monkdiscuss footpad In [id://16107], [vroom] announced the /ignore and /unignore commands for the Chatterbox. I've used these sparing, but have noticed that these settings are not applied to private messages. Given certain activities currently going on and some encountered a couple of [discostu|months back], I propose: <OL><LI>Adding /accept and /decline commands, which give monks tools that prevent [trolls|certain users] from using private msg's as harrassment tools. When a monk sent a message to someone who's /declined them, CB would respond with a comment along the lines of Footpad declined your message. Yes, you can always clear the message without reply, but I think these commands shift the burden from the person being harrassed to the troll.</LI> <LI>In [id://40270], [vroom|The Fearless Leader] promised to add a way to view a list of people you're ignoring. Has that been done? If so, it appears that an update needs to be made to the [Chatterbox FAQ]. If it's not been done, I'd like to repeat [misty]'s suggestion.</LI> <LI>If, as I hope, my first suggestion is accepted and implemented, I'd also like a way to see who I've declined to accept messages from. My theory is based on the hope that some people will eventually choose to grow up. If #1 is implemented, I could then /decline someone while /unignoring them. If they actually are contributing to the Monastery, then I can choose to /accept messages from them again.</LI> </LI> </OL> As always, I'm hesitant to ask [vroom|TFL] to take time away from his studies, but (as [davorg] and [kudra] can attest) this is a problem that sometimes occurs. The Borg spell is a good start and has limited certain rampages. However, I think these would useful additions to our arsenal of troll-prevention devices. Also, I would be more than happy to update the [Chatterbox FAQ], especially if it would help reduce the workload on others. Thoughts? Feedback? --f
