@Tasuki Thanks. I don't really wanna go to NL. That always ends up badly for some reason.

@Tasuki That's just part of natural conversation, and that usually dies off after two or three comments anyway. I just think it creates this threatening/intimidating(?) atmosphere where you're not sure what you're allowed to say or not, and before you know your comment is deleted. I know I've avoided posting here in the past because of that, and I don't want that to be the case. But that's just my opinion.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah I don't blame you. I pop in there every once in awhile but let's be honest the community just turned into trash the last few years it's not like it once was.

@Octane It's on thing if it goes on for a post or two but that wasn't the case. I have been watching it since last night and it turned into a job/Financial thread. Basically it's common sense if you see the thread after a few posts is going off the tracks, then maybe it's time to take it to the chit chat thread. Just saying.

@KratosMD lol, don't blame it on me. We were just talking about the online sub, and how to finance it I guess. I don't see why threads need to be locked because of an off-topic post either, that's not on me...
@KratosMD Sorry didn't meant to upset you or @Fight_Teza_Fight. I was just in the middle of doing something else and didn't want to have to clean up even more cause people couldn't take a hint so I temp closed it so I could clean it up in when I got a second.

Well then feel free to head over and derail threads over there. I can't let one person derail threads on one thread and then scolded others in another it's just not right. You might not see it as a big problem but alot of users have expressed that it happens too much here in the comment sections and threads as well, thus why the chit chat thread was created. That's a thread you can derail all you want till your heartts content.
Thank you for understanding.
Even if a lot of users have expressed that, I'd like to express the exact opposite opinion. Scolding people and closing threads too quickly just makes this place feel imtinidating. Off-topic talk happens naturally in a good conversation, there's nothing wrong with it as long as it isn't spam or falling foul of the other site rules.
@AntDickens Can we get an option to turn off ignoring users? It looked like the lack of a "are you sure" pop-up was fixed on my phone from a while back, but I just looked at the ignore list and it had a healthy list of people on it accidentally. So it seems it still really easy to ignore users without knowing and maybe the pop-up isn't showing on my phone anymore (iPhone X). Or at least can we get the pop-up to work?
@antdickens I just got the pop-up, I figured it wasn’t working.... How did I get like 8 people on my block list then? because I haven’t even seen the pop-up in a while. I cleared out the list last time I mentioned it and saw it working before this.
Having a bit of a problem with ad pop-ups. The kind that you can't close that say "your phone is infected with x number of viruses (P.S. click on this link to get an actual virus!) I don't have ad-blocker (it's android anyway) and wouldn't use one because I want to support the site, but it has become rather intrusive. Do you have any control over the type of ads that appear?
@mookysam@Kidfried there shouldn’t be any ads of that kind on our sites. If there are, it’ll be a bad provider that needs to be blocked, or because of malware on your device.
To help us check it’s not the former, please email screenshots to [email protected] and we’ll get them blocked ASAP.
@mookysam I was about to say the same thing. On my phone on my both Push Square and NintendoLife, just starting this evening, I got lots of ad pop ups. Chrome tends to block the pop ups, but they just kept on coming and kept on disturbing my place on the page, making reading the article and comments nearly impossible. I thought it might just be me, but if you've also just started experiencing something similar then maybe it's not?
@Kidfried@BranJ0 cool, sounds like a dodgy ad provider.. I'll report it, although without further info it will be difficult for them to track down email it over when it happens. Thanks!
@antdickens It's the same for me as @BranJ0, they disturb my place on the page and like @kidfried it only happens on pages with ads. Chrome is blocking a lot of pop ups, but some are still getting through and oddly it also seems occur when I click on the reply box - including just now on this page. I have taken a screenshot so I hope that will be helpful. Will email it to the site as soon as I can.
@mookysam@Kidfried@BranJ0 I had the same issue a few months back. I reported the sites to Google and installed an anti-virus app on my phone. That seemed to work for me, but I've not noticed since I bought a new phone.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I actually just felt like randomly saying that this is my favorite forum of all time. I look forward to coming on here everyday, everyone is so friendly and respectful.
That said, I do wish there was a multiquote function.
@AdamantiumClaws If you copy and paste you can quote as many people as you want. You can also copy and paste a post and use the quote commands in the brackets.
