Who are the most ignored users at FOFC?

[Ben E Lou]

I've been asked this question quite a few times, so here's the answer:

<table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="179" width="168"> <col style="width: 48pt;" span="2" width="64"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td style="height: 12.75pt; width: 48pt;" x:str="timesignored Descending " align="center" height="17" width="64">rnk

[JonInMiddleGA]

Among the sadder things about that is that I don't even know who one of them is.

[ISiddiqui]

Yeah, who is mrbuttercupjr?

[Alan T]

Among the sadder things about that is that I don't even know who one of them is.


I was trying to figure out who mrbuttercupjr was. He was the one I don't recognize.

[flere-imsaho]

Does it say by how many people someone's being ignored? That would be kind of interesting.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Looks like we all had the same problem there, so I checked my own ignore list.

Among the 63 names on it is a "mrbuttercup" so I'm assuming that "jr" was an alias that came along after a boxing or banning or something.

[wade moore]

IWS wasn't TOO far off on this one...

[Kodos]

I don't have an ignore list. But I sure hope I'm on one!

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Initial read, I thought it said "ignorant."

Now what's the over/under on a parody thread that strikes gold? :D

[MikeVic]

haha that's great.

[DaddyTorgo]

i think this speaks to probably how few people have anybody ignored

[Kodos]

So does anyone know the story behind Hell Atlantic leaving? I love it, but I am curious about his disappearance.

[JonInMiddleGA]

i think this speaks to probably how few people have anybody ignored

I'd bet the number is considerably higher than you'd think, with a significant number of people using it the way I do for some people, a chance to be more selective about when you do or don't have to deal with someone's post. There's a number of people on my list that I do respond to, but having them there makes it easier to pick & choose when I do so.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

i think this speaks to probably how few people have anybody ignored

Yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. There's still a lot of people that respond to my posts despite my #1 ranking.

(holds championship trophy over his head)

[Kodos]

I won't be ignored!

[wade moore]

i think this speaks to probably how few people have anybody ignored

This isn't an all-inclusive list. Jon says he has 63 people on ignore alone. This is just a top 5.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Ben,

Just curious. Is the ignore feature name specific or profile specific? In other words, if I changed my name to Syracuse Lacrosse Fan, would everyone have to 'ignore' that name as well or does it use a profile ignore, regardless of what ID I use on my sign-in.

I'm not changing it either way. Just wondering how it works.

[Kodos]

This isn't an all-inclusive list. Jon says he has 63 people on ignore alone. This is just a top 5.

Dammit!

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

I would assume it links on to your member number.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

This isn't an all-inclusive list. Jon says he has 63 people on ignore alone. This is just a top 5.

So can we get the 'Other Votes' listing for those who didn't make the rankings? :)

[ISiddiqui]

I wonder if for Jon most threads have like 10 total posts. :D

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Dammit!

If I had a dollar for every time a member of this board tried (and failed) to ignore a moderator............

am i on your list?? :(

[Mustang]

If he doesn't respond to you... you are.

[Alan T]

For comedic purposes, he should not respond to this. That would leave everyone wondering if he saw the question at all or not! :)

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

am i on your list?? :(

You did not make his top 63 judging from the fact that he responded to you. :(

Or maybe, just maybe, he now has a list of 64! :D

[Kodos]

am i on your list?? :(

No, but your kiss is.

[JonInMiddleGA]

am i on your list?? :(

You honestly aren't.

And that's the only question I'm gonna answer on anybody's status, nothing good would come of it at all (you get a freebie 'cause you asked first ;) )

[JonInMiddleGA]

For comedic purposes, he should not respond to this. That would leave everyone wondering if he saw the question at all or not! :)

LOL, if only I had thought that fast. I pondered not answering but not for that reason.

[wade moore]

Dammit!

muahahahahaha.

[Subby]

I am a little surprised that JiMGa is on anyone's list. Unless you just can't stand hearing opinions that are different from yours, his posts are always well written and reasonably argued.

[JonInMiddleGA]

No, but your kiss is.

