Hey guys and girls,

 

Is there a way for me to exclude an entire forum from the extremely useful “New Posts” feature of this site?

(Some of you will guess what recent event makes me want to exclude a particular forum).

To be honest, until this thread, I never noticed the "New Posts" tab. And, to be honest again, because I've been accused of being unobservant in my personal life, not sure what recent event would make you want to exclude a particular forum. No need to explain. Just wanted to say this.

Fair enough :-)

 

The event is the return of Bozo.

 

I am a heavy user of the “new posts” feature, and I would like to exclude the “politics etc...” forum, since I do not consider Bozo screaming “#MAGA” at us regularly in that forum to actually constitute a new post.

I get the frustration, but for what it's worth, people like BOZO are part of life, ignoring them rarely works. In FTL, most of my neighbors are like BOZO, except they have more money, don't go to strip clubs, and don't wear clown face. ;) But by and large, he would be most welcome on any given afternoon poolside for cocktails. I find throwing facts at them usually ends conversations. Facts are a funny thing, they make the hypocrisy come out of the closet. It really is a lot of fun. Most of his base is fairly uninformed, and only know talking points recited to them from Rush and Hannity, beyond that, they're lost.

 

Put him on ignore if you must, but BOZO won't be here long. He only drops in every now and again to stir the pot. After the boys slap him around a little, he usually takes off and is gone for weeks at a time.

Lol, @bigvalboy, I couldn’t care less whether he voted for Saddam Hussein or Sleeping Beauty, I just want to be able to see when a new good escort or masseur turns up, but yesterday that got drowned in the amount of political commentary.

You are quite right, Tarte- I put the old fool on ignore long ago but yet when he crawls out of his cave there is an annoying ripple effect here.

 

Maybe he will just shrivel up and ... hmmmm... dare I say ........

You are all empowering @BOZO T CLOWN . He is very easy to ignore without putting him in the Ignore List. Plus, if you were able to not allowing him to push your bottoms, you would enjoy now and then his creativity and sense of humor. It is true, most of his posts are just boring repeated talking points, but now and then he shows he is not completely stupid and ignorant.

Take it like an exercise of tolerance, one of the precious values of democracy and liberalism. It is easy to be open minded and tolerant when everyone is like minded. People like Bozo challenge our own consequent conduct, our own ability to, despite strong disagreements, reach out and connect with the human being on the other side.

Do not forget, he is a Clown. His words are as believable as the stage promps in a circus.

You must be seeing postings from him that others are not privy to.

What about throwing them in the pool after plying them with cocktails and facts?

I rarely read the politics forum anyway. I usually read the message forum by clicking on each forum I'm interested in, looking down the list for threads that interest me, and opening the thread in a new tab. It defaults to the first unread post in the forum (I remember a post a couple weeks ago that this doesn't work that well for all users). I read through the thread, and when I'm done with everything I'm interested in that's in that forum, I click the "mark forums read" button, selecting just that forum, and I'm done with that one. Go onto the next forum and repeat, and when I'm done, sometimes I'll click "Mark all forums read" just to satisfy my OCD.

 

I wish there was a way to ignore a particular thread - there are some very popular gallery threads, for example, that don't interest me, and it'd be cool for them to NOT show up as having new posts; but hey, first world problems.

 

Doing it this way, there are some times where it's VERY hard to keep up with y'all :-) Click on "Mark all read" in the gallery, for example, go through the Spa & Deli, and by the time I'm done with them the gallery has more posts already.

I have been to a few of those pool parties and quite frankly many of those women could use some make up tips from Bozo. Otherwise, for me, Bozo is just a poster of whom I continue to ask the same question: When did America stop being great?. I have added the question, and what has been done in the last nine months to change that. Asked and unanswered innumerable times.

“Watch” the forums you like and then use “Watched Forums” page as your main page. If a forum is highlighted, it’s got new posts to check out. As long as you don’t “Watch” the Politics forum you will avoid most bozo posts.

 

You can also set email notification for new posts in a forum. That’s what I do with ‘Escort Travels’ since it only gets a few posts a day.

Thank you both, these are actually helpful methods for trimming down my new post lookup to what I am actually interested in.

 

As @poolboy48220 said, first world problem anyway.
