PackardGoose.com Forums - the Isaac ignore feature

the Isaac ignore feature

Huck_Phlem - 22-11-2008 at 20:00

Is it working for you?

I looked on there and don't see anything from him and if everyone or almost everyone ignores him then we won't even see quotes of him.

BBP - 22-11-2008 at 20:30

Oh yes! Just purrfect!

BBP - 23-11-2008 at 14:25

Isaac PMed me. I decided to read it.

He apologized and said it wasn't his intention to piss me off.

He's still on my Ignore list. I wish it was called Ignore rather than Foe. It's not like he's an enemy/a.

Huck_Phlem - 23-11-2008 at 19:37

Yea but it is nice to not even see him at all.

MTF - 23-11-2008 at 23:02

Mikey came into the chat last night. He was looking for Isaac. He said he wanted to "stick my boot up his ass" because Isaac's been abusing the Report feature. It seems that every time he sees something he doesn't like - which is most of the time - he clicks the red exclamation mark.

Mikey added that feature mostly to help get rid of SPAM, but now Isaac's using it to SPAM Mikey. Not a good idea...

I can't believe I got banned and that little twerp didn't. I also can't believe that they are deleting stuff that makes them look bad but make us suffer through all of the shit that he stirs up!

polydigm - 24-11-2008 at 06:42

I'm having a great time at zappa.com now that I can ignore Isaac. I'm sorry to hear about you being banned Jabba, do you have any idea why? It's pretty obvious why Jimmie D got banned, he didn't just post P/O stuff, he was often very abusive towards Gail and could be pretty negative some times. It is Gail's forum ultimately and abusing the owner is a bit dumb really. How long would I last here, Bonny, if I started abusing you?

BBP - 24-11-2008 at 13:34

Not long. But I'd give you warnings before I'd ban you: I did that with Zombie and Isaac.

jabba - 24-11-2008 at 17:26

Exactly, I wish they could have warned me or told me to fix it or they would fix it. Something. I truly didn't know that the pic of fz behind bars was prohibited. Anyways, I'm back on now and ignoring isaac like crazy! It's amazing how nice it makes the threads!

I've noticed that he's been abusing the report abuse feature over there. He posted an IM that Mikey sent him about it and I don't think that helped his status. He's a mess!

BBP - 24-11-2008 at 18:12

I'm SO on the lookout for that PM! Where is it?

So, Jimmie D, an actual contributor to the board, gets banned, but Mikey refuses to posts that are legitimately abusive? The hell?

Isaac

This is truly pathetic because Isaac is trying to ride on Jimmie D's back, like somehow they're actually friends, and also because he's missing the point that he probably should have been banned before Jimmie D was.

Do we know that Jimmie D didn't get any warnings? Isaac was given warnings before he was banned back in April 2006. I think Jabba's situation is ridiculous, he should have been warned about that picture. I guess it's a sore point seeing as FZ did once do some time, but I think Gail has misunderstood the intention of that picture.

I fully agree with your point about a set of forum rules, they should provide some. And if something happens like in Jabba's case that doesn't fit a specific rule you should at least be given a chance to remove an offending item. To think that Gail is just sitting there waiting to poof people out of the forum as soon as they do something she disapproves of is a bit freaky.

BBP - 24-11-2008 at 22:10

Hey! I should ask him! Maybe he was given warnings... Forum will never be the same without him...

Pappawas1975 - 24-11-2008 at 22:24

Even though some of Isaac's posts are annoying, I refuse to use the "ignore" function on any site.
I mean, I can still read his posts and still ignore him, right?

BBP - 24-11-2008 at 22:30

Yes... but on the other hand, his posts take up so much space!

Well, I'm glad I no longer have to get frustrated over him replying to me all the time, poking for a nasty reaction... Ignoring somebody is so much easier if you have custom earplugs...

aquagoat - 25-11-2008 at 06:39

wouldn't it be better to fully ignore him by stopping talking about him here ?

Badchild - 25-11-2008 at 09:50

Hiya! I think it's a shame if Jimmie D got banned from the zappa forum. The new forum is nice.
And now back to talking about issac.....

