43328, Requested Change to IGNORE command
Posted by trewyn on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Can you please make it so you cannot ignore someone you have sent a tell or reply to within the past two ticks?

I have run into countless people this run through who use ignore purely as a means to get the last word in and avoid any and all attempts at RP. It is used to avoid discussions with people who disagree with you and that circumvents conflict, which is the bread and butter of RP and character development.

It also is really bad role play to throw out an insult and then toss up ignore so they can't throw one back. (Not to mention that it is childish and shows you to be a real ####ing #### with no self esteem what so ever.) Role play is an interaction between two people assuming the roles of people they are not, meaning it requires two way communication.

These are cabal leaders and marans, so this type of RP avoiding behavior is something you guys upstairs are actually rewarding, and thus making it more and more prevalent. The simple solution is the one I provided as it removes the option of using ignore to frustrate people and returns it to the status of what it was supposed to be, a means to shut off spam from retarded kids who desperately need a #### or angermanagement treatment.

It would go a long ways on improving the emotional maturity of the playerbase, which is a gripe I am saving for when my character deletes.

Thanks!

But with a caveat that the timer is removed after a couple of tells from the other person, providing that you do not respond. Or maybe change it so that you can't put the other person to ignore if you're the one who sent the last tell.
