How do I Ignore a single post
-
I don't want to ignore an entire topic, but I want to ignore individual threads in it. How do I do that?
-
As you scroll near one of those posts, shut your eyes for a a few seconds.

I should add: or at the very least soft-ignore a thread. It should show up if I'm browsing through the category, but I don't want it in my notifications or /unread.

@Lorne-Kates You can't.
It's my second-biggest open bug against this dumb forum right now.
People keep posting in my stupid ask me anything thread, which I disowned like 5 months ago, but I can't re-block it.
-
In certain cases I think it would make sense to make a subcategory to move them to so that people could ignore it.
Likes, for instance. And put the official downvote thread in it too.

Actually, someone necroed it with a legitimate question, and a handful more have been posted as well. I've been debating whether I should tell them that you're doing your best to ignore it.
-
@blakeyrat why don't you have the topic closed by a mod then?
oh wait, probably because you've alienated everyone with the power to close it, to the point that they'll now leave it open just to spite you.

It doesn't matter how "legitimate" the question is, I muted the thread ages ago.

Because I don't care if other people talk in it. The problem is: now that "mute" doesn't exist, I have to see it.

@blakeyrat I was operating under the assumption that you're stubbornly refusing to go see what had been posted. And while you can go right ahead with doing that if you want, I thought you might also like to know that people are legitimately asking questions that they wanted you to answer (and not just to troll you, apparently). If you didn't like to know that, or if you've already seen them and just don't give a fuck... well then go right ahead and don't.

Yeah, well, the least you could do is edit the title to make it clear that you are NOT, in fact, willing to answer people's questions anymore.

I am.

I don't care.

The least I can do is nothing, which is also what I happen to be doing.
-
@blakeyrat yet here you are wasting time arguing about it. You could have edited the title in the time it took you to post that.
-

Pretty sure I can't. Not sure why you think I can.
In any case, the only thing I want to do to that thread is ignore it.

I'd ask you why, but that's more of a question for your "Ask me anything" thread.

Pretty sure you can.

- it's not in The Lounge
- you're the thread's owner, and I'm pretty sure that means you can still edit it

ERROR
You are only allowed to edit posts for 604800 second(s) after postingThere, you made me try it.
Of course NodeBB doesn't grey-out the edit button, why would it do that? But I can't save the edit.

NodeBB is differently disconsistent.

Who's forcing you to click on it in the unread list?

@FrostCat If he's anything like me, OCD.

AnotherUserName. He wanted me to change the title.
Until that I hadn't clicked on it. I'm just annoyed that I have to keep marking it as read, since I can't just permanently ignore it.

Yeah, a mute topic would be nice.
Hey, you know what would work really well and get the devs highly motivated to code such a thing? If you asked politely
yell at them incessantly about how stupid and incompetent they are and then demand they write such a feature for you.

@fbmac If YOU did it I would print out a copy, then piss all over it.

An important step towards recreating Discourse in NodeBB.

Still better than Discourse.

i can't recall seeing an fbmac post that wasn't deleted....

@darkmatter There's plenty in the current Mafia game, but only because deleting isn't allowed
