[color:"yellow"]If it's not too late, I was wondering if an Ignore feature could be implemented on the boards?
That way if we didn't want to see any posts by a specific person (Speedstr), we could click on Ignore and none of their posts would show up.

That would be handy :P

Why thank you, Orc.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

what would be handy 2 is if you put a forum into your favorites you get a list of new posts. in your home or so.

a froum...??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> OOOOOOHHH, you mean a FORUM !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

it would be a good idea

but i havent seen irritating ppl in a while so..

are you sure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well, until then I guess you can bite me

It's your own fault. If you had been more politely, people wouldn't think this way about you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

You should say polite, not more politely. It makes you sound uneducated...go figure....and beleive it or not...I'm not really concerned about how people view me...go figure...

Speedstr: How would you call it if someone would criticize your knowledge in a foreign language? Helpful?... go figure ...
BTW, feel free to correct my English, I like to improve it.
Kiya
We're an international board here, last estimations: 34. Please, consider this large variety if you label someone as uneducated.

Thinking in such a way about me makes you look quite uneducated, too.

Remember: The Language is made for humans, not vice versa !

I decide how I trat language, not anyone else.

And mistakes are a part of Humamity, as you have just seen yourself.

If you don't make any mistakes, then you are a) educated, b) not human.

You should have said something more like...if my English

needs correcting, please feel free to improve upon it.

Glad I could help...

brainiac

the brainiac's are offended. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

kiya's phrasing is perfectly good. there is nothing wrong with what she said.

You don't realize the irony in that statement

Oh yeah I'm bored
cha cha cha
everybody bored sing
cha cha cha
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

speedstr- please, enlighten me.

You should say believe, not beleive <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

you're right kejero <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
now we know whos the uneducated around here.

speedstr, why do you always want to offend everyone?
do you act like this IRL to?
in that case i dont think you have many friends..

just curious, I dont mean to offend you.
(and yes, you are allowed to correct my enlish 2, it won't be perfect since i'm only 17 years old.)
how old are you anyway?

and repeating words like go figure everytime makes you sound uneducated 2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

here he goes again, you are not educated yada yada yada load of crap...

Are you a teacher or so? if you are it would explain a lot.

and we all have to sound educated don't we? who knows somebody might think we where to dumb to get an education or wait I'm not really concerned about how people view me...go figure... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />

Gees, people, get a clue. Flame wars can be fun, if at least one of the participants has some wit about him. Unfortunately, Speedstr is just a small little troll who gets his jollies by trying to piss people off. There are two ways to deal with this:

1. make a black list post and ask Lynn to honor it.

2. ignore him.

I would happily pull Speedstr into a real flame war if I thought he had anything significant to say. However, I have never seen anything he(she?) has posted, here or on the old board, that made any sense or was in any way significant. I'm guessing he(she?) is under the age of 18, maybe even 15, otherwise I'm sure the posts would have at least a little bit more substance to them. I imagine a flame war to end up looking something like the "So, you came for an argument" sketch from Monty Python...

Palin: "But this isn't an argument!"
Cleese: "Yes, it is."
Palin: "No, it isn't. An argument isn't the simple gainsaying of anything the other person says."
Cleese: "Can be."
Palin: "arrgggh!!"

etc.


I say, if speedstr becomes too much of a nuisance, go for option 1. if not, option 2.

cheers

Actually, this has been settled in a different topic somewhere. Everything is peaches and cream now, and Speedstr is part of our one-big-happy-family. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />


EDIT: This was not intended to be taken sarcastically, though the second sentence was not entirely serious. I simply wanted to keep people from jumping in with their opinion or rushing to defend themselves without realizing that previous problems had been resolved.

This is a correction of style. The original statment sounds somewhat clumsy, but does not violate any grammar rules.

well, hope so. We'll see.

cheers

Id say hes about a 2 yeart old english teacker [color:"green"] [/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

For all those, who have not read the following thread:

We've settled it, click here please
So, please, let's try the peac(h)es+cream part, keeping the tongue relaxed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />?
Kiya

its unbelievable <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

and btw, age is not important in this question, i'm 17..

beleive it. I've come to realize that my frustration was geard towards Larian and thier lack of support and patches (which I'm still waiting), and not the people on this forum. As long as the "other" people here can go about thier business without bringing up my name in a derogatory way, then I have no beef with anyone....fair enough?

kiya, you always make me hungry and i'm on a diet.. GRMMMBBBLLL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I've been flame-waring since 1996..more than likely way before you even placed your digits on a keyboard. I doubt you could handle it....too bad I've turned over a new leaf on this forum.

Well then I hope you enjoy the forum and make lots of new friends.

i hope so to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

speedster, were did you flame war be4?

The earliest I can find is 1997 on alt.comp.sys.mac.advocacy
Do a search on Google groups..you'll find them.
Funny, much like Sir_Toejam and a few others here have said, they called me idiot, wanted to ban me, said I had no debating skills etc...etc.. usually after there really is no more debating to go on and it's turned into a insult fest and usually it's an indication that they cannot sustain a combative nature and, rather than admit defeat, would rather resort to those such things....

so trust me when I say Sir_Toejam that I could flame you so hard you would need a bucket of water just to douse the fire. But, like I said..that isn't going to happen here..I gave my word....

I don't flame as much, only when sombody is really annoying, or if someone is really unoriginal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

*sigh*... here i am biting my tongue... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

I guess if you have only been debating online since 1996, it would explain why you don't recognize flame-bait when you see it. However, I don't entertain without reason, and the responses shown here indicate that most feel you have "turned over a new leaf" so my motivation for the flame-bait may have been unjustified. I wonder, though, as your comments here seem intended as flame-bait themselves <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Just in case, I'm always up for a bit of debate (civil or not). Feel free to select a few ideas for topics if you wish, and send me a list via forum PM. Can be as hot or cold as you wish (you set the tone), just so long as we keep it there and keep it interesting.

cheers

Lol Viper! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Please don't Chat in the Suggestions Forum !
