Apparently less offensive! I'm not sure how I've picked up a single stifle, I only ever post Pendraken-y stuff really, so can't see how that would be offensive to anyone?! :(

I find just saying something like ' I am a communist' is a good way of seeing your stifle count leap up.
What's a stifle ?
I thought it was part of a horse's leg....I'll have to go and have a look and then edit this post.
Sorry....I missed the bit about it being something to do with PMT...I'll look later.
Cheers - Phil.
Maybe we could run a competition each person posts a comment on TMP and see how many stifles they can collect until their message disappears of the front screen on TMP 1 point for each stifle 10 points for being put in the Dog House

For a long period I had none, then when I got one I posted wondering why and asking members what was the motivation behind stifling. That instantly upped me into double figures, from which lofty height I have now declined to the die hard five!

I'm not sure how many stifles I had - if anyone's still on PMT, have a look at Nick the Lemming there and see if it tells you how many stifles.
Was your locked account over the Stafford Games / Nazi affair too, Derek?

Not Stafford Games. For taking the mickey out of Flames of War (and its fanboys) too much.
At least that was the excuse, I think it was really for pissing Bill off over a long period of time. It's not difficult :D

Leon, a stifle is just a filter, meaning that someones isn't interested in your posts. It could just mean it's a '28mm only' type of guy.
Ofcourse, people doing that will never know what good stuff they'll miss!

I didn't realise I'd even posted that much! Mind you, having got into a few arguements a few years back I'm surprised I haven't more stifles. Perhaps it was more laid back then? I usually just look and chuckle these days.

That's why I love this forum !!
Yep....Folk can agree to disagree on odd occasions .
But there are good 'debates'....Not nasty, vicious slanging matches.

In Morse Code that reads "agonising piles". :D
I am so disappointed. I haven't got any.
I really must try harder to let those in the colonies know what I think of them.
Perhaps I should put in the first letter of each word....and then let folk have a guess, until 'deletion time' because it's not something that belongs on our lovely forum.
Cheers - Phil.

See, that'd tempt me to go and play with the Censor list! There's a list of words in the Forum admin, and another column for what should appear instead. So, I can make 'GW' appear as 'The Hobby', or 'horse' appear as 'hamburger' instead...
:D

I've gained 4 since starting this thread. Not sure how my comment about War Crimes by US forces is going down - wonder how many fail to see the point I'm making about political comments on the site.
I got my two stifles immediately after writing this to support TimeCast when they were being pirated on eBay:
"When you buy a copy of something, you are not buying the intellectual copyright. Buying a book or model (for example) allows you to sell on the copy for whatever someone is willing to pay. It does not allow you to make your own copies of the copy other than for your own private use. There is no grey area."

This is TMP- what has getting into an argument got to do with upsetting people? People get stifled for liking the Too Fat Lardies.
Bored and can't sleep so trying to up my stifle count. Made 2 in the last 5 mins.

Yes, you're up on the TMP Most Stifled Table, Last Hussar! Joint 80th. With nearly 36,000 members, even the number one most stifled at 478 isn't so high.

I don't even know how to stifle someone on PMT..
But as I only visit it once in a blue moon, that's probably not surprising.

I tried that with the ex-wife. Not a good idea.
But what is a stifle....apart from a bit of a horse ?
If you (one) say (s) something on PMT that certain folk find 'iffy'....Do they try and 'stifle' your comment ?......Is that the idea ?
I ask purely for information. :)

Yes that's it, if you stifle someone you will not see any of their comments, so the PMT equivalent of X_X
Its just a "mute" button really; once they stifle you they can't read any of your posts. However the reason its a big issue is that the amount of these stifles you accumulate is displayed in your profile. Why an individual's private decision to ignore you appears on your public profile I don't know, other than to suggest that someone with lots of them is disagreeable.
It leads to silliness such as competing to accumulate the most stifles, stifling of anyone who brings up the topic of stifles, stifling of newly joined members, creating profiles just to stifle people (though I think that is against the rules as is eliminated where found). The whole thing is a big distraction.
I found recently that after not having posted for a while I put up a link to the story about wargames figures appearing on the Antiques Roadshow. I got two stifles as a reward. It doesn't encourage posting does it?

