What's the reasoning behind posting this, on one of the boards you yourself admit the feature works well for?

im saying that the feature should only be used for these boards at the very least.

pikakaeru posted...

no. it's a good feature.

good at what that ignore doesnt already do, on public boards? (This means CE isnt one of them)

Mr_hulk88 posted...

Lol a huge public space is where you need it the most, not private places where people actually need to be accepted.
And I dunno what you're talking about. I logged out and I can't see this board.

Pretty much this.

Personally the ignore feature is what seems useless. I don't need to stop seeing someone's posts if they're still going to be able to engage me, only now without me seeing it which is worse lol.
Blocking is especially great for giving you the ability to block out idiots/trolls from derailing your threads as well.

a public place is viewable by someone that isnt logged in, which ruins the entire purpose of you preventing people from seeing your posts. Doesnt prevent them from commenting or replying on them either

blocking someone is obvious and people could just make a new account to harass you again. Putting them on ignore list isnt very obvious TO THEM and they would be less likely to make a new account.

assuming that no one responds to the troll, how do you know the thread is being derailed? They would probably just make a new account anyways.

You can't read anything if you log out. This has been pointed out to you already.

No. It should be available anywhere.

you cant read anything ON CURRENT EVENTS (and other private boards) if you log out.

you CAN READ public boards for video games and whatnot AS A GUEST.

if you dont believe me, log out right now and tell me what boards you are able to access while logged out.

if blocking was only for private boards then I wouldnt have much of an issue with it.

Mr_hulk88 posted...

No, it's not the same. It is very helpful, it should not be removed and it won't. And you will suck it up.

how is it helpful at making people not read your PUBLIC messages when they can just log out?

private boards unviewable by guests are the only places it should be in.

comicfire posted...

The block button does it too~

which is why the block button should be removed because it serves the same purpose as ignore but causes more trouble than its worth for no gain.

comicfire posted...

I block people so I don't have to read their crap

this is what the ignore button does

Heartomaton posted...

Yes. Very important. Affects much.

the blocking feature would make sense if you couldnt view posts while logged out, which I dont think gamefaqs would want that

Heartomaton posted...

This.

the entire topic?

Xatrion posted...

So your point is that it's pointless because people can just log out and view your post and mark it if it violates the rules? Give me a break.
Also, I don't think you can view CE without an account of a certain level, so you posting this nonsense here is effectively pointless.

CE is one area where blocking makes sense, so I wouldnt mind blocking being exclusive to these kinds of boards

why cant you block a specific person from viewing your youtube videos? Because they can just log out and view the video. Same logic applies to gamefaqs

Heartomaton posted...

Super important.

what super important?

I point out how its pointless because people can just log out and view your posts as a guest, and if you post anything that violates TOS then you are blocking them from reporting you breaking the rules.

everyone always says (like in this topic) just dont log out; you shouldnt be seeing things people dont want you seeing when they are ignoring the entire point of this topic; that you cant stop someone from logging out and viewing your topic as a guest so the block feature serves no actual purpose outside of people removing your ability to report them for breaking the rules.

gamefaqs isnt facebook or twitter where you can make posts private, therefore a block feature is mostly pointless and does more harm than good. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/2-message-board-help/80412042

After downloading a save, you'll either get a plain old data.bin or a zipped file.

If you have a data.bin, you have to place it in a folder structure on your SD card like so: \private\wii\title\GAME\data.bin (replacing GAME with it's corresponding game code from the game code list @ http://www.wiisave.com/gamecodes/).

tried following these steps and the wiisave site seems to be a virus.

itachi15243 posted...

The fact that you made this topic makes me not want to answer.

Ive seen people do it in situations like this which is why I asked https://powermasterwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Bodine&action=history

Or would the cops not bother and just dismiss them as rude comments?

Rumours have it that French football fans are behind this attack because of the World Cup final.

One Argentina fan has a report that these French fans threw me to the ground and tried to kick me four times but missed on two attempts.

Big_Nabendu posted...

No I don't care option?

why are you voting?

even then dozens of people died building the stadiums because they were treated poorly so why dont you care?

whitelytning posted...

You asked like three questions and have compound responses.

What are you actually asking?

Im asking if you arent happy because the football wasnt as good as previous tournaments or so it because Qatar is the worst place to host the tournament

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExwEEYZiM64

FIFA calls this the best World Cup. Do you agree?

You give money to them and they dont use it for food, why do you not have a right to bitch about this?

Its pretty pointless to do so to begin with but it can easily constitute soliciting money under false pretenses

Why didnt USA get this world cup though and Morocco is beyond me

World Cup 1998=hosted by France, teams increased from 24 to 32

Euro 2000 and 2004=Germany eliminated in group stage

World Cup 2006=hosted by Germany

Euro 2016=hosted by France, teams increased from 16 to 24

World Cup 2018 and 2022=Germany eliminated in group stage

Euro 2024=hosted by Germany

what pattern is this?

electricbugs2 posted...

Does it though? Don't get me wrong, Putin is shit, and LGBT rights in Russia are non existent, but up until the war started, most regular Russian citizens pretty much lived how we do in North America.

In Qatar you could go to jail just for filming a Qatari citizen. Even by the standards of the middle east Qatar is a shithole.

idk but Wikipedia says qatar has better human rights than Russia so Im going off what they say

If it has a better human rights record than Russia, who hosted the previous tournament?

Is it because of their temperatures, football history, the fact that Qatar had made many slaves build the stadiums and dozens of them died from the abuse, or what?

VampireCoyote posted...

Cause theyre a bunch of stupid idiots

same reason why this World Cup is in Qatar?

Antifar posted...

