status-todo Ignore Thread

[21x20]

The ability to ignore threads would be really helpful.

Everything from over-priced sales threads and auctions that people keep bumping, to threads that amount to not much more than personal attacks on other folks... It would just be great to ignore threads we consider junky that keep getting bumped over and over.

Thanks!

I think its an awesome feature to have, as mentioned by @Tushar Batra there could be some drawbacks but there would also be advantages. Whats important is the option to choose...in my opinion the more choices we have then the more we can customize our NP experience.

it can be really frustrating trying to find anything of value in terms of domain investing discussion/advice these days

We have features to help find the best threads quickly. Here are a couple:

• Overview of the top content each day, week, and month (30 days).
  • Top Topics of the Week is a handpicked archive of the Overview page that goes back as far as Feb 2015.
• Domain Discussion combines all of the discussion forums around domains into a single aggregate. This is almost identical to "New Posts" except that it only contains domain discussions (no sales listings).

Certain members seem to have mouth diarrhea, often posting multiple times on nearly every page of discussion threads

If their posts are relevant then multiple posts by the same member in many threads is not a problem.

Certain members seem to have mouth diarrhea, ... frequently making multiple consecutive posts (all lacking any kind of substance).

Both of these are a problem and they are rule violations:

• "frequently making multiple consecutive posts"
• "lacking any kind of substance"

Please report them. Here is the rule:

Rule 1.14. Do not make noncontributory posts or artificially inflate your post count ("post pad"):

• Do not unnecessarily post multiple times in a single discussion in a short period of time, sometimes called instant messaging (instead, take your time before posting so that all relevant content can be grouped together within a minimum amount of posts).
• Only post comments and questions that are pertinent to the topic and contribute to the discussion.
• Needlessly short and/or noncontributory posts are not allowed except in select sections like Domain Name Requests and Domain Chat.

Many of these people have been called out on what they are doing by other members, but moderators have responded that it is not a problem.

I've also tried reporting such posts, but was told the same thing.

If Rule 1.14 is being violated and there are moderators saying it is not a problem, then please report that to NamePros Management. The management team will make sure that moderators are taking the appropriate actions and that those reports don't get handled incorrectly again.

Thanks for helping us fix this problem.

As a developer myself I say an easier solution for the sidebar would be to use a little JavaScript to make the sidebar boxes into collapsible boxes.

This way if you did not want to see a box the contents could be hidden or exposed with just one click.

This is extremely easy to implement and would not require messing with the site too much.

We heard you, and we've been working on it for a while now, but some more urgent issues have been distracting us. It's back on today's to-do list, though.

fantastic.. I am sure many members look forward to seeing you getting time to implement an ignore thread feature one day.
thanks

Domain Discussion combines all of the discussion forums around domains into a single aggregate. This is almost identical to "New Posts" except that it only contains domain discussions (no sales listings).

Is there a shortcut way to reach this? Like "New Posts" is right there in the header so it's easy.

I tried https://www.namepros.com/content-overview/ then the discussion tab , but that is different results than https://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/

EDT: Ok nevermind, it would still be nice as a forum feature but I just changed my keyboard shortcut so it defaults to above discussion link instead : duh - grin :

It's on the home page:



I'll recommend adding it to the header menu.

Ignoring a thread would prevent it from appearing under New Posts, sidebar widgets (New Replies, Popular This Week), etc.

If you're interested in this, please Like the first post or leave a comment.

Thanks.

do you have estimated rollout date or month for this ignore thread feature I am dying to see implemented.. but hope not to die before I see it implemented (jk).

thanks Eric.

We don't have an estimate at the moment, but it's in the top 3 of our "nice to have" list as soon as we get through the "must do" list.

Blocking people will stop their threads from displaying in new posts?
Is there a limit to number of people person can block?

Ignoring people will, yes.

Is there a limit to number of people person can block?

We haven't heard about a limit on it, but if one does exist, it'd likely be around 2,000 members on your Ignore list, similar to the Following list limit. @Paul Buonopane may be able to provide a more exact answer.

 

[Mister Funsky]

I suggest an option where we can tick a form box (on/off at will) which will show all threads regardless of ignored, and turn back on to only show threads not ignored.

This would be awesome! I would rather not ignore a user on a wholesale basis...but if they are bumping a name that is useless to me or involved in a rant/thread I choose not to donate any of my limited time to, it would be nice to remove/hide it.

To paraphrase the great captain Jean-Luc Picard from the future "[please] make it so".

It's been 20 months since the quoted update.

Was this idea scrapped?

Too bad, as this feature would have been awesome, and a lot of us were looking forward to it.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Was this idea scrapped?

This feature will exist one day.

It moved down the priority list a little bit, but it's not going anywhere.

We know many members would like this feature.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Bumping this up cause mods linked to it from one of @alcy other threads. Hope i am not on ignore alcy. its been 5 years since requested, @lennco sorry bro, your ignored. Its only way for me to not see the political thread.
Any update on the ignore thread feature?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Any update on the ignore thread feature?

Shortly after the upgrade of our forum software is completed. It's a big undertaking because NamePros has a lot of customizations, but once it's upgraded, we'll all start to see new features appearing quickly after members request them.

ty but whole point of ignore thread is to spare eyes and not have to see title at all.

this does not solve it and in fact puts title in different shade.. making it even more eye popping.

countless threads are never read by countess members.. yet each has to see them in thread lists.

this is complete waste of time.. space .. and eyes.

I hope one day u solve it.

further about ignore:

I dare hope one day a thread where new post is made by ignored member will not appear as updated thread.

also .. and this should be priority... ignored members should never see ability to pm us. snd If they do.. as is now. and it gets muted... then we should never get email about that pm

ty