Thanks Clib....I
think I understand.....Perhaps ! :-\
But I can't see the point of that at all.
I'm probably missing something....Unless it's supposed to be a 'personal insult' back at the original poster that's been 'stifled' ? :-\
"I don't want to know
your opinions....You're a big poo !".....Is that it ?
Seems odd to an old f*rt like yours truly.
Cheers - Phil
Yep, that's pretty much it.
TMP is becoming a place where you can spend as much time reading about the latest shenanigans of the membership as about wargaming. Its still the biggest and most useful single site on the web, but I could do without the infighting that goes on.
Thanks Clib !
Cheers - Phil.
This is all new to me ;D just checked mine and only got one...yes I know guys I must try harder hohoho, but in my defense I hardly ever post and get few replies so i'm doing quite well :D. I honestly find that place a joke full of saddos, so try to avoid it if I can, but i'll make it a personal challenge to upset more :d
Have a great weekend, All the best
Sean
Let me just try and get my head around this.
Let's say...for example...I posted something that Sean above (using him as an example)..took exception to, and he decided that he didn't want to read any more of my waffling.
But then if I posted something new.....Which Sean wouldn't see..(have I got this right ?) ......and someone replied...Sean would only see the reply..Which surely wouldn't make any sense. ?
I'm completely lost ! (no change there then) ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil.
I always reckoned it was the Cubans that annoyed them the most..Oh and apparently the German Chancellor
;D ;D ;D ;D i'll second that Phil I must be getting older 8). As the site goes I may have been overly critical it does have some good stuff on it, with some great posts as here. the only difference I have noticed is a little cyber bullying creeping in, which I find hard to stomach as I do with any form of bullying. I much prefer here :D all the best

Yep, that's pretty much it. And anyone can click on any other member to see how many Stifles they've got, ie how many people don't want to read that persons posts.
To make it fairer, every profile should also show how many people that person has stifled themselves, so that you can see who the easily offended are... :D
yeah there does seem to be a trend in cyber bullying now you mention it. One guy, Tango01 on there gets loads of stick just because he posts random bits of gaming related stuff that has sometimes been posted before, even so you end up missing it in the first place they still bully him like mad.
Its not cricket. Just recently I got put in the same category as a car thief because someone else suggested a guy do a scan his friends OOP spacehulk tiles so he could have a game for nostalgias sake (I just agreed!) I am surprised that I didn't pick up a few stifles in the process!
I wouldn't mind if i had been on top insulting form, but it wasn't. No surprise that they were yanks who waded in with the moralising. (not that I have owt against anyone from the US, my gran was north american)
Mind you, it wasn't too long ago right here, I made a throw away comment about the game "maurice" sounding like a gay 70's hairdresser rather than a name that would inspire a wargame, but that seemed to go down badly, leading one to accuse me of homophobia or closet tendancies or some other crap. Mind you, thats internet forums of any kind, you'll never please everyone that reads what you write. (I still think maurice is an awful name for a game... :o)
While i do enjoy a good web trolling sesh occasionally as I did in my early web youth, I try to turn the other cheek now since ultimately its a pointless task. (a bit like listening too much to the wife... ;))

That seems to have
some sort of logic....I think I'm beginning to understand now.
And I'd agree with your second point as well Leon. :)
Cheers - Phil
Perhaps the stifler should give a reason for it so the recipient has some idea how they have caused offence and can therefore amend their behaviour if they so wish.
Not that I'm ever going to frequent that den of iniquity ever again though!
You don't need to cause offence to be stifled.
It might just be that you state a preference for or against something like 10mm or 28mm or Games Workshop or Napoleon.
You could see the stifle button as some forum members' lazy attempt at limiting the amount they feel compelled to read.
For example, that last remark would get me stifled.
Very true which makes it even more important that a reason needs to be given

Some people have extremely strong views on copyright, in both directions. Some think making a copy of an out-of-print game is comparable to car theft. Others say copyright should be abolished, and there are plenty of people with less extreme, but still very strongly held, opinions. I've found sensible discussion of the topic via internet forums to be virtually impossible :-(

I got very confused when I first started seeing forum topics about Maurice, because I thought Maurice was a player's name ;-)
I'm not a fan of TMP. The software they use leaves a very great deal to be desired, in my opinion. I advertise there, but I've only posted twice. The belligerent attitude of some posters really puts me off. All told, I much prefer this forum and the SOTCW forum (http://sotcw.punbb-hosting.com/).

Especially as it looks as if TMP's posting stats have got a bug of some sort - the system thinks I've made 36 posts over the last 11 years and earlier in this thread (a couple of months ago?) it was 368!

I've never understood how I've picked up 3 stifles, I really only ever post when it's in reply to a Pendraken related query.

I'm keeping out of all that. I can't see how hiring staff can cause so much arguing, but I do wonder if a European based wargamer would have been a good addition to his team. Someone with a bit of free time who doesn't want a massive wage, retired maybe, with a basic knowledge of web code, who could then have gone to some of the shows and offered pics and reports, as well as the day-to-day admin and editing of the site.
Sounds like my dream job Leon, sadly I don't see anyone paying me to do it any time soon :(