Damn you. Damn you all to hell.

You just planted that f'n song in my head.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

IGNORED.

[Mustang]

No, but your kiss is.

lol - i kinda figured i wasn't from the long back-and-forths that we've had (mostly surprisingly civil i'd say). particularly the one recently where it was you+me divying up the US for seccession. was more being funny.

[Kodos]

Damn you. Damn you all to hell.

You just planted that f'n song in my head.

And now I know that I also am not on your list. BWAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Jas_lov]

I'm a little surprised I'm not on the list. I guess I don't post that much and I tend to avoid the political threads, but it's still disappointing. Is having different political beliefs and being really vocal about it the main reason people put other posters on ignore?

[DaddyTorgo]

I am a little surprised that JiMGa is on anyone's list. Unless you just can't stand hearing opinions that are different from yours, his posts are always well written and reasonably argued.

I agree with this. unless you're one of the people he has gone off on and you toss him on there temporarily to cool down

[digamma]

Chubby,

I think you answered your own question.

[lighthousekeeper]

Looks like we all had the same problem there, so I checked my own ignore list.

Among the 63 names on it...

I already knew he was a sad individual, but this is truly pathetic. Out of the entire interwebs, we choose the virtual communities we want to lurk in or be a part of. And even in the community he selected, he still feels the need to spend the effort to ignore/reject 63 memebrs.

I get the feeling that in 20 years JiMGa's signature while in heaven will read "Behind enemy lines in heaven" and he will have god on his ignore list. :(

[RendeR]

Wow, I think I feel Honored to have made the list. Go me.

[Big Fo]

Does it say by how many people someone's being ignored? That would be kind of interesting.

My second thought after seeing the list.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Chubby,

I think you answered your own question.

:lol:

I've been outed. And don't call me chubby.

[Mustang]

I don't have anyone on my ignore list, just topics I ignore in my house rules ignore list.

[MIJB#19]

And now I know that I also was not on your list. BWAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!Fixed!

[Noop]

Meh.

I figured I would be on that list but I am glad I am not that hated.

[Schmidty]

No, but your kiss is.

Nice!!! :D

[MJ4H]

Pretty sure there is a firefox plugin that lets you do all sorts of good ignoring including blocking them when they are quoted and blocking mods. Works for any vbulletin board. I've used it on other boards but not here.

[Schmidty]

I just clicked on my ignore/buddy list thing in the user cp. Of course my ignore list is empty, but what the heck is the Buddy List and what purpose does it serve? And why is the only one on mine INDalltheway when I don't even remember adding him. Don't get me wrong, he's my buddy, but I'm still confused.

[muns]

I am a little surprised that JiMGa is on anyone's list. Unless you just can't stand hearing opinions that are different from yours, his posts are always well written and reasonably argued.

Well, the way I had it told to me is that there was this one night. You were drunk and... ;)

I only have astrosfan64 on my ignore list. I forget why I put him on there though.

So who's least ignored?

I broke my anti-ignore rule and put him there. Fuck him.

I remember him. That was an interesting time. I think he was posting racist stuff and put up a swastika at one point.

I've also heard that he might still be around with a different name.

I heard if you say his name three times in front of a mirror, he shows up and takes your soul to Hell.

[MJ4H]

i heard he was all-county in 1995

[Passacaglia]

I hear he makes a great german potato salad.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Speaking of german food, anyone around here like 'raw hack' or 'cooked cheese'. Mmmmm-mmmmm good.

Jon was briefly on my ignore list back in the day when it seemed like every post got my lilly-livered liberal-egghead communist blood boiling and I did it just so I wouldn't go Barney Frank on his ass and get myself boxed. But I echo what you said completely -- I may not always agree with Jon but his views strike me as sincere and well-thought out and I respect that. I eventually dropped the ignore because I found myself clicking on this posts all the time because I wanted to see what he had to say. We even agree much more these days than we used to. We both must be getting soft in our old age.

