Can There Be A Setting

To be completely honest, I would have no idea what was going on in the world without seeing it on this site. With the amount of hours that I work (currently pushing about 75 a week), I really don't go out of my way to read up on current events. Sure I have to sift through the ***-waving to get it, but I actually find it useful at times.

Easy fix op.

Does that mean we could filter XI threads ?
:D

Not coming to the site at all is a 100% guarantee to not see the threads posted on the site!

EDIT: To add that you complain that even the titles are worded in a way to pull someone in while your own title is worded like so: "Can there be a setting". Are you certain, 100%, you are not the issue here?

you have under 500 posts on the forums. are you saying that the people who have come here everyday for years and racked up thousands and tens of thousands posts should be shooed off because you can't handle thread titles? no offense, but this is a community site, not every post will pertain to ffxi. if the forums were restricted to nothing but ffxi, and people couldn't post about politics, other games, movies, and cats/anime/boobs/food/picsthatmakeyoulolololol, this site wouldn't be here anymore. you should be appreciative of those no lifers that argue night and day generating revenue for the site via their "date an asian" ads.

Is this thread reverse trollism? seriously, is it? :3

Maybe the P&R threads shouldn't be mained. I mean if you want to go find them then go for it but for people who don't care to see the constant assault on conservatives then they shouldn't have to deal with it to look up something on the AH.

That might almost stop some people from clicking ads even!

I like qiqirns.

That is all.

I want a setting, instant BACON button, can we get that for the site plz?

I'm sure that if there was an option to remove threads from the front page, there would be no threads up at all.

If there was an option to remove a specific forum from the front page for you and only you, then what's the big deal?

Well if an option is made to disable all of the offensive threads from the front page then it should be default to on so that new comers dont get scared off by that place.

if a thread is made to bait people, I would hope you would be intelligent enough to not allow yourself to be baited or to even bother commenting on it.

Its called Self Control, IE the self control not to order everything at McDonalds and then blame McDonalds for being fat.

I'd love this option TBH, (Block servers you're not on, political/random section, FFXIV, etc.)

Everyone in this thread who is bashing on the OP, take a look at your FFXI character, or for you permanent trolls, just keep on trolling. You have a blacklist, if you are bashing the OP and have even 1 person on it, you're a hypocrite. All the OP is asking for is a setting to prevent... aka BLACKLIST topics they consider to be trash. How is that unfair or unrealistic to expect the option to be able to say "I don't want to see any threads in this sub-forum"?

I couldn't care less about lolBLU on FFXI so not seeing any posts from the lolBLU thread would make my day better. When I refresh the forum tab, I want to see what interests me, not everything.

Oh and before anyone comments about other sites, you have user preferences on most sites, email lists, and blogs to check off what interests you and they tailor your visit/spam to that.

lawl.

You really only see what you want to see, as there isn't a liberal bias on this site.

seconded.

but seriously, this overall idea has been talked about before.

well instead of the + button, replace it with bacon and the site sends you strips of bacon bases on how many ppl clicked on the bacon XD

Free bacon?

*** yeah!

Thou shalt not touch on a nerve lest ye be ridiculed by the masses til the end of thine FFXIAH days.

Seriously though, this is a good suggestion. I think the bad reaction comes from people who WANT to shove their views in your face. Political discussions might be important but i'm one of the people who think gaming and politics do not mix.

I'm willing to bet most people have linkshells in-game who say the same thing every time someone tries to manhandle the chat log with their shock-value political propaganda.

Apparently its a big thing on these forums. Allow some user control options and everyone wins. Unless it somehow problemous from a coding perspective.

The Op threw a fit in another thread so hard that he felt the need to start a thread of his very own to continue to throw an extension of that fit...

It's one thing to sincerely ask the forum admins for a possible addition and its another thing to cry across the forum about something that can be easily ignored... so yeah...

No.
