Friends? Foes? Ignoring posts?

Postby gertcoetzee » Mon Aug 13, 2012 5:34 pm

I have added a user who floods this forum with advertisements as a "Foe", yet still see the numerous posts. Is it possible to get the server to "ignore" these on my behalf?

Maybe has commercial status i.e. Eagle?

Yes, it is. I still do not wish to read his posts.....see the picture: recent posts, and all I see is *** ^@$%!£ advertisements. I do not wish to see or read those.


And I cannot add this user to the foe list, because...

" You cannot add administrators and moderators to your foes list. "

So it is a bit like watching SABC and being forced to watch the ads, no option to record and FF

Unfortunately Gert, these adverts and people (like with SABC) is funding the things you do want to see. So, if you would like to keep seeing the things you want to see you will have to sometimes see the things you don't want to see. :P

Actually it is really easy, just don't open his for sale (section) ads, I do it every day so don't see anything!

Clearly I am doing something wrong because I can not even see his adds when I open the for sale section...

Same here, when I opened gert's post it was the first time I saw the ads.

Yes sure, advertising is OK, but in moderation. It's like opening the yellow pages now!

I may be being stupid but where I can't see his section at all. I know that he has one but until I saw this post never thought about it...