It would be! But there are always people who keep on talking to him, and it just takes one to get Isaac going again.

feetlightup - 25-11-2008 at 21:42

I've set the I-man on ignore, but I still find myself un-hiding his comments since they're often needed to understand the flow (so to speak) of the thread. Plus, if someone quotes him, you end up reading it anyway. In any case, it's a moral victory of class over ass.

MTF - 25-11-2008 at 22:58

I see Trendmonger's once again waking up from his hibernation. But I don't think I'll have to put him on IGNORE: he at least limits himself to a few threads.

Isaac's more like a firehose. He sprays hit shit all over the place...

Sad as it is to say, I've missed Trendmonger's rants. It's only when he goes completely batshit insane and starts a lot of new threads that it really starts to keep me away. But I guess it's all or nothing with him. He's been keeping cool for a while, but I have a feeling once he gets going it's hard for him to stop.

[Edited on 26-11-2008 by feetlightup]

polydigm - 27-11-2008 at 06:51

Since the new forum has started there have been many more people posting there, it's a lot harder to get through so I'm having to be a great deal more selective about which current threads I'll read and I certainly don't want to waste any time on turkeys. Having Isaac and Trendy on ignore means I don't have to exert any effort in ignoring them. Like MTF says, Isaac is just all over the place, but Trendy posts some really long posts, so just scrolling past him is a pain. Personally, the feature makes a big difference to me, I have started enjoying that forum again and I haven't felt that way in a long time.

BBP - 27-11-2008 at 10:13

Wow... I've noticed the new popularity of the forum... it's amazing! And now that not all topics are about Isaac, I even visit the Randomonium again.

Huck_Phlem - 2-12-2008 at 06:39

I am so glad I don't have to see Isaac anymore!

polydigm - 2-12-2008 at 07:46

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Isaac has been suspended for 7 days. I'm pretty sure it won't make any difference, I don't think he'll be able to help himself when he's allowed back. He needs professional help.

BBP - 2-12-2008 at 13:07

It'll work for seven days! We can finally get all the Isaac names off the Randomonium! Let's get down to it!!

BBP - 9-12-2008 at 16:42

Well... it'll come in useful again!

feetlightup - 9-12-2008 at 19:24

Is he actually denying that he got suspended? Whoa.

BBP - 9-12-2008 at 20:30

Whoa! Perhaps I'll view some of his posts: although that's not always working and I sometimes see more messages than just one if I unlock it over one mail.

Fingthish - 10-12-2008 at 09:11

I'm in a hurry at work and and the end of a short meal break this looks like a cool spot thanks to BBP for the prompt. Oh shit I should have signed in as Lao Tzu oh I guess I'll have to stick with Fingthish.

BBP - 10-12-2008 at 13:36

Of course not! Just ask and I'll change your name: though it's important to note this may mean that you'll have login problems. Ask Huck_Phlem.

On page 18 of the Haiku thread after Spacebrother mentioned that he wasn't the one who got revoked, Isaac said:

Who was revoked? I
was too busy working on
RiffTrax last week

I knew it wasn't going to make any difference, in fact he's getting worse, if that's possible.

Ah yes, that's the post I saw, thanks.

I must say I'm glad Trendy has woken up from hibernation to get his dander up about a new release like he always does. Not a popular opinion I'll bet, but it does get a little boring over there when nothing's going on.

BBP - 11-12-2008 at 15:59

It got very quiet indeed. Thing is we're now being censored there for talking about Isaac. I don't get it anymore, and I'm not sure if I want to be a part of it. It has nothing to do with the Zappa-forum I joined 6 years ago.

jabba - 11-12-2008 at 16:05

They're deleting posts about Isaac?

BBP - 11-12-2008 at 20:14

They're locking threads about Isaac.

jabba - 11-12-2008 at 20:43

Why don't they just lock him? I guess this way we know who the enemy is and we can ignore him. If they did ban him, I'm sure he'd find his way back in and it might take us months to figure it out.

The other day we ignored him in the Chat and it pissed him off! We didn't use the ignore feature, we just didn't respond or react to anything he said. There were 4 or 5 of us in there at the time. We didn't plan it, it just happened and it was hilarious!

MTF - 12-12-2008 at 10:06

I think Gail has some sympathy for Isaac, and for Trendmonger as well. I think she sees a little bit of Ahmet in them.

I may be wrong, but I have a suspicion that's why these two get a longer piece of rope than everyone else.

