Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[dragoner]

I have people on ignore that I took off ignore and then put back on ignore questioning why I had decided to take them off.

It's good to re-evaluate, and even better to come to the same conclusion. On that note, I guess I'd better re-IL you

I didn't intend to take a hiatus... but uh.. somehow Enworld ended up on the blacklist at work.. And I just don't use the PC much while I'm at home so my ENworld time plummeted drastically.

I could go back and watch with the subtitles, but I kind of like the mystery.

Its all good. Just missing your youngin energy. Its gotten real curmudgeony lately

Some blacklists confuse anything that references "game" with "gambling". I determined that was the issue when I couldn't access any of my fora while on lunch working at a courthouse for a while.

Some time ago I had a boss that was annoyed people used the net at work and she blocked everything but essential sites. Since this was a retail corp. Commercial "store" sites were not blocked. So, I was on Paizo boards alot.

I have never interacted with at least three users who have me on ignore. At least two people who have me on ignore have less than 50 posts. And at least two people put me on ignore as one of their last acts on ENWorld before (voluntarily) leaving the site.



I would apologize to some of them, but that's not really how ignore lists work.

I've ended up on a few lists where I really dont get it, but I assume someone went back through the history and found a particularly cranky take, and that was enough.

I'm on one guys list right now (I'm on many, but this is the one notable one) where I really dont get it, and if I offended him, sorry.

But yeah he wont see it.

It seems like a lot of people are dodging the filter nowadays, so you never know.

I'm always so bad at spotting that stuff. I think I'm on someone's ignore list then they react or reply to a post I made. So many things it could be or reasons why. But, really...nothing I can do about it either way, so no need to bother wondering or worrying.

Yeah, the ones that have been around for a decade or more and have like 30 posts? Always gotta wonder whose sock puppet they are.

Its handy notation, but it's also kinda lying to the user about the actual variables they're adjusting. ISO in film typically relates to grain size (or chemical sensitivity), but pixel dimensions and quantum efficiency are essentially fixed on a digital camera. What you're really adjusting is (hopefully) a sensor gain or readout setting, or (hopefully not) just some software adjustment to dynamic range or a mystery combination of things. Likewise, while some digital cameras do have a physical aperture, what a lot of cell phone cameras call an f stop adjustment is actually a post-process bokeh effect.

Anyway, my bigger point is that I think the hypothetical guy you were talking about would be more likely to acknowledge that his knowledge was out of date if current UI was a bit more honest about what it's doing under the hood. YMMV.

Regardless of what's behind the curtain, it's the same in practical terms. Ever shot ISO 400 B&W film? That stuff was graaaaainy. We're lucky to have cameras with usable ISO 1200.

Cell phone cameras are a different beast and fine, when you don't have anything else, but they just can't do what an actual dedicated camera can. They might be able to simulate some of it, but that's just not the same.

I probably shouldn't mention this, but I figured out a great way to bypass the filters and figure out who has me on Ignore. I find a thread where there's obviously some Ignoring going on. Then, I use my chronoencabulator to rewind time back, a week at a time, until I can see the missing comments. Tells me who has me on Ignore, and I can usually figure out why they did it.

I haven't figured out what to do with this information, yet, though. I may need a cerebroencabulator to figure it out...
