I have just discovered a wonderful thing! I have discovered that you can put people on your “ignore list”. Of course, I have always been aware of this feature existed on Sciforums but have never tried it until now. It’s brilliant! I put the troll Buddha1 on my ignore list and now none of his crap shows up – fantastic!
However, there is still a problem. Whilst his posts are now blocked for me, his crap still shows up in the form of quotations in other peoples’ posts. So here is my dream, my vision.....
EVERYONE puts Buddha1 on their ignore list. Then none of his rubbish would show up for anyone, there would be nothing to reply to, and it would be the next best thing to him leaving.
He is not going to leave of his own volition as he is a troll whose specific intent is to stimulate arguments. We have to be proactive, we have to do something ourselves. Simply pleading with everyone to ignore him will not work as he is a very skilled troll who will always manage to goad people into replying to his rubbish. I too have been guilty of this.
This will work only if EVERYONE puts him on their ignore list. Just click on any Buddha1 link in any post and you will see "Add Buddha1 to your Ignore List" near the top right of the page. Click and you're done! So let’s try it and see what happens!
