No no I talked about that though Self-moderation includes not wanting people to be in a discussion that you started. This isn't Reddit. Say I invite all my friends to talk about videogames or whatever the hell. I don't invite the dude who only has shit-talking and flaming to add to that discussion. If I don't want him there, I don't want him there, simple as that. Edit: Look, I'm not saying use mute with abandon. And yes, it could be abused to some degree. But I'd like to think that this community, regardless of what some think about it, is better than that. But I definitely don't think it should go away.Mute silences people from everyone, whether they're talking to you or not. If you've muted someone, they cannot be heard on anything you post.
If you're muted from a discussion, start your own. Then we can all splinter off into a million groups and never have to see each other.
Mmhmm...thought about it, no thanks. I mean, it's not like I'm muting anyone right now. I'd only ever use it if someone derailed discussions constantly, or discussed things like an asshole, as you do. Luckily you don't post in my threads, so I don't need to. But I wouldn't hesitate to drop the banhammer if needed. And that's just what it is. A banhammer. On Hubski, everyone is their own mod. And if I want to ban you, I will. And that's all I gots ta say on tha Matta. Damn, Mmkay is sittin in a hammock with coconut milk in his hand and a book on C in the other going "Holy shit I picked a good time to go on vacation."
Lol, yes, you are. The hell is with the semi ebonics, what are you trying to communicate to me, whiney mreilandbby. And I don't feel like addressing your other "point" because you lost a chance for good discourse a while ago, when you showed you couldn't do it, and don't deserve it. This, by the way, is what happens when you don't mute someone. Are you enjoying it yet? Because to be honest, I am. I may actually reevaluate my feelings on muting!
In case you were wondering when I decided to mute you.
I don't usually do this gif thing that you do, but here I am trying. http://gph.is/XLBEv5 http://gph.is/XKodLS
HOW DO I EMBED THEM
Do you think this doesn't happen on basically every website used by more than the people who created it, ever? Question dos, Do you not think that if the admins began locking down the mute function to be used only how they "think" it should be used would not be a case of the admins being control freaks themselves? Would you not find it blatant?I wonder if it bothers the admins to see people blatantly being control freaks using a feature they never planned on being used in such a manner.
people blatantly being control freaks
If peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, do you think angels pass gas? The admins are in control of what features people get to use, the question was, do you think they're happy seeing people use the feature as a weapon when that was never the intent?Do you not think that if the admins began locking down the mute function to be used only how they "think" it should be used would not be a case of the admins being control freaks themselves? Would you not find it blatant?
I agree with that, but what if there is personal friction between 2 members of a group? I think it would be good if the mutes were publicly displayed somehow, so if there was someone who the rest of the friend circle wanted to be in the dicussion they could question the muter about it, and if it was some retarded pole-sucking asshat(Couldn't think of a good word so I got one from http://pastebin.com/QEvjy8bz) and everyone was happy for the pole-sucker to be discluded, s/he would be. Just a possible problem/solution, not saying 'X SHOULD BE LIKE Y DAMNIT" only that it's something to consider. :)If you're muted from a discussion, start your own. Then we can all splinter off into a million groups and never have to see each other.