The antithesis of a guy like Jon are the people on my ignore list -- people who I don't believe are sincere and nothing they ever had to say was well thought out. Two are on the top 5 list and SportsDigs had the other two weeks ago. The_meanstrosity is there because he's a fuckin' Jayhawk asshat.

[Fidatelo]

I think it's sad that a couple of the guys on that list (read: MBBF and Render) are somehow trying to convince themselves that they should be proud. Congrats guys, lots of your peers think you're so douchey and grating that they went out of their way to make sure they never heard from you again. Certainly something to feel good about.

[Poli]

Woot, I didn't make the top 5!

Your sarcasm meter is broken. You might want to get that looked at.

I was just joking. How could I possibly block Big Poppa Pumpy? He gave new meaning to the word "patience" in our NCAA leagues.

Pumpy Tudors, I love you. What are your thoughts on interracial same-sex marriages?

I'm already in five interracial same-sex marriages, but I guess those two Japanese guys, the two Latinos, and the polar bear won't mind someone else joining the fun. All right, you can come over, but I probably won't do you until right before the deadline.

[Sun Tzu]

QOTM material.

[JediKooter]

I don't ignore anyone. Not for some high moral ground or anything like that, it's just a message board and if I can't handle what people say on a message board then it would be best if I wasn't on a message board.

I'm never angry with the beakers. Just a general sense of pity for them. I'd even note that sterlingice is showing signs of intelligence now that he's far away from the state of Kansas, though I give his MU-educated wife much of the credit for that change. :p

There needs to be a 'Gang of 63' thread where only the people Jim ignores can post in it.

Feels somewhat ironic at the moment that I saw your post without having to click on it.

I was thinking quite the opposite about the number to tell you the truth, that is was remarkably low when you consider a few facts.

1) As I'm typing this, the members lists indicates 460 people have visited FOFC in the past 24 hours, around 520 in the past 72 hours. If even 20% of them have posted, that in the neighborhood of 100 posters depending on the time frame.

2) Even if every single one of those were on my list, that's a 63% ignore rate (and they haven't, plus at least a dozen or so of the names on my list are people who are long gone from FOFC as far as I can tell)

3) As I've mentioned a number of times through the years, I'm a devout believer in "The Rule of the 80", which essentially states that roughly 80% of the people I will encounter in my lifetime are ultimately too fucking stupid to have been worth the time or trouble. A few years ago I modified the rule for accuracy and now refer to it as "The Rule of the 90" or "85-90".

That really make FOFC quite a bit above the curve versus the general population, and by the math maybe even more than I would have guessed (an expert on standard deviations would have to figure out what the number would project to)

I get the idea. If you had any actual Bud Light though I'd refuse to drink it and demand some actual quality beer.

As is, it was a very very good week at work - I'm going to go home and have some Smuttynose Summer Weizen.

Oh, I don't know if I am. Jon and I agree on probably 95% of life's issues, but we'll go to blows, it seems, over the 5% we don't. ;)

I actually have no one on my ignore list. I think I ignored ISiddiqui once for maybe three days because of some stupid hockey argument, but I got annoyed with the "read post" thingie and removed him from ignore (he posted too damn much :D ).

Besides, if I ignore you, I can't keep track of the morally corrupt things you do.

[Chief Rum]

Brilliant!!

JiMGA: HA x2! ;)

How ironic. :D

[ISiddiqui]

I'm actually pretty sure which hockey argument it was (it involved Scott Stevens, IIRC).

he posted too damn much

LOL! ::evil:: ;)

[JonInMiddleGA]

Ya'll post this stuff as though I'm not smart enough to think about responding to people who are on ignore & slow playing replies to people who aren't. Or even vice versa in a bit of reverse psychology.

You interweb peeplz iz funny.

I'm a little surprised I'm not on the list. I guess I don't post that much and I tend to avoid the political threads, but it's still disappointing. Is having different political beliefs and being really vocal about it the main reason people put other posters on ignore?

