
How'd that work out for u?

It served its purpose but like I said I really don't use it that much, usually when I'm trying to find a recent thread I didn't reply to, didn't watch, and can't locate via search. I really only had you on ignore long enough to test it. You know it's hard to keep my eyes off you. ;););)
 
I have 4 folks on ignore. I figure as a mod it's an obligation to help folks, even if I don't like them, so I try not to use that feature, but those 4 make my blood boil so I had to do it.
