Okay, I have a few legit tech questions, buried under a bit of a rant.
Throughout all the varied discussions and passionate opinions expressed here on NWFA (some that can get pretty heated - even uncivil), no one has managed to make me start an Ignore List - YET.
On the contrary, it's all fascinating to me, even the disputes, baiting, etc. And, actually, I sort of prefer to see what any member might have to say, even the trolls, and do my ignoring on-the-fly after a sentence or two ("know thy enemy"). Or just avoid reading their stuff altogether. But now I'm considering using Ignore, but for sort of a different reason.
A member recently started bombarding a number of threads with generic internet gibberish, memes, jokes, reposts, etc., etc. Dozens and dozens daily. I know he means no harm, but damn! To me, if feels like the NWFA site, which I've enjoyed for years is suddenly full of "junk mail," and I must now sort through a LOT of generic pandering in certain threads to search for the interesting stuff.
I know... (poking fun at myself here...) Waaaaaaaa!!!
Opinions vary.
Anyhow, here are my questions:
- When I put this player on ignore, will it only filter out his new stuff from this point going forward? Or will it hide all his older things from view too?
- Can I decide at some point to un-ignore him if I want to?
- And in that case, would all of his existing stuff re-appear as if he had never been on ignore?
I ask because Ignore is a new thing to me and I want to understand it before I pull the trigger, so to speak.
Thanks in advance.
