FS eBAY: 1959 American Flyer train set.

SNIP HAPPENS

Just letting you know you have been filtered and .

Thanks for bidding!

Just a reminder that you've now violated eBay's policies 5 times in a row here.

Not that anyone cares or anything ...

But I reported it anyway.

See, NOW i agree - ebay - ONE TIME post not two or three... PLONK

Or five... Ditto.

IF 'plonkers' weren't such morons, you wouldn't be wasting everyone's time with these silly PLONKing posts. All it takes is for two or three eBay users to send a SPAM complaint to eBay, and NARU - he's suspended.

Into the killfile with you

The past few days in here, it's been like hail on a metal roof. Plonk, plonk, plonk, plonk, plonk... :-)

Well we morons bow down to the superior intellect and wish you all the luck in the world but since you're so self important you of course don't need that...

Announcing who is in your killfile is about as mature as sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming "lalalalalala." Use 'em without announcing 'em, please.

When I take the time to announce my kill file additions, it's partially in hopes that the kill filed person will note it and figure out what was so bad about his behavior that he made my kill file. In 100 days, the kill file expires, so he can show he's reformed.

If you see someone's gotten a plonk reply, just go on to the next post. (Unless you're the guy who's been kill filed... Then try to figure out what was so bad about your behavior...) Complaint posts just bring the SNR down, and lower the quality of the newsgroup.

This is most effectively accomplished when the offender starts sucking static from nobody reading (and thus replying) to his messages further. I've seen it work on higher traffic mailing lists than this newsgroup.

Still, it's a personal decision that only affects you, not particularly worthy of being announced, and generally reduces effectiveness of killfiles on the most eggregious offenders.

How is plonking out loud not a complaint?
