stop polluting people's pointless spam threads

@ben_lubar I set borderlands rpg to ignore. Why are these still in my unread?
-
@Magus this is in a subforum.
-
@ben_lubar So blocking the parent should block it. Unless this feature was designed by someone with no contact with reality.

No it shouldn't. Does having your parents go to college give you a diploma?

Yes it should. Does deleting a folder delete subfolders?
Seriously, the stupid is rubbing off on you. You need to run. Fast.

Does deleting a label in my email client delete anything other than that label?

@ben_lubar We're talking about a tree structure. If we weren't you might almost begin to have a point. You are not becoming more correct by posting more. Fix the bug and stop polluting people's pointless spam threads.
-
I'm not sure how I can make it more obvious that you're watching that category. Maybe I could attach some flashing lights?
-
Am I invading this pointless spam thread?

@ben_lubar
Ben,
The argument is that if you are ignoring the parent category any newly created sub-category should be set to ignore too. I had the same issue with the new category. It took me two threads to conclude I needed to go to the categories page enter two new categories and set them to ignore manually. This took more time on mobile then posting this.

Maybe you could read what my problem is and think a bit, instead of making up some stupid comment. Look around, no one else seems to have any trouble getting my point.

@ben_lubar That was quick, good work

My method of operation: argue against a change while secretly working on the change during the argument.
-
@ben_lubar I think it would also be useful if when I look into the topic list from a parent category to show threads from all its subcategories too
-
@ben_lubar So, I am ignoring the Mafia category
and still get updates about "Mafia IX - The Club of Ded"
How do you explain that?
Filed Under: You can't explain that, science!
Also Filed Under: Can I call this a bug?

@ben_lubar true, it's recent....
Why does "ignoring" only work on "unread"?Filed Under: Not trying to be a blakeyrat here... but that's stupid

Maybe we need a "This thread doesn't exist. Don't show it anywhere, don't tell me anything happened in it, I don't want to hear about it ever again unless I explicitly visit it (through link or manual typing)!" option?

@Tsaukpaetra
To be perfectly fair here, I ignored a category and it shows up in my default view. The one I get when I click the -image at the topic... I don't really need a "this one topic needs to disappear forever"-option, but I don't understand why igoring a category would only hide that category in a random view of the forum... if that makes sense.Filed Under: It's just weird, you know
-

I think the ignore functionality was specifically made when we came on in response to outcries of woe about notifications and /unread. It's easy to assume that nobody stopped to think if it should apply elsewhere.

notifications
Category ignoring doesn't do anything to notifications.

it didn't do anything on discourse either, you could ne mentioned summoned to a thread in an ignored category.
also while ignored categories disappeared from /recent and /unread muted(ignored) threads only disappeared from unread, leaving them visible in /recet still... a vexing situation that i would hae prefered being reversed

you made ignored topics vanish from /recent? because if so i will personally drive to wherever it is that you live and hand deliver to you the biggest cake i can make.
only slightly exaggerated.

Decorated with a slightly misshapen cat?
-
@HardwareGeek yes. the cat shall be depicted dancing with a nine tailed fox.... and a whole pantheon of othe animals as well.
we're talking about a cake the size of a medium sized office building here.

@accalia You take your cake very seriously, don't you?

oh yes.
a cake must properrly represent one's feelings in the matter.

If NodeBB's search didn't suck, I'd link to all the times I said that in almost the exact same words.

Ruby? You should know only diamonds are a girls best friend!

@Luhmann Diamonds don't have enough colors. Really neither do rubies. For @aliceif what we need is something unusual, like paua or opal or something.
-
I like that threads I'm ignoring show up in recent, because I use unread as my primary view, and I like having a way to go back to a thread I ignored if I change my mind. Otherwise I have to find it in the category structure and that sucks.

now that i remembered that i can set my own home screen (it's under settings in the avatar menu) i'm officially "meh" on ignored topics showing up in /unread

I certainly never want to see them there, though.
Also: Was it you that did that to those shoes?

Now that ignoring/watching categories is recursive, we'll have to repurpose this thread so it doesn't go to waste.
