Here's the problem with an in chat ignore option for mic.

Let's say Person A wants to ignore Person B, but no one else is ignoring person B. Well let's say person B is talking on the mic, and Person A wants to talk on the mic too? Well if Person A is ignoring Person B, they'll be trying to grab the mic as person B is talking, because they have him on ignore and cant see that they have the mic.

I noticed this years ago on Yahoo chat. It makes for a very sloppy chat experience because people try grabbing the mic while people they are ignoring are also talking.

If a person you have on ignore happens to be on the mic...it will pop up and say ''someone else is on the mic'' you just wont hear him because he will be on ignore..when the next person grabs the mic,, you know he is done taking

if you dont want to see someone and hear you have two ways if you dont know how to accept other ppl a : dont log into chat ... b: close your eyes and put something into your ears and you are safe ...
Thats totally fair. We lose our privilege to be on chat because someone else is being annoying.

Imagine you are in a retaurant, enjoying a nice quiet meal. I sit at the table next to you and start screaming, saying offensive things to you,and just acting like a jerk...when you complain to manage ment, they tell you ''Well if you dont like it, then dont eat here''...that wouldnt make much sense would it????

You can think whatever you want about the reasons behind it. Thats not what i'm here to discuss, though. Bottom line is some of the people in chat are very immature, and a handful get away with saying and doing things other people would get in trouble for, and i'm tired of watching these people get away with repeatedly breaking rules because they're favored. There's nothing wrong with wanting to distance yourself from people who have a negative effect on you.

YEs it is a big issue.....AlexLifeson man, if someone puts someoneon the new ignore feature and it causes them problems with room context then they can unignore.I bet it WOULD work for a bunch of people and make the experience more pleasant. And to Rus Lady if u dont like it go away find a way to love people blah blah to people who are the same day after day after day. What a naive and facile solution to a complicated problem. Either something is lost in translation or you are just being argumentative out of boredom.

I'm beginning to want a refined ignore feature implemented after seeing that condescending refute at rus.

You must associate the word condescending with not knowing what all the words mean because my answer to her was very pertinent and to the point.

*blink blink.
I wanted to say something similar to what Bjorn said, but i knew it wouldn't be right. So i curved my response best i could. Now i see a battle brewing and i'm bowing out of this thread.
I will say that it seems if you see a practical problem with a suggestion given, that seems an appropriate response. But if you're going to start judging people's hearts and telling people how they should be acting and thinking, take it to a more appropriate place in the forums. Telling people how You Think they should be thinking and acting is not really what this thread, or this section of the forum is about. Its about posting ideas to improve the site and discussing the positives and negatives of implementing those ideas. Now that someone has chosen to make it a personal, heart, mind issue its causing dissention and stirring up problems and debate.

lol well , u may think as u wish here . but how do u guys bring others to Christ ? those who has bad attitude ? it might be naive from my way to talk how i do it now . but i do think with some ppl others need to try to be a bit patient ... and ugly , im not trying to tell what to do ... i just dont get it ... how would Christ act towards troublem makers and other negative ppl ? would HE take himself from them or not ? ... guess , its naive thought too , right ? and i am no longer use chat , so thanks

Is our journey not to learn to love people, be tolerant, be kind? Imagine if we said or did things Jesus didn't like and he just ignored us or put us in another room. It is easy to love the lovable .. try and grow and learn to love the unlovable.

While i wish we could all hold hands and jump over rainbows, we all know this is not going to happen. If i feel that myself or someone else is being disrespected, i'm gonna speak up every time. I dont tolerate it from anybody. I had a situation just a couple nights ago with a rude and disrespectful chatter. It's not fair to the rest of us who are behaving like civilized human beings to have to tolerate such stupidity. Puting that person ignore would the issue once and for all.

So the people that cause me to stumble, i should just stay around them in the name of 'loving' people? If you read the previous posts, you see that what you said is essentially the same as rus_lady.. and how well did that go?
