    Just an idea, -if you send a mail to someone who has you on ignore there is a not-received automated reply if you are on their ignore (i might have dreamed this but:cool:)
    So to conclude
    Send everyone registered on boards a mail and you should know who is ignoring you..
    Bit time consuming but if you have a good friend from the nocturning forum get him/hur to do it as they are always looking for things to occupy them at the wee ours. That and bribing one of the Admins with hookers and coke for the info is the only way I can think of.

    The problem with that is not all members have opted to receive emails. I switched it off as I was fed up with getting creepy mails from creepy males.

    Why, are you hot? Is she hot?

    PM her and find out!

    Be sure to attach a photo of your balls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    Why, are you hot? Is she hot?

    No, I'm not hot, but that's an indication of the type or person who was mailing me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality


    She's definitely hot if she is denying it... I'd say your in with a big chance scientist... Go with the balls picture , FTW!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz

    Honestly, I'd rather if there was no way someone could find out if they are being ignored. If they're aware of it, then they might try to contact the person who's doing the ignoring in a different way, or get someone else to contact them. "Oh no, I'm being ignored!" *signs up alt account*

    Do you think many people use the ignore function.

    Is there stats on this?
    Is there like the most ignored person?

    Or Person who ignores most?

    Oh and my reason for asking this is just plain nosiness.

    I dont need stats or that..

    You have got to be completely barking insane.

    There is no way, no way on earth we are ever releasing that info or anything like it. No no. Not now, not ever.

    If there is a way to discover if someone is ignoring you, we'd like to know as we will do our best to patch that.

    And as for a "most ignored person" list? So many things wrong with that idea I'm paralysed by choice.

    Sorry, just wanted to post again to be sure I wasnt unclear. That would be ehhhhhh, NO.


    When you consider that the data commissioner is worried that our changing people's tagline to "banned" when we ban someone *might* be a violation of the DPA, I think we might cause brane-b0rk of the highest order if we did anything like what you are suggesting.

    Not that we are even considering it.













    Ever.

    jesus christ....and there was me thinking the data protection commission has better ****ing things to be investigating.

    My tagline is now personal information...laugh out ****ing loud.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,113 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I'm not sure of boards position on this.

    More worryingly Ruggie, we contacted them and kinda pointed this out and they were very nice and helpful and professional. But worryingly clueless about what sort of site Boards is... I think the phrase "chat rooms" was used, which is never a good sign.

    We have now included in the TOS that we may expose your account "status" to the general public.


    This, and my inbox is slowly filling with constant Irish mail spam, even though its supposed to be illegal here.

    Jaysus, has he not got better things to do with his time. Nice to see a privacy statement has been put up though.

    yeah, we had one for ages but like a favourite book, it got lost somewhere in house-moving or something.

    Oh, I used the ignore button once, telling the insulting lad just before doing it. Ooooooooo, the POWER! Maybe I'll run for US President next? Bush has a "super power" ignore button I could use in the Oval Office!

    That's just ridiculous. I wonder what sort of case mordeth has given his username has been changed 100,000 times? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,790 ✭✭✭cornbb


    I hope whoever got offended at having the word "Banned" under their username never found their way to the banlist to see some of the comments left about banned users there tbh...

    So if boards is gonna stop publically using the word Banned on the tagline how are we gonna know that someone has already been sitebanned? How would we know when to report a spammer? How would we know whether infracting or forum-banning someone would be a waste of time? Would it be possible to indicate more discreetely that someone is banned, or could we make the tagline appear like that for mods only, like how we can view infractions at the moment?

    I don't think they are going to stop using the word banned, they just now have to explicitly tell the punters that that's what'll happen if they DO get banned. I think.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Yeah, thats basically it. To be fair any dealings i've had with the commissioner himself have been quite good actually so this was a bit of a surprise. It seems to have come from someone who tends their email box and got a bit over enthusiatic. Anyway its sorted.

    Since this has been answered I'll ask a little question of my own roughly in the same vein. Any chance of seeing who uses you as a referral when joining?
    I have two referrals but no idea who they are, just a causal interest.
