    Forum Etiquette

    For those of you who are new to using internet forums, or if you could use a refresher, we would like to provide a link to an informative and readable article about internet forum etiquette. When you are only using the written word to express yourself, things don't always come across the way you intend them to. This quide will help you understand and express yourself better on MWO.

      Hi.
      should Damo180 be calling Someone an "asshole" publicly..the result is this person isn't coming back?
      I thought this was supposed to be a safe and supportive place?

            Is everyone familiar with how the "Ignore" feature works? I would like to suggest that people use that feature with posters they don't like or agree with, rather than start "board wars" that end up needlessly upsetting many forum members. Rather than stalking posters you don't like all over the forum, and challenging them in a WAY off topic manner, why not just put that poster on Ignore? That way you never have to read and subsequently be bothered by anything they say. That way the entire forum does not have to endure the bickering and general upset.

            Click on the user name in question. When their profile info comes up, look at the blue bar across the top. There is an option to "add this person to your ignore list."

            I realize this might take all the fun out of it for people who are determined to FIGHT and WIN. And somehow enjoy the drama of the upset. Hopefully we are all trying to grow and mature beyond the need to do that sort of thing.

            If you think a post violates the terms of service here at MWO, report it to the moderator by clicking the triangle button in the upper right corner of the post. And/or send a private message to the poster and settle your differences off the forum.

            Just wanted to point out that we have options beyond stalking, jabbing, attacking, and fighting.

            FWIW..

                  Doggygirl,

                  Thank you for the information. Will you cut and paste this over in the area I usually hang as some folks just stay there, don't really check other sites, and may miss this valuable post.

                      Doggygirl,
                      I've been going through old threads and I happened upon this one. Thanks for the info about ignoring a poster. I'm on the meds section and we had some unrest a couple of weeks ago. The next time it happens I'll repost your post.
                      Thanks,
