New DU feature request: asshole button.
It would work much like the ignore, except instead of hiding the posts, it would mark them, right next to their name, with "asshole"


What do you think?

I'm not putting down your idea, but it did strike my funnybone.

8. But your posts already say "kick-ass-bob" right there.
I'd say that's clear enough.

31. too much like the ignore feature
once somebody is tagged with a label, everything they do automatically confirms the label. If someone has a bad day or gets into a flame war where their buttons are pushed, they would have a label they would not be able to shake. Especially with labels on the threads. "There's that a$$hole again, do not bother to read the post." It does not create a very cohesive or vibrant community.

I like it better when someone responds "boy, are you an a$$hole" and I can explain or defend myself. Sometimes an SOteric joke does not go over as planned, and sometimes the argument needs more explication.

24. I think you are just too lazy to do your own work
and I am sorry that you have forgotten about me.
All you have to do is cut and paste the usernames into a spreadsheet, and alphabetize it. Or if the list is short enough you can use a word processing file. That way you can keep track of not only who they are, but what they said. But you are right, I constantly have to check my enemies list which is woefully disorganized with entries like this: "I think you are just too lazy to do your own work." hfojvt 9-6-05

29. Or maybe a thumbs up and thumbs down - and a count
So you would have a way to express your agreement to someone without saying "me too" or "well said" or whatever.

And on the other side, you'ld get a chance to blow rasberries without having to get into an argument.

The count would reinforce this - you'ld get to see just how many DU'ers think your an asshole...
