How To Make A Toxic Poster Disappear

I meant to say that "MOST" people appear to think the report spam button is the same as a report post button as seen on other forums. The report spam button is for reporting something like payday loan advertisements being posted. It is not a report post because I don't like it button.

And it seems that LSAT wasn't aware of this so I was trying to give him the message.

Your original answer was correct then billbolten wrote the above and I was responding to that.

Edit - Sorry Jules - (negative remarks deleted) I woke up on the wrong side of the AHI chart so to say and guess lookin' for a fight.

What newbies need to know is that the report spam button isn't to used to report posts that are negative about another poster or attack another poster, but actually, as you said, report things like pay day loans, or selling viagra or porn sites.

I hope we accomplished that.

Better and easier said... Except the newbies part... Being newly signed up to a board doesn't always mean a person is a newbie

LOL you just can't handle brutal honesty can ya?

Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many you can add to that list?

I tried to add "Guest" to the list but that doesn't work (it should!!)

Thanks Pam - I found it on the internet next to the one Snoredog has. It reminds me of every cat I ever owned. They are so silly. It looks like my cat trying to tell me she has to go potty or looking at flys through the screen door.

Snoredog wrote:yep it works great, I added ozij to mine and now well I no longer have to deal with her PIA targeted BS, now if she would only add me to her foe list we can completely avoid each other which would be fantastic in my eyes.

Thanks to your posting of instructions, she should be able to figure out how to do that on her own, well it is hoped she can anyway.

I don't need to have the sofware control my decision what I will ignore and what I won't.

I have been ignoring Snoredog for a long time -except for when gives mistaken advice, or attacks newbies.

And I will continue to both ignore and comment on Snoredog's post - at my discretion.


As for Snoredog' brutal honesty....
He is no doubt honest about his brutality.

Trouble is, their stench when they come up is as bad as before. Though they do sometimes mangae to edit out the worst of their scatological outbursts.... even though they pride themselves on "never" editing anything.

Maybe this is a better way of handling toxic posters -be they MusicMen, BallBuster's or....

Snoredog did not display "brutal honesty" but rather just plain brutality with that personal attack on Ozij - to borrow her word. I have been troubled since this appeared yesterday and could only think of the word "brutal"! That's what it was, clearly.

It is disgraceful that, a person who has so much knowledge of sleep apnea and cpap equipment and who can be very helpful sinks, periodically, to this low level. It's a shame that he does this on a forum, designed to help when he could better spend his time helping.

I'm sad to say that there are a couple of others who sink to this same level every so often. It appears, to me, to be just plain jealousy and ego tripping on the part of those who are called upon, by name, by new posters to give assistance and advice, because their advice in particular, is desired. Why can't they just do that and not try to negate other members who, it appears, threaten them? It appears that these few think they cannot be wrong and anyone who suggests they are or offers other advice, is targetted for abuse. We saw others "follow suite" when Snoredog said this. He, apparently becomes a role model in these attacks. I have seen others say that this is the "nature of forums like this" or it is all "in jest". That shouldn't be the way it is.

So much is lost when threads deteriorate like this or threads like this are started.

I wonder how many new people who come, sincerely and naively, asking for guidance , see this and never return.

I'm sure there are many who do not post for fear on being maligned in this manner. Some of them retaliate in kind and swell the ranks of that brutal group that, every so often, begins to attack each other and other helpful people on the forum.

It is totally appalling, to me, that such a forum could have members, who can be very helpful, choose to sink to this level.
