Washington D.C. forum users be advise CPIggy works just great in that forum as well.

I've only had one person on my ignore list ever. Tom Cash , unfortunately even with CPIggy, I'd have to redo it every time he gets banned and returns with a new username.

Actually Simplex, thinking about this feature, I wonder if the trolls who will be ignored won't just change usernames so they can do their attention-whoring again. I think this might work for a while, but maybe it would flood us with usernames too. I don't know if that's a problem for the programming, but if people started doing that, then it might make using the site more confusing. But maybe that wouldn't happen.

As far as the liberal/conservative list, I hope that doesn't detract from the traffic over there. I guess I think ignoring the views of people on the other side of the political spectrum from you is a big problem with the state of our country right now in general.

I don't think it's a written policy, but I'm pretty sure that I've heard at least some of the mods mention that deceptive multiple accounts is grounds for banning. I don't think it would last long.

They say that, but I'm not sure how well they'd enforce it. (e.g., see - ahem, shut your mouth - 's multiple posts in DC now after he has been banned several times for proof of discretionary enforcement).

Also I'm not really talking about cases where someone would be posting with 2 accounts simultaneously, but rather that they abandon the old account for the new one. I don't know if that violates the policy or not.

I was actually joking about subscribe lists. I think that's a horrible idea. I really did just want this so that people could eliminate the few posters that they feel just make it miserable to be here.

Banyon no iggy is going to be perfect, this is a huge improvement, it is a slight pain to reregister so I have my doubts we will see a lot of that.

I am pretty sure Simplex would never create the classification iggies if it could even be done.

I certainly could be done, but it certainly won't be done by me. I'm not going to start pigeon-holing people. It's not my problem.

Right now I'm working on a new config window and an alert system so that CPIggy can tell you when a new version comes out. Since the auto-upgrade will be "phoning home" so to speak I want it to be disabled by default. Applications shouldn't make Internet requests without the user's knowledge.

Is there a way to make the edit window in Mozilla work like the one in IE where if you run the cursor over a word and select say bold the word will be bolded? The edit window is the only thing I don't like about Mozilla.

There are controls that do that. That's something that would be MUCH easier done on by the technology team on the server side. To do that through a Greasemonkey script would be tough. I'll look around and see if I can find anything, though.

Thats not necessary, I thought maybe I had just not found a simple setting. I am suprised Mozilla is so archaic in this regard.

No I think it's great for a lot of people. I'm just explaining why I probably wont utilize it.