BBP - 12-12-2008 at 13:07

I for one have always believed in second, maybe third or fourth chances... If Isaac would re-sign in under a different name and he'd be there for months without anyone noticing, would we care?

That phrase might just be offensive to Ahmet, MTF...

Huck_Phlem - 14-12-2008 at 07:53

I just love the fact that I don't have to read anymore of his bullshit.

BBP - 14-12-2008 at 14:40

That's the spirit!

Sorry, I read it in context now! He's gone!

punknaynowned - 16-12-2008 at 06:36

It won't be long now before he returns.
Zombie isn't likely to return. Isaac? He'll be back.

Nice to see y'all
I should return soon,
happy holidays.
Stay Warm.

BBP - 16-12-2008 at 12:11

Zombie's already there under a different account. He knows how to behave, it's just that he won't. Which is more disturbing than Isaac who just doesn't know how to behave.

jabba - 16-12-2008 at 15:38

who's Zombie now?

BBP - 16-12-2008 at 18:58

I think it's LaMarr Bruister.

When people make a very, very nasty remark I just think it's Zombie. I've also suspected Milton Bradley. (Sorry for our dear members here: don't mean to offend you.) It's basically a hunch thing.

feetlightup - 18-12-2008 at 14:07

Interesting, Bonny. I'm quite familiar with LaMarr - like jimmie d, I've corresponded with him via PMs and mail trades. He may have a potty mouth, but he's definitely no scheming troll.

Huck_Phlem - 18-12-2008 at 19:30

I thought Zombie was pretty funny some of the time. after a while I started to laugh at his jibes like with JPfunk but I think JP is way cooler. I think once you understand his east coast attitude then you see what he means but Zombie really did troll a lot.

BBP - 18-12-2008 at 20:37

Well Feets, you know me: I'm the Forum Conspiracy Theorist. The forum really only has five members, and the rest is Gail and gang in various incarnations to make us believe there are a lot of Zappa fans. Or something.

polydigm - 19-12-2008 at 01:51

scallopino - 19-12-2008 at 02:31

What is the deal with Isaac? When I joined the zappa forum a few years ago he was a slightly annoying but really talented 16 year old who had a vast knowledge of films and wanted to be a film-maker. Now it seems he's not like that at all and is just a complete nut.

BBP - 30-12-2008 at 09:30

He's had some problems in personal life, the kind of stuff you don't wish upon people.

I don't know what's more disturbing, that Mikey lied about me, or that you people are celebrating my being banned based on a lie.

I was never a nuisance. I never did anything wrong, there, here, or anywhere. I did NOT attempt to "harass myself". That is completely untrue. Why would anyone do such a thing? Do you really think that I would post death threats to myself? How pathetic do you have to be to hate someone so much that when they receive death threats, you deny their validity.

My apology to BBP was sincere. I really did not mean to offend her.

I hope all of you realize how much you've wasted your lives with this crap. Frank would be embarrassed to have you as fans. When the end comes for all of you, you will likely not be going where he currently is.

I think I get what MTF means by creepy, because either Isaac is saying that we're all bad and we're not going to heaven, which means Scallop's jibe is appropriate for me 'cause I'm an atheist, or that he aims to find us all and when he's finished with us there'll be nothing left to bury in the ground.

I love it that she just said, hey, there's this new feature, send me a viddie and a hundred people did it. For sure, she gets much unwanted attention. So much that she's said she doesn't want to do it anymore. No joke.
But the following clip she seems to be acknowledging that she knows competition and even, I think that she knows she's doing well as far as 'clout-generated-from-online-viewership-responses'. Wonder if she gets paid and how all that gets worked out. She hasn't revealed anything so one can only assume she isn't really. If the company were to pay her, it seems they would want to make a fanfare of it unless they were worried how the viewership would respond to that.

I remember watching a video of a guy that did impressions in his videos. In one of them he said that he had just got his first cheque from Google. It seems they pay him for the 'google ads' that come up on the videos. Maybe you have to have a certain number of channel subscribers or something before they contact you...I don't know.

BBP - 8-1-2009 at 11:03

YOu contact them. I've seen Google Ads everywhere. They suck.

scallopino - 9-1-2009 at 06:20

They do suck but they're pretty easy to get rid of. You can just close them if they come up during a video.
