Thanks, Camp for creating the GBO system. I continue to be able to keep in touch with friends on several threads, as my time is limited. Happy Sunday~

The irony is that there's no need for a computer to tell you to ignore, just don't read text you don't want to read! People just need to learn to ignore. It doesn't matter anyway - other people can still read the text you ignore. It's unfortunate that people who do respect the rules, as well as respects others, but merely wants to remain untrackable to big business are the ones that get silenced by the requirements for accounts. You don't post in the politics forum, so what difference is it to you? And why are you fighting so hard for people whose sole intent is to post ad hominems and personal attacks in the politics forum? I note how you keep trying to redefine this as 'opposing viewpoints', which it is not - thus far from "indisputable facts"...

He's paranoid, so don't expect sense from him. As if not registering makes it harder for you to be tracked,

I personally think you're simply discriminating against all anonymous posters. That's not socially liberal. Of course, you can register at any time, so it's purely your choice to be discriminated against.

He's paranoid, so don't expect sense from him. As if not registering makes it harder for you to be tracked, It is harder for private individuals to track. I'm not afraid of the government which can subpoena anything, I'm afraid of BIG BUSINESS which SELL information at the highest bidder. Of course, you can register at any time, so it's purely your choice to be discriminated against. Except that once registered, one can be tracked, and the anonymity is now lost. Give up freedom for someone else's (like YOUR) "security" so you're happier? I don't bend to your personal requirements. HECK no, you do not deserve any of my freedoms.

Registering doesn't make you any easier to track, you can be tracked, registered or not.

Registering DOES make one easier to track.
IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR YOU TO TRACK ME SO YOU CAN IGNORE! THIS IS A OBVIOUS FORM OF TRACKING!
See? You're totally under water there.

There's no paranoia, it's to prevent censorship by people that make judgment calls by simply reading the name, like you and anyone who wants forced registration.
But the irony is that you are paranoid - paranoid that you might have to put up with random postings that you might have to read because they weren't blocked out by the anonymity censor.

Actually, what I don't want to put up with is meaningless garbage like the above.

Since 22 August 2018, registration is required to post in the US Politics Board. I don't care for that personally, but it has seemed to make some users there happy.
Today I added a link to the home page header for an official Proboards article on blocking annoying users. One could even add one's block list to one's profile signature in order to express one's displeasure if one cared to. Yass, one certainly could.

First of all, THANK YOU Camp Kohler for doing the 'thankless task' of starting and managing these boards. THANK YOU!
Now as to your statement ... yes, it made "some users happy".
So just who were those "users" that you made happy? Well the usual nanny state liberals who want to control everything and every one. Who want to suppress any thought that does not agree with what they want to believe.
It made no one other than them happy.
And I am sorry to say, Camp Kohler, that you were used by them to get their way.
They complained about "trolls" who posted "anonymously".
I am sure you can go back and see who those "trolls" and imposters were. It was the liberals themselves who were impersonating other people. Over and over and over. They tried to get people silenced. And when that did not work, they went to endlessly impersonating other people and flooding the boards with their .... well, you fill in whatever word you want to.
I have never said a word to you or complained to you about them before. Because I am of the mind 'live and let live'.
But when I read "it made some users happy", I could not stay silent. Because the people it "made happy" are the ones who always want to try to control and destroy everyone else. And they got part of what they wanted so they are "happy". Although in reality this type of people (who even started this topic) are always unhappy and have their shorts in a knot over some latest perceived affront to their little liberal souls and petty psyches. ROTFLOL
OK, off my soapbox.
LOL
Once again, Camp Kohler, THANK YOU for doing this "thankless task"! THANK YOU!
And God Bless!
;-)

Too bad that some users make the ignore/block list necessary. I would have hoped that in changing boards, users would make a fresh start.
(BTW, thanks for all your work in setting up and running GBO!)

And what is good for the goose is certainly good for the gander... No complaints from me - people should be able to block whomever they choose, even if it means me.

Even liberals want freedom from control by big corporations who only want to make a quick buck.
