Is there a way to ignore a topic

[Blues Dave]

I've tried different tactics but pretty much always wind up self medicating on individual posts rather than threads. There can be someone who aggravates folks because of who it is and we have a fair idea of what's coming, but as IsDurbanodoingtime indicates. someone else in the thread may say something worth responding to. Now, I simply respond to the individual poster, not the OP of the thread. Although I too have been guilty of doing that.

I believe we should just watch out asking moderators to censor stuff for us. I would rather have a bit of wiggle room if I happen to go over the line myself sometime. Because honestly I don't have absolute knoledge of what going over the line would be in someone elses eyes. Besides, we all know who we are talking about for the most part. And those poster/posters will never make that go away.

I always thought that when you foe someone you should be able to foe any thread they start. That would go a long way to fixing this place.

The one thing Facebook does right is when you block someone, they completely disappear. You don’t see anything they start, or say.

The way half of threads are titled, they’re a dead giveaway that they should be ignored. So I simply choose to ignore them.

It is really simple. If people on this board just not respond to obvious trolling ( at this point we all can recognize that) , even the trolls will get tired. They do not care about about your response they just feed off that fact they get a click/response. I am guilty of on occasion not following this rule just like anybody else. The problem with ignore is that on occasionally trolls here will offer valid contributions. It's getting sucked into insipid, repetitive threads that just has really degraded this forum. Same boring shticks generated by the same people. Anyway my two cents.

To one of your points there......Hitler made the trains run on time too.

With respect, I find the whole troll thing frustrating but frankly the equivalence you draw is really not appropriate. And I am sure in hindsight and reflection you would agree.

With respect in return, it's a point I'm trying to make using an often used historical reference of truth but I'll apologize if it offended you.

Totally agree

None of the mod accounts have responded to this topic so far

Hitler? Geez.

I'll try to help on this one. I took some psychology classes in College.

What teenagers, and other weak and immature humans, do to escape hearing opposing viewpoints is to go into the basement, and turn up their music.

Try that.

I think you lied again.
I'll bet my house that you didn't learn that in a psych class...It's what your therapist suggested to you during one of your sessions.
My guess is your therapist either quit the profession or "offed himself" because you were such a lost cause.

This forum is unreal. About 50% of the time we’re actually talking hockey, and the other 50% we’re debating trolls and the STLToday Blues Talk mods.

Can we make 2026 the year we bump hockey talk up to like 85% and keep the troll-and-mod bashing to a healthy 15%? Just a thought, eh.

Good morning Beth O'Malley

You are the problem I have

Do I understand this correctly?

Are there people that seriously think that I (ASOGG) is a BluesTalk moderator, and I post for the sake of generating clicks?

If yes, that is shockingly dumb.

Let me tell you why I post...

I'm THIS CLOSE "><" to quitting Blues Hockey forever! I'm not going to watch the NHL treat St Louis to some 3rd-rate product, while the elite players find their way to every city but ours. St Louis deserves the same sort of excitement and fun as every other NHL city.

In my lifetime, I have seen sports franchises take advantage of St Louis and then zh1t on us. It's not going to happen to me again.

I complain because I don't want to quit. That's why I complain constantly.

Genuine question

Other than just not click the bait

The best way to cleanup the board is to ignore the trolls. They disappear when they get no attention.

I posed a question to one of them asking what their true intentions were being here if it wasn’t to troll. They responded that they were formulating a response that would educate the board. That response never came as their only intention was to seek attention not to engage in real hockey talk. I stopped wasting time responding to them as they have no real intention of being here other than to disrupt real hockey discussion.