I don't think you're a bad guy or anything at all but if your attitude in the NFL threads during the season carries over into real life i'm honestly surprised you haven't been beaten to death by a Vikings fan yet. ;) I always start out the NFL season reading everything but most likely by Week 3 you'll be on ignore again. We can chat again in February though!


MBBF is the only top 5'er I have on ignore. I do read most of his posts on most days, but I need a buffer first to prepare so I don't just quick reply with a string of f-bombs when I run across whatever he's saying to try to put down the entire community at the time.

[Lorena]

I've had a few people on my ignore list, but no ones on it right now.

[Big Fo]

I don't know who mrskippy, mrbutterworthjr, or MrBigglesworth are. I'm guessing they don't come by too often these days. Are their places in the top five deserved?

edit: I couldn't even find two of them in the members list. Alt-accounts?

[Schmidty]

I don't know who mrskippy...........are.

This makes me sad for some reason. He was a douche, but he had some awesome nurse shoes.

You were on mine during part of the NFL season a couple of years ago. It made the game day threads bearable. Now that I work most Sundays I really don't have an issue with you anymore...

I only have one person on my list, a person who attempts to to be a second-rate Pumpy and comes off as an tenth-rate Pumpy.

I don't know who mrskippy, mrbutterworthjr, or MrBigglesworth are. I'm guessing they don't come by too often these days. Are their places in the top five deserved?

edit: I couldn't even find two of them in the members list. Alt-accounts?

I think they (at least mrs kippy) were banned before you got here.

If you substitute mrbutterworthjr with Bubba Wheel, those are the three most deservedly ignored in FOFC.

[Easy Mac]

I didn't even know this thread existed until buccaneer posted

[Noop]

So why are mrskippy and MrBigglesworth hated by everyone here? Does anyone have a thread or can give a quick list of reasons?

[Izulde]

I'm sure I've been on an ignore list or two in my day. :D

I'm trying to recall in what way mrs. kippy was so annoying, but he definitely was.

MrBigglesworth got under people's skin because he was a strong liberal voice in political threads, and it seemed that he posted almost exclusively in political threads. Imagine if Dutch only ever posted in political threads, and you'd have a conservative version of MrBigglesworth.

[SirFozzie]

*chuckles* I'm actually surprised I'm not top 5, but that's maybe cuz I learned that I'm not going to change some folks mind,they'renot going to change mine, and trying to will just cause ill will :)

[RendeR]

I think it's sad that a couple of the guys on that list (read: MBBF and Render) are somehow trying to convince themselves that they should be proud. Congrats guys, lots of your peers think you're so douchey and grating that they went out of their way to make sure they never heard from you again. Certainly something to feel good about.


IGNORE me if you think I'm that awful you self riteous shitbag =)

[Radii]

MrBigglesworth was basically a left wing bubba wheels imo.

[Crapshoot]

Nah, Bigglesworth was significantly more intelligent than Bubba. Not much of a threshold, but true.

[Radii]

At least I know who else I'll be accused of being now.

There was a time here when political threads were considered side conversations, or even further OT than the rest of the stuff here, and anyone who only posted to stir up shit politically would not last long at all. I do see that 5 of our 120 posts are in non-political threads.... but yeah, I think you are lucky to have un-lurked when you did and not a couple years ago ;)

[Noop]

So why is Bubba still around?

[Radii]

So why is Bubba still around?

immunity for starting the greatest thread in our forum's history perhaps(Maximum Football) :D

[RendeR]

Wait...Bubba Wheels is still around?

[TargetPractice6]

This thread inspired me to place a member of this board on my ignore list for the first time.

(http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/member.php?u=4947)!abi (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/member.php?u=4947)

Damn guy just gets under my skin.
I thought my ignore list was empty but when I added this guy I found Loren there. But I'm pretty sure that was only because she insisted on using red text for her every post.

Edit: Ouch, and I just remembered that Loren is Cringer's wife. (I think?)

[Bad-example]

I'm trying to recall in what way mrs. kippy was so annoying, but he definitely was.

