One of my ignored stalkers, who knows it yet still replies to many of my posts. Why a block is better.  

Yes. My 2 stalkers did it. Should be total block.

   You could ask him to stop replying to you ?

   Maybe it would be a good  idea not to announce it in future ?

Telling them and the whole forum that "I AM PUTTING YOU ON IGNORE " , might encourage them to reply to you , might be an idea just to put them on ignore without publicly announcing it ?

Replying to your posts (which are public) is not stalking, even if you put someone on 'ignore'.

Say you posted something totally wrong on this here public forum, for all to see - how does pointing that out 'stalking'?

Depends on the content.

Everybody should block everybody else and put out a written copy of their ignore list so that those being ignored will know that they have retreated to their safe place and are guarding the feelings... what a crock... HAHAHA

[Lacessit]

IMO the ignore function is a double-edged sword. When I use it and inform the poster, in my mind I am thinking of them as either a blithering idiot, or a nasty piece of work. OTOH, they may be exulting in having annoyed me sufficiently.

If I put a poster on ignore without telling them, there's no satisfaction.

Nowadays, I either ignore a poster by not responding, or respond with facts which refute their delusions. There is a reason for my nom-de-plume.

Not a bad idea.

Ignore isn't good enough, unless one would never again see any of the blocked persons posts when the ignored poster has been Quoted and replied to by a third person.

 

A total block, both ways, included quotes would be needed,

Maybe impossible with todays forum software.

  Do stop going on about Trump , there are other people in the World apart from him 

True. However, there are very few people that are a clear and present danger to democracy, as he is.

He has said so himself.

Do you really want to be in a world where Trump is re-elected President? 4 years of him was enough for sensible people.

It certainly doesn't. 

Recently, I've left threads, and now leaving this one as my stalkers, who know they're ignored are no doubt replying to me. One even replies to my threads on cryptocurrency despite not owning any! 

Block function please!

   They are ONLY posts on a forum .

Some posters seem more afraid of ASEANNOW posts than Superman is afraid of Kryptonite .

It's trolling. That's what the topic is about and you are Trump trolling. Plus you are an Aussie and can't vote. Ozimoron was the worst Trump troll and also an Aussie. He disappeared.

You are entertained by a guy who stiffs contractors, boasts of grabbing women, disrespects the sacrifices of the people who defend his nation, lies like a pig in s^!t, and is currently under 91 separate indictments? Quite apart from losing a civil suit for rape.

That says a lot about your own standards.

..Too many clowns dominate the forum these days, lowering the tone and ruining many threads...

 

There is a difference between seriousness and solemnity. Nobody wants a solemn forum.

 

A life without clowns would be dull. All societies have clowns. Even wolf packs have an Omega member.

Aseannow has turned into the Bignok ,BS , GeorggiaGeorgia , show ,with stupid

posts everyday , but they do create more clicks for management so they are tolerated,

but I feel Aseannow has turned into a TikToc forum ,

Good post.

What ruins a good thread faster than anything though is the multipage bickering between repliers that devolve into ad hominem attacks.

 

When the bored and boring topics from posters you named gets monotonous I can just move on. When these are the only posters then I just skip AN entirely. Lately I've been skipping several days.

Maybe some of us simply grow past needing /wanting the content, but surely the nonsense topics and replies are a deterrent to even opening AN to start with.

If I just want background noise I turn on a radio. Nobody opens a forum page to read background

drivel.

For whatever reasons, the caliber of the AN forums is rapidly deteriorating. I just don't care enough to make an in-depth study of why it's failing. If I had a financial interest in the forum though I would sure as hell be paying more attention.

Effected by stalkers in an anonymous forum?

Don't even bother to click the ignore button, just skip their posts.

Life should not be disturbed by such mundane things and crack pots...

I now enjoy the anonymous sad & confused emojis! If I don't get a couple of them on my posts, I feel disappointed!

Just my2 cents!

Other people quote them and sometimes add to it. So the troll gets assistance. Then the topic turns into a trollfest. Topic ruined.

There is no point in joining a forum if you block everyone that you don't agree with, some posters would fall out with themselves. Maybe the answer is to have a button where you can block yourself.🥴

Great. Just keep complaing!

Trolls, are they similar to Goblins?
