The use of "Guest" as the ID for all participants was an attempt to ward off spillover to the main section by keeping participants anonymous. Unfortunately, an app not supported by TOTV revealed posters actual ID increasing member on member hostility.

We are now seeing significant incidences of posters bringing their hostility toward other members into main board threads through direct responses and comments that may outwardly appear innocuous but are intended to antagonize. This must stop NOW.

The existence of the political forum and posting privileges may be at risk if this continues.

Yes. Thanks for that. I will put my worst nemesis on the Ignore List yet again and hope people will alert me if I need to go to the Moderator again about this poster who will remain on the Ignore List. I believe pretty much any regular Poster on the Political Forum knows who I have been having rather troublesome problems with for the past six weeks or so. And many of the people on the regular board probably also know of whom I speak. Calling someone a dork and a retard (directed at me) should give a clue to whom I complained about whose attacks on me are anything but innocuous. They may look that way to someone who knows not know my back story but this man or woman seems to and continues to make personal attacks on me.

And the Ignore List seems to make Political Forum posts as well out of my sight. I would have booted this person a long time ago from Talk of the Villages if I had any control over the matter.

Looks like the Ignore List still works on the Political Forum.
