This is gonna be a feminist thing isn't it?
Got squished, what?
writing custom plug-ins takes some time and with this issue rarely occuring it really isn't worth the time investment. Plus keep in mind everytime we update the software we'd have to redo the plug-in..ughhhhhh!!Well, you can try all you want to have people be sensible, but you can't really legislate decency.
I think that, on the whole, CK's system here is a damned good one, far better than what I have seen elsewhere. But a couple of tweaks would maybe not be a bad idea, esp. Gracie's one suggestion and the software suggestion, which would actually save the mods and admin unneccessary extra work. Think about it.
What's said online is catching up to what shows up in printed mediums legally. But more and more what we say online is resulting in our being held legally responsible and accountable as with Twitter and Facebook rants and slurs and bullying. Can envision sites allowing such things to eventually become libel for slander providing the medium like. Not like you need to be able to win to get sued
Just to try to make it clearer....I'm gonna use Stat cuz he won't mind
And remember..this is just an example. Stat is a pal of mine. But he is great for experiments and examples.
Let's say I put Stat on ignore. Gracie then tells the mods Stat is on ignore and Stat better not @ me cuz I will cry. So..mods inform Stat that I cried about him and have him on ignore. He is informed. However, Gracie continues to talk about Stat whenever she can...and not in a good way. So this means Gracie gets some flimsy pansy-assed protection but can still bash the fuck out of Stat from the safety of a mod's underskirt...or pants.
Right?

Stat is a bit of a douche, so it's good you used him.
but yea, dems da rulz
I think you can thank bdboop for these idiotic rules. she bitched so much about how hardcore we were they changed a lot of rules, created the kiddy zone and basically make us all play nice with each other.
Ever notice the FZ sucks now? it's b/c all the best flamers left over these rules.
but on the plus side, a bunch of limp wristed whiners joined.

I did, huh. Wow, I just have all the power.
Of course that doesn't explain how most of the changes and and flames leaving happened in my absence - but don't let that stop you.
you left b/c you got caught talking shit about a member of usmb on another board, but usmb members caught your ass and flamed you off. even you fellow leftist hated on you for being such a c-bomb
true story twatty.

Maybe you just need to add a rule that when you put someone on ignore it is up to you to PM them and advice them they are on ignore. Then, if they @mention, pm or VM you after you have notified them, your copy of the PM sent to the Mods should be enough for them to infract the person for violating the rule. If the person has their PM's turned off, then you should send a PM to the mods for them to forward your PM to that person. That seems easy enough.
One guy somewhere else chatted recently that his son is going to school to be a mortician. One not-very-nice-guy then claimed the kid (his son just finished high school) was a necrophiliac. Why else would someone choose to take care of the deceased?
I found that disgusting. I also find it disgusting that one gal here is constantly called a crack whore that sells herself.
Now, humor me for a minute. Let's say this lady gets in a car wreck, her family looks on her computer to let her friends know she has passed, and they find comments that she is a crack whore? Or...the person that constantly calls her this, takes it further...and not announcing it...and stalks until he finds her real name and location and contacts child protective services? Is this board not responsible in some way for allowing that to take place here?
Sure, calling people dick, asshole, tard, moron, stupid, idiot, c word, snot, crazy, liar, etc etc etc...but crack whore and pedophile are the same in the disgust department. And....the net is going through changes as we speak. One guy I know sued another for defamation. Go Daddy was sued too. The guy won. Over a mil, if I remember correctly.

Wouldn't it just be easier to allow people to turn off the @ function, or make it like PM/VM where you can opt to only receive them from people on your friends list??

Do you have case law, law review articles and other authoritative material? I would be very interested in how this applies to social media sites such as USMB.
