A byzantine website design is not a desirable attribute, yet it arises due to the intolerable abuse of the more simply designed website. DPR forums have, over the past several years, turned into, basically, a "fight site," where immature individuals who desperately seek attention from the world at large take up huge amounts of on line real estate. Reading many forum discussions involves overlooking half of the posts, at the least. At this point, almost any solution would be desirable!

isn't that interesting?
Imagine going to a bar and demanding everyone pays attention to what you have to say- however important or not, because you know better than each of them that they better pay attention to you

That's the thing. Someone can let you know- or not right now. And as you say even if they did let you know, then they still have to "stuff it" though they are sick of seeing your image, because according to you it's relevant to the different subjects. So they can just click ignore, not pay attention to your posts while other interested people continue reading your stuff.
What makes you think that you have the judgement call, or right to decide for them? Let's say they were sulking- they probably aren't going to speak up anyway.
Now imagine you are in real life and someone is sulking, decides to go home and not go to the same bar you go. What do you do, do you follow them forcefully showing them again and again "your evidence" (and that's assuming that you are after all correct, maybe you even aren't anyway).
What makes you think you have any right whatsoever in forcing anyone to read anything you write? Why so afraid one guy can ignore you by their own free will and choice, for stuff that affects them ?
I don't understand.

Neither do I.
I must be missing something here. Who is "forcing" anyone to read anything here?
You can ignore anyone you want on this forum RIGHT NOW, there's no technology needed!

in your case, just add another logon name. as has already been mentioned in the past, it is difficult for the moderators to control those who have been banned before and simply create new logon names, like you do.
bans serve a purpose only if the party is willing to change, which clearly you and natureman are not willing to do. on top of that, when banned, you simply go out and create another logon name to rejoin. then the process starts all over again.
lets all just be honest for a second. bans are temporary at best if one knows how to change their own ip address, like numerous people do. the only thing that would work is an ignore list. when someone gets under your skin, you simply click the ignore list on that person and they are dead, gone, history, kaput, etc. if they rejoin and start all over again, you hit the ignore button again.
if this feature was present, i would hit the ignore button on michael j. natureman, and malcolm practice so fast it would make your heads swim, and i have my eyes on another new one now that may just be in that mix of new logons for these guys.
so please, phil and staff, the only option is the ignore button. in my opinion it solves most problems.

this place is really turning into a joke, and you guys are happy to ruin it arent you?
to the moderators, if you would clearly check, this guy adverse camber is the previously banned, bobn2, aka b229bn2.
how would a new member know about the joe mama situation and be posting to me already. geeezzzz.
when will it all end.
never.
when i see that the ignore feature has been added, i will return, until then, it is clearly time to leave this circus to the animals. let the chaos begin.

You are a one note looney tune. Get it through your head lady, I am only one person with only one log on name. You are chasing me around because of some delusional fantasy playing in your head!
Your bans haven't worked on you. You're still stalking.
I was not banned. You were.
See "delusional fantasy" above.
Why only a second? Why not be honest about this: If you want to ignore me so badly, WHY DON'T YOU? Don't follow me around, don't read my posts and don't respond to them. I do not initiate posts to you. If you jump into a thread and respond to one of my posts, I'm not going to ignore you - I will respond back. If you want to ignore me, like you say, then just ignore me. Care to try it? It will be some time (if at all) before any "ignore" button is up and running.
As you have twice attested to.
No, that's not all that would work - you could stop stalking.
Here's an easier way - STOP LOOKING FOR THEIR POSTS! :-D
A month ago you said I was non-existent to you - I thought GREAT! - but you keep stalking back. Do you want an ignore button because you have no self control? What would keep you from turning the ignore button off and start stalking again?
You don't need an ignore button, you need to turn off your computer.
Why don't you ignore all those guys RIGHT NOW?! My head could use a swim.
OMG!!! She sees FOUR boogeymen now!! :'-D
It won't solve your real problems babe.

You can have less trash to wade through. You still see titles that clog the view, that's all. You can certainly ignore, it's even better when you don't have to look at that stuff, computer assisted.
But the reasons you give for NOT doing so are the reason I wrote what I wrote in my reply. You sidestepped those points completely.

Sorry if I missed your other points - I guess I was fixated on the "forcing anyone to read" quote.
I understand most people's reasons for wanting more control and better use of technology. I don't think it is necessary, but that's just my opinion and not being necessary has never stopped progress before. \;-)

Now that's interesting. You usually sign your posts with "Adverse" but this time you signed "Michael".
Boy oh boy, I go away for a day to hob-knob with dragonflies, damselflies, and other wonderful creatures and when I come back this place has gone crazy.
Tomorrow I'll be with butterflies and zebras, moonbeams and fairy tales. You children behave yourselves while I'm gone.

DPR could implement a "Most Ignored" list to sit right next to the new Most Active list, a great opportunity for bored measurebaters and forum statisticians. Those with permanent bans could get a red devil icon next to their ID
