  [SIZE="1"]For dealing with those pesky users, since 1882![/SIZE][/FONT]
  =====

  
  
  It's been a long day of school, gaming, work, (or whatever you do in your daily lives), and finally you have a few moments to wind down and relax after all you have done. Accessing your web browser, your homepage opens to MabiNation, and you begin to browse. A particular thread tickles your fancy, so naturally you open it and begin to read. After a few moments, however, your eye catches this:

  Another post by annoyingshadows. It's clear that he instigates drama with his personality, and he always finds a way to irritate you. His other posts on the thread hold no relavance to the topic at hand, and the percieved idiocy he has dished out on this thread serves as the catalyst to all of your pent up anger and rage! So, what do you do? Naturally, you write a flaming reply and hope that shuts him up... but it doesn't! [S][SIZE="1"]It only gets you in trouble.[/SIZE][/S]
  
  So what do you do? Being the reasonable user you are, you scroll to the top of the page and click settings.

  At your disposal before you are various tools and buttons— some which will do absolutely nothing to solve the situation— and one that will solve the problem once and for all... Located on the left, under My Account, you find at the bottom of the section...

  The Ignore List function. This beautiful button allows you to take the dreaded annoyingshadows, and type his name into what can only be described as... [SIZE="1"]erm...[/SIZE] A box!

  All that's left is clicking Okay to send him and his posts back to their creator— and once the simple deed is done, you are done. It was so easy, in fact, you decided to try it out on a few others as well!

  Left in the peace of the evening, you drift into a relaxing slumber... and once you awake, you scroll through the pages of MabiNation, as you usually do. Another reply was added to that one thread from the day before, and when you click it, you are delighted to find that the pesky annoyingshadows and his fallacy-filled, fracas-fathering posts are nowhere to be seen. All that remains is a marking of what would have been...

  Staring at the shield, however, sadism flares within you. Instead of just hiding the posts, why not kill all of annoyshadows' posts? Returning to your settings, you quickly return to the My Account section and click on General Settings.

  After abusing the hell out of your mouse's scroll wheel, you finally find the option. Glowing and heavenly, you see that right below your current setting lays the Advanced option of the Ignore Mode settings. This beautiful button entirely destroys annoyingshadows' posts; as if that annoying pest never existed... [SIZE="1"][S]*evil cackle*[/S][/SIZE]

  After making that decision, however, you realize that your mind is finally cleared of the morning haze, and you start to reflect on the day before. You decide that maybe some of the other users you tried Ignore-Listing didn't deserve the virtual cold-shoulder. Going back to the Ignore List tab, you uncheck the box next to Osayidan's username and click Save Changes.

  Osayidan isn't blocked, annoyingshadows is, and the Nation is once more at peace...

  Fun to read!
  
  Also very useful. People should definitely take a look. Especially if there's someone that grinds their gears and they really can't help themselves around it.
