Block Feature Upgrade?

Minotaur

I hope this is possible. I have a suggestion on blocking. I'm not talking about the boring traditional blocking whereupon one is only taking someone's post out of view because, well, one does not trust their own adult ability to avoid a poster. I'm thinking more like a personal stealth mode block where I block me. For instance lets say I decide I am going to block myself from you. I set the block and am now invisible to you and can go into your post and only good posters can see what I type. The person I blocked myself from is not in on the joke, or insult, or brilliant counter and has no ability to answer with gibberish - not that I'd insult. Any thoughts? That is a block I would actually use.

The first one I'd use to test it on is BO and SW. Maybe Phil or anyone who answers this post!

That reminds me a bit of Facebook.. Min..
Another one of their options is setting ones' comments to be only visible to a selected audience../friends

Dammit! I thought I invented it. There goes my vision of royalty checks!

I don't understand the hate for traditional ignore.

It's one of the great features if you ask me.

There are some people on this board that I love not being reminded they even exist.

Meh...to each his own.

I don't mind the block feature. I don't use it just because I don't have an interest in it but that is me. I'm just trying to come up with something I would actually use. Seems to me Stealth is the way to go.

doesnt work for me. limits the chances of encouraging loons to make even more hilarious examples of themselves
 
The ignore button only works because you can not argue one way. Puts a stop to the back and forth insults.

Thankfully we actually don't have to worry about becoming invisible although I do think in real life if we could do this as it would be fun at a party. ;)

As long as we're writing a wish list...along with Min's request for a block feature, I'd like to be granted a "shock" feature. When I unilaterally determine that another poster of my choosing deserves it I will deliver an electric shock through his keyboard/mouse, thereby gradually modifying his/her objectionable behavior. These shocks will be of increasing intensity as undesirable behaviors are repeated, or according to severity of poster trespass (again, according to my judgment). At such time when a repeat subject demonstrates resistance to behavior modification over a regimen of six shocks, I will be requesting a sponge and bucket of water. Please have these ready as well.

Thank you.

Could you simply rub your keyboard to create an electric shock? That might work. I am not sure about the back lash though.

My Son rubbed the Lab's head real hard last week,then both were shocked. He jumped,the dog took off!:)

Reminds me, a friends Lab ate 2 lbs, of carpet string last week ruining 3 rooms. The Vet took 2 lbs of string out of the dogs stomach.

My daughters kitten (about a year old) ate the same thing last week! Major surgery and $600 later, that string had gone through her ENTIRE intestines and into her colon! But she's doing fine now :) Dumb cat!!