Mrs kippy was at his best (read: most asshat-ish) in threads about religion. His most annoying trait was his inevitable attempt to change the point when someone would call him on something. Abortion and the pledge of allegiance also were subjects of threads he befouled.

[dawgfan]

That's right - thanks for jogging my memory.

I also seem to recall that he came across as somewhat pathetic as well.

[stevew]

I only have Oliegirl on my wignore list.

[Chief Rum]

skippy was also a notorious Bay area homer, particularly the A's, and he and I butted heads (A's-Angels) all the time.

I seem to recall he went on my ignore lists and after he went on a jihad about how overpaid school teachers were and how every school teacher he knew drove an $80,000 car.

I'm actually quite stunned that franklinnoble and his wife aren't on the list. Maybe it's because capsicum was a shooting star that flamed out so quickly and franklin has been gone so long.

Just curious, are kippy, franklin and capsicum all banned? I don't see them in the members list.

[jeff061]

Latter two are. I don't remember Kippy.

[jeff061]

Dola, the greatest thing about franklin was his posts before his wife found the forum, then his posts after. The contrast was fantastic. I believe he actually went through and deleted his old posts if I remember correctly.

[jbergey22]

Ive never used the ignore on any forum I have been a part of. It would make things less interesting as the people that bother me the most are usually right in some aspect. As far as the list goes Anthony is the only one that has really bothered me at some point and I believe it was because of the Lebron James thread. I think JonInMiddleGA has called me an idiot before but Im sure I had it coming:)

[Lathum]

[Cringer]

I thought my ignore list was empty but when I added this guy I found Loren there. But I'm pretty sure that was only because she insisted on using red text for her every post.

Edit: Ouch, and I just remembered that Loren is Cringer's wife. (I think?)

I have no idea who you are, but it wouldn't surprise me if a few other people around here had Loren on ignore just because of her red text. There was a lot of complaining about that when she was posting here semi-regular.


On another note, I wish we could do the opposite of blocking. I want to have certain people's posts highlighted for me. Like some kind of setting that lets me know every time Subby is saying something about Lathum. Maybe when RendeR posts something that pisses people off I get alerted. Stuff like that always makes for good reading. :)

[RendeR]

My head...it swells.....

[Cringer]

Well, this board is like a long, drawn out reality tv show. It's really good for drama (made out of very little sometimes) and some people get voted off once in a while, but when all is said and done it is the stronger personalities that keep it interesting and make me want to come back because otherwise a lot of it is the same conversations over and over.

Although I don't really need you telling me about your erection RendeR.

[stevew]

Loren needs to post



pix plz k thanks.

:)

Actually that would make an interesting debate.

Not RendeR's erection, but who the stronger/est personalities on FOFC are.

[Toddzilla]

I only have Oliegirl on my wignore list.that made me lol hard...

[Icy]

I have never added anybody to my ignore list at any forum, my eyes are selective enough to skip a post if i feel i should, that is not often, as i think that every person, no matter how idiot they are, can teach you something one day.

Also i don't usually get into arguing or flame wars in message boards, there is nothing more useless than that unless you are really bored.

Also probably most of the hottest discussions that lead to putting people on ignore lists are politics related, and as i have no knowledge/interest on USA politics, i always skip those threads.

I can remember two discussions here in all the years i have been in, one was about hunting, with somebody i can't remember right now, and i must admit that my post was too extreme and i deserved the calling out. The other was with HA/Anthony when i was still too sensitive about my lost baby and he posted something about wanting to f*** a pregnant B.Spears on a painful way or something like that, typical joke by him but that caught me in bad times and i pulled the trigger. Usually i would have just ignored those comments without answering.

[Alan T]

Having been married twice, I have become really good at ignoring people while not appearing to ignore them. I have carried that technique over to message boards where I have no need for an ignore list. I just choose not to read certain thread topics of a various nature, and generally skip through posts from a few members.

[flere-imsaho]

MrBigglesworth was basically a left wing bubba wheels imo.

