BGR folks, I have spoken to two members of this site just today that did not know about the "ignore" option. These two were ready to leave BGR because of some trolling, but I'm hopeful they will stay now.

Trolls are a fact of life. They don't really bother me; sometimes I even like to banter with them. But evidently, they DO bother other posters.

BGR has loosened some of their regulations over the past few years. I think that's a good thing, really. The only thing that the moderators can do is follow the rules that are listed for the website. So even if a post makes you mad or aimed straight at you in a baiting maneuver, nothing can be done about it unless rules have been broken.

That's where the "IGNORE" option comes into play. Everyone has this option, and you can add as many trolls to it as you like. Once you add a name, then you will never see another post from that person unless you remove them from your ignore list.

Here's how it works:

First, know EXACTLY how your troll's name appears. Make note of any spaces, underlines, etc. Then in the upper left corner of the screen choose "UserCP". Next look in the left margin for "Edit Ignore List". When you choose that option, a box will appear and you can add name(s) of those people you want to ignore.

It's that easy. So if someone is pulling your chain; just "ignore" them!


Happy posting!!!
