/Ignore (closed)

Everything that's been suggested about this so far has either been ignored or chucked in a ditch. Are you just so firm on disallowing this grom being implemented into the game.

Proposition;

/Ignore be implemented to be able to ignore staff members, but require a confirm menu.

As well as a command to override this command so that anyone who has that staff member /ignore'd can see any important/critical messages from that staff member, instead of watching their random ramblings and such.

This solves both issues of members wanting the ignore command for staff, and the issue of people not seeing important messages.

This has been pointed out to me already. Thank you.

I said, "I was not aware of this", meaning, I was not aware that you were not being harassed. So, you are not being harassed. I apologized for my misunderstanding. Thank you.

I think people are forgetting the point that you don't have to ignore staff because of how they do their job. Just like normal players, people can just dislike a specific person. You don't have to like somebody.. Not to mention, you can always freely remove the specific person from your ignore list..

Section 2, Law 43 from a fake Document that I just came up with.

-Players have the right to dislike someone on the Empire, as well as the right to use /ignore when pissed off at said someone.

No one is stopping you from saying your opinion. We want to hear your opinion. You were the one saying to stop talking about this.

I stated that you had an issue with staff and then you say I know nothing about why you suggested it before saying that you "maybe" have a personal issue with staff. So let's be honest here, I know exactly why you raised this suggestion and you confirmed it.

If you don't want to share it with krysyy then there isn't going to be a resolution because you're refusing to do what it takes to resolve it. Krysyy already stated why the ignore feature isn't going to be altered. There are other options you have for ignoring staff but it'd require you to ignore everyone else too.

Cheer up, this is just a game!

Krysy is disallowing this because a lot of players think this is useless also Krysy mentioned this with staff and Aikar and they got a lot of bad feedback from players. And you may see that this thread is just full of negative feedback of this suggestion.

Or... maybe... its an issue he doesn't want to talk about with other people? Personal quarrels?

That's true I was

I see issues on both sides.

First off, I do believe this is a good idea. Just like anyone else, there are staff I do not like. There are also celebrities, politicians, and religious leaders I do not like. However, in a situation that involves me directly, I will listen to someone I dislike directly if they are positioned above me and what they say is just. There are staff I really don't like, and it is because of personal reasons, but what good would I be doing by talking to krysyy about it? Unless a staff member is abusing their powers against me, I should be allowed to act upon and have personal preference. I have a billion examples where I have had issues with staff, and I still do, but they are all personal, do not harm me, and do not require attention.

A mod should be able to override ignore through pm's, a mod should have the ability to send a message in town chat that overrides ignores, and a player should not be able to ignore a moderator for more than maybe 2 days at a time. Yes, these are a few extra steps for staff, but I do not see it making life that much harder for moderators. If they can't handle people disliking them, they are not fit for the job.

If you are a normal person, there is at least one staff you find annoying. We all don't like to admit it, but it is true. If a person is being annoying in town chat, I don't care who they are. Lets not pretend all staff are likable. Mods+ would be trusted not to abuse this power.

TL;DR: Some matters ignore is right for, the idea is good but should be less powerful than a

Everything beyond this line of text is extra:

standard /ignore, and staff shouldn't be immune to this.

I can't just not like a person? You can justifiably ignore someone without them harming you. Some issues are not serious enough to contact you, and I just want to keep it between me and the staff in question.

People have issues with the staff all the time. Lets say I come to you with my issues with a staff that do not involve abuse of power. How do you attempt to fix that without worsening my relationship with the staff?

I really think you shoulf open your eyes and then read the thread You'd infact see that there are many comments speaking of better ways to implement this idea. Also idc if other people think it's useless? I think treating staff like higher beings is stupid and I disagree with it but who cares? I'm just a regular player. If you don't like me or what I say /Ignore me.. Maybe I'll apply for staff actually then you'll have no choice but to listen to the random shite I have to say? Heck I might even do sime stupid crap out of game vut guess what.. you can't do crap because I have a fancy name.

Edit: If you can't tell I'm pissed off.

Are we ignoring this?

This idea was literally in my head as soon as I started reading and this could work.

I ignored a staff member pre-staff and I still want to ignore him/her, but it is just useless. It is not for a reportable reason, it's just a dislike. I would rather not hear him/her in town chat and have him/her have to do /ms Please don't spam, SkyDragonv8 instead.

I have agreed with you for all this. There is a couple of staff members who I find irritating at time but no harm done. It was not cool of you to go knock on every single one of them for "saying random shit"

Why would I ignore you? I have no reason to and I don't want to. I think your a great person just we both think different for this topic so be it. Everyone is different, I will try to open my eyes and to see the good things. But in this topic we think different. But I still think your a great person.

Staff are human. Not everyone is going to get along, and just because they have a green name doesn't mean they are liked by everyone. Many staff come on a server and make regular conversation that some people may not care for, and would like to mute that staff member. Do keep in mind though, that staff send out important announcements and warnings if you were to break the rules. How would you be warned if you muted the staff? It would be a bit of extra work to make sure that the player got your message, because they'd have to remember to do a PM instead of simply stating it in chat. While I don't see a huge problem with it being implemented I'm not exactly sure how the pros outweigh the cons. I've had staff I weren't particularly fond of, but I never felt the need to mute them.

that doesn't have anything to do with what I said. He doesn't have to talk about it with anyone but without communication then there is no resolution. So he either gets over it on his own or he talks about it with someone.

you're not just a regular player, you're a "prominent member"

Would it be possible to make it so the staff member is notified if they get ignored by someone.
"Staff X, you have been ignored by Player Y"
