For those that do not know, you can enable this option by going to that specific users profile and going to the "options" tab I believe and click ignore. They will not be notified/ know that you ignored them.
 
Suggestion on that Zachary, if you can put it on the post somewhere right next to their profile info that would be great. Though the likely hood of hitting it by accident, or when someone pisses you off the first time :), goes up doing that.
 
For those that are curious, when you ignore someone, this is what their post looks like. (On the new theme)

Sorry morte615, you were the first user I saw when I decided to show it. :p
 
Would it be possible to put some sort of restrictions on a user's ability to give rep? I've seen a lot of users join just to give other users a +rep, which makes the system even worse than it already is. I'm sure most of the time it's the same person with a duplicate account used to boost their rep, which is actually kind of pathetic.

So, would it be possible to have rep enabled only after 10, 15, 20, or maybe only allow a user to add to someone else's rep after they have been given a rep? What do you guys think?

It really kills the whole point of the system when people take advantage of it.
 
I haven't noticed any alleged instances of this, but if a user really stoops to creating multiple accounts to boost their own rep, I don't think they're likely to be a quality user on this site, and thus other users will likely not give them much rep, which would make it kind of a moot point.

The bigger issue is that something should be done about people who write run-on sentences... ;-D

While I haven't noticed what you're referring to I definitely see where that could be a problem I think the mods need to really crack down on letting the mechanics of user's post slide it really detracts from being able to understand a point and it makes the site look bad in general it looks really sloppy and unprofessional so it needs to be stopped I mean I know that our posts aren't term papers but people could at least re-read what they write first so it makes sense and isn't sloppy and doesn't look like a first grader wrote it and then we can understand their point.
 
While I agree that good grammar and mechanics can never be too high of a priority, I was actually just making fun of myself.

It's kind of a doozy of a sentence, really.
 
So this is a pretty minuscule thing, but can I suggest changing the wording of Kings Dominion's description on the forum home page from "Cedar Fair-owned amusement park" to "Cedar Fair-owned theme park." Both Busch Gardens parks are referred to as theme parks, and Kings Dominion is no different.
Like I said, this is a small thing, but you don't want this site to come off as another KD hater.
 
I would suggest saying "themed amusement park" instead. The Busch Gardens parks have one overall theme while KD just has separate themes that don't really match together. Also, I thought the difference in theme and amusement was the amount of roller coasters the park has?
 
I can change it to "themed-amusement park" as that is how the park classifies themselves on their website.

And no, you can be a theme park with 0 - 100 roller coasters. What matters is that you have a theme and each coaster follows the park's theme and the area that is resides in theme.
 
So for a theme park, the whole park needs a cohesive theme, and the coasters have to follow the park theme and their hamlet theme?

Just clarifying.
 
We'll classify parks as they classify themselves. Kings Dominion calls itself a themed amusement park. We'll fix it.

Magic Kingdom says "hello!" Islands of Adventure says "hi!"

Just pointing this out, Evan, Kings Dominion seems be trying to get away from that branding and in many places they are now referring to themselves as a theme park.