Nah, BW would just make stuff up (again, in political threads) while MrB would link to other websites to support his arguments (something not a lot of people do, to be honest). I think MrB's ban was a lot like Jesse Ewiak's, for a level of persistence towards defending their viewpoints that just pissed a lot of people off.

So why is Bubba still around?

IIRC, one day BW just stopped posting in political threads. It was pretty impressive. He also may have gotten boxed once or twice. I haven't seen him post elsewhere, but maybe he does.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Was Bigglesworth banned? He shows up as "College Starter." Maybe he just stopped coming around.

[Buccaneer]

I think MrB's ban was a lot like Jesse Ewiak's, for a level of persistence towards defending their viewpoints that just pissed a lot of people off.

You're wrong, imo. Both of them would purposely pick fights and persistently antangonize those that did not follow their extreme viewpoints - as in that would be their primary reason for being here. No one had done that like them, nor do any of you do that now, at least not named MBBF. But it certainly doesn't matter anymore. The werewolves have won.

[Cringer]

I don't recall him being banned, he just disappeared from the FOF world. We was a great owner in the Imperial League for a long time and slow faded and then disappeared from there as well. The guy moved, I know that kicked the disappearance into high gear over there anyways.

[Radii]

Having been married twice, I have become really good at ignoring people while not appearing to ignore them.

This is probably my issue. Having only been married once, I can only do this for so long before I just snap and want to go ballistic on people. My tolerance level is high, but not nearly as high as someone with your level of experience ;)

[BYU 14]

I'd bet the number is considerably higher than you'd think, with a significant number of people using it the way I do for some people, a chance to be more selective about when you do or don't have to deal with someone's post. There's a number of people on my list that I do respond to, but having them there makes it easier to pick & choose when I do so.

Thats a good point, I actually don't anybody on my list at all as I respect the difference of opinions, even opinjions that make me go WTF?

I just can't anybody ever posting anything that would get me that upset and when I feel it happening I just stay out of a certain thread.

I am impressed with the size of your list though Jon, that's prolific.

Anybody have more than 63 people ignored?

Ahh yeah, the having sex w/ a pregnant Britney Spears comment. I remember it very well actually. It was that post that made me lose what little respect I had for him.

This might well sum up the state of the board, yes.

Franklin was cool as hell until his wife showed up, then all hell broke loose. And yes, he deleted a shit-ton of of his old posts when she started posting...

[Groundhog]

I'm curious if anyone has me blocked. I post a lot in religious threads, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone has. Plus I'm a real asshole.

[Danny]

We disagree on the religion issue, but the discussions that I saw from you were always respectful.

I personally have never had someone on my ignore list. There are plenty of things here I don't care for (most of the arguing, whining, and how every thread goes into jokes about trout or pumpy to name a few), but it's easily passed over.

[flere-imsaho]

OK, when you put it like that, I can see it. Which leads on to another point I was thinking about that you've referenced (and cuervo):

But it certainly doesn't matter anymore. The werewolves have won.

Those bans were when the FOF topics and the "off-topic" stuff was together, before we had "Off Topic". As such, Ben was reading those threads a bit more and I think I understand him (and a lot of other, longer-serving members) to have a considerably small tolerance for people arguing about politics ad nauseum.

That makes a lot of sense to me. Also, Ben is probably not likely to go INTO a political thread, so I bet that the fact that Jesse Ewiak was more likely to start a new thread instead of bumping an old one made him more likely to get banned.

[Schmidty]

I'm curious if anyone has me blocked. I post a lot in religious threads, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone has. Plus I'm a real asshole.

I'm a Christian and believe in a deity. You're an atheist. Big deal. Why would someone hate you for that? I mean, even if you called all believers completely unintelligent wack-jobs, isn't it supposed to be in my nature to NOT hate you for that?

Plus, I've seen pictures of you, and you're hotter than Alizee, and much nicer than Render. :)

(No offense Render)

Grounghog is love. Render is not.

I ignore everyone and everyone ignores me. It's the perfect inner peace.

So true.

I'd say I was Apathetic but I really just don't fucking care.
