Muting both people, i think is too broad, and i think only used in more extreme cases.
That's why I like this idea, is because it allows you to 'specifically' discontinue chat between two individuals.
I would consider the long-run, that you're going to have to be dealing with a lot of these people for years
to come. so wouldn't it be nice to have another tool at your disposal to assist in moderating the channel?
its clear that some people don't have restraint, and don't know when to walk away from a conversation.
its very easy to get overly involved in the chat and it often can result in unnecessary drama.
i think ramses had a good point, that it could have an optional time limitation.
If we know two people absolutely cant get along, then perhaps that's where a permanent ignore
might be useful.
redi, there would be no need to send /ignore requests to the clients. my suggestion could actually be done
with ircop access... i believe theres a command like /s_command, that can execute a command like it came from
that client, all you'd have to do... is initiate a /silence command, and then have a timer remove the /silence.
that has the added benefit.... that if the user really did want to talk to that individual, they could remove the silence
themselves.
this idea is ideal, for situations where... the person isn't saying anything severe enough to warrant a warning, mute, or kick
but are just stirring people up.
i would hardly call it a denial of service attack, you're not denying them from a whole service, you're "curbing" a
negative situation, that has the potential to escalate. i hardly think anyone will be offended that they didn't
receive their insulting messages from another user.
it is up to the individual, but a lot of people see it as a matter of pride, not to back down from a fight.
that's why you have people with level heads usually to hold people back from doing or saying something they shouldn't.
at any given time of the day, people react differently to one another, as their moods and personalities
can sway. sometimes you get along great with someone one day, the next... they don't even want to look at you.
so by putting a temporary divider between two people, they both just suspect the other gave up, and they both
feel like they've won, and the room wins, because they don't have to hear it anymore.
so its a win win win. everybody wins!
