They should make it possible to block people so you don't recieve messages or see any posts from them. I have currently been recieving hate mail from someone and I would like it if I could just block that person out so I won't have to deal with him. I won't mind if any of you disagree with me, everyone has there own opinion.

But then where will you be able to find find 11 year old boys cursing like sailors and telling you that they're 21 and will "kick your ass"?

I'd agree with the suggestion to block people from PMing you, providing you can't block admins like JJJ or Sethaniel or whoever, because they're not going to send you hate mail (and if they do they lose their job).

As for the forums, no - as silly as some of the posts are on the forums, you can't discount everything a person says. Also, it would be extremely hard to implement because of the way the forums are coded, not to mention it'd be confusing to skip posts on a thread and not know what everyone is replying to. If somebody's being stupid on the forums just send a message to a moderator asking them to delete their posts, or alternatively just ignore them. I have little trouble with trolls because I don't interact with them when they act silly.

Not seeing what someone says on the forums would likely be extremely hard to code, and it would make the thread extremely confusing as people keep disucusing topics that have already been explained.

However, it shouldn't be too hard to simply not see messages sent by one person, and I would support it.

You can just not open/ignore/report the PM.

You can just not read/ignore/report the thread.

There's really no need to go as far as blocking things. Whether or not it's an easy task, no one here can do it anyways.

I agree in that you should report people for PM issues, however, I would not support a hate list for CYOA. And barely anyone have sent in PM of hate extreme enough that they would need to report it to JJJ, aside from you that is. There is already enough hate in the world and we are a small community, please don't make this into social website like Facebook.

As for annoying or intrusive forum threads, JJJ sometimes delete those, and if you really don't like a person, just don't open their thread. There are many different in the internet, that is true, but I think that is what makes it so wonderful. Take the good with the bad, and just laugh.

different people*

on the internet*

If Silver's the one recieving hate mail, then it would be Kidd who's spreading the hate, and Silver can't really do anything about it other than try to stop it, as she is now.

But yeah, it would suck if this site was like Facebook. It would start with people using horrible language and text speak, then there would be useless and petty arguments everywhere, then there would be hate messages floating around for no reason, then... wait a minute, that's happening now! Well, friends, I think the CYS apocalypse is upon us.

haha, Bo keeps making me laugh!

I support the idea of blocking people's posts, but if this site becomes like Facebook I might kill myself.

This would definitely make the forums a nicer place, but if a lot of users respond to a blocked person, you'd have to unblock all of the posts. I still support this idea.

And here I thought you were one of the nice ones....

The my little pony reference

Pfft. Princess Celestia is a cold-hearted bitch.

...this post would be funnier if I could figure out how to post an image.

I literally just drag the image from another tab and put it into the textbox.

Also lol, you watch my little pony.

My Little Pony--depraved fetish porn.

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, "when I grew up I put aside childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to appear very grown up."  It's a VERY well made show and if you're missing it just because you're too cool for cute things you're not hurting anybody but yourself. :P

Anyway, thanks for the tip. :) I couldn't get it working at first but then I realized I didn't have rich text on, I guess that was the problem.

I just don't want to be associated with things involving 4chan.

I'm well aware that children shows can be good. In fact they're often better than shows aimed at adults.

To be realistic though there's literally no popular show, book, game or movie in the entire world you can enjoy if you take into account whatever mind-scarring depravity the Internet has unleashed upon the poor unsuspecting characters. I just enjoy stuff on its own merits and never, ever do a google image search. (I went looking for Lion King fanart once when I was fourteen and found the combination of bleach and steel wool required afterwards to be kind of painful on the ol' eyeballs...but hey, I learned my lesson.)     

You can set search options you know lol.

I understand your point, but I still won't watch the show. Just not interested in it.

Occasionally you'll find the children's shows aimed at adults... like Adventure Time :P

You're correct, it's a pretty well made show, the maker also made Adventure Time and I like them both (Yes cool, I've seen the occasional episode haha. I'll watch it from time to time, but it's my brother that's the bronie). I'm not scared to admit I still watch cartoons... but wait, maybe my not being scared to admit it is acting childish because I'm trying to look mature... I dunno what to think anymore.

She also made Powerpuff Girls, another cartoon ostensibly aimed at kids but with a ton of stuff designed to fly right over their heads.

...damn, now I miss that show. Gonna go see if it's on Netflix...

It's probably on Netflix, but now it's on Cartoon Network.

I don't think this is about Blocking People....

Yes. From the important issue of maybe making our website better to.....cartoon network cartoons -_-

The only important issue is that many summers ago, when I was still probably in junior high or late in elementary, Cartoon Network changed for the worse, man!  When they went from CartoonNetwork to CN, the line-ups followed, and my childhood ended!....

I mean, yeah.  Blocking people, I guess that's not a bad idea. haha  I'm with October here.  Can't really be done in the forums, but blocking PM's shouldn't be too bad.  Even though, I don't see this as a priority, as you can just do what (I think it was) Bo said, and delete the PM's without reading them.  Problem solved

Wait, no.  It was Ugilick.  Just deleted them, and it's as good as blocking someone