There are reports they're looking at four-team groups:
https://twitter.com/AlexMSilverman/status/1543353642455076864

I agree, three-team groups are silly

I wouldnt mind that but I thought we could try double elimination

Every team would play two matches, and FIFA gets to drop the simultaneous group matches (which allows everyone to watch each match from start to finish) while simultaneously remove any reason to match fix like its the disgrace of gijon (which is what three team groups will promote)

Sufferedphoneix posted...

Unlikely. Not impossible but unlikely. People who don't need the money would typically rather do more enjoyable activities

many people including me wouldnt do it but youll be surprised at how many people are kind to beggars

Sufferedphoneix posted...

As far as money goes everyone needs money even if they already have enough to survive on. If they are begging for it surely there is something they are after that requires money. More money than they got. People will lie cause they feel sympathy will get them money more easily.

Hell they could be truly in need and still lie. As they feel the sympathy card is effective.

or they could simply just pocket the money and laugh about it or just be doing it for free money

As in if your cousins are related by dads siblings, their moms side cousins are your cousins in law?

Sufferedphoneix posted...

Begging isn't about being In need. It's a act. A verb. And doing it makes you a beggar.

I've begged people for cigarettes before. Do I need a cigarette? As much as I need a heart attack but still I did it. And I would say in that moment I was a beggar.

you are a beggar if you ask people for things but are you doing it to con people and take advantage of them or are you actually in need and would actually use the thing for what you claim its for is the question

Lil_Bit83 posted...

I have no idea why some people hate the homeless so much? Does it never occur to them that they could someday be in such an unenviable position and may need help? Are they seriously that incapable of mentally putting themselves in another's shoes or having empathy?

I dont think people lack empathy for the homeless

just that if you say you want money for food but then you dont buy food with the money you are given, you would easily be stereotyped by people as someone who doesnt need money and just want free handouts

Fluttershy posted...

they may be begging but real beggar implies they are actually

begging lol.

are they begging?

why do you always cut out portions of someones message?

no wonder why you ignore facts

are they begging to fraud people or are they actually homeless?

if yes, theyre not a real beggar because theyre not actually in need

Fluttershy posted...

They are begging for money so they would fit under a definition of a beggar

they're a real beggar.

they may be begging but real beggar implies they are actually homeless or crippled and are not pretending for fraud purposes.

even if its the correct term to describe them, its a huge misinformer

TheOtherMike posted...

No they aren't. If they're begging, they're in need. People who aren't in need aren't begging in the first place. Lying about or exaggerating their circumstances doesn't change that.

so people cannot pretend to be homeless in order to get money from others

TheOtherMike posted...

Sure, you might as well if you want to be wrong.

they are faking being crippled or homeless so fake beggar may not be the correct term to use but its the most descriptive way to describe them, because they are faking being in need. This is why every article and YouTube video would call them fake even if its the incorrect way to describe them.

Fluttershy posted...

are they begging?

lets just put it this way. They are begging for money so they would fit under a definition of a beggar but saying real beggar implies to the majority of people that they are homeless or crippled for real instead of pretending to be in need for fraud purposes.

TheOtherMike posted...

That's youtube users, not youtube. Regardless, this doesn't change anything I said, it just means you and these users are using words wrong.

these beggars are faking being injured and/or being homeless so you might as well call them fake beggars

TheOtherMike posted...

No such thing as a "fake beggar." If they're begging for money or food or anything else, they're a beggar. Lying about their situation doesn't change that they're begging, it just makes them a liar and a beggar.

youtube calls them fake beggars

no, I answered your question but you twist it into an answer you want

no, you repeatedly answered questions that were much easier to answer instead of mine.

Why would is he begging to scam people be easier than is he begging

by your logic you should have no problems answering my question if its apparently

because darkproto said the reason why I made this topic,

I want to know why people have such double standards

DarkProto05 posted...

If someone begs me for money without an explanation, its up to them what they do with it. None of my business. However if someone says they need it to feed their kids then buys alcohol thats fucked up. Idk if a situation like this is what TC is alluding to.

majority of beggars do say what they want the money for instead of just saying they want money.

people on quora bitch a lot about what beggars do with donated money and they get told its no longer your money and none of your business but I thought anyone would bitch about someone being a fake beggar so I want to know why the double standards

Fluttershy posted...

does he beg?

does he do it to scam people?

answer this first

Fluttershy posted...

you're literally just repeating what i'm saying back now. i know it sounds good, but it only works when i do it.

no, every article Ive seen calls him a bogus beggar and you are calling him a real beggar.

Fluttershy posted...

or you refuse to get your facts straight

my one fact is as direct and straight as they come. all you've been able to do is clumsy flips every time i've presented it.

my one fact is as direct and straight as it comes, you just ignore it all the time like you support the guys actions

Fluttershy posted...

like at this point you're in darts mode, you're just throwing stuff and hoping it sticks. gosh!

or you continue to ignore facts like you always have

Fluttershy posted...

no, i simply refused to respond to desperate strawmen.

does he beg?

or you refuse to get your facts straight

The_X_Dawg posted...

I'm not reading through the majority of these posts, but I'll say this:

I just don't give money out to avoid any issues. There are a lot of non-homeless people who panhandle. I would rather my money go to someone who is truly in need, so it's better served to be given to programs rather than strangers. That said, if I was to give it out, it's with an understanding that I sure as hell don't know there story and can't be upset if they go use it to buy whatever the hell they want.

i just see it as double standards when people bitch about a beggar throwing away food they gave the beggar but they dont do so when a beggar buys cigarettes or drugs

Fluttershy posted...

I answered your question before.

no, you answered questions you came up with, because mine was too tough.

does he beg?

no, you cut out parts of my question just so you could use the answer you wanted

and if he is a real beggar by your definition, why does the public need to arrest and shame him?

Fluttershy posted...

also, flawed premise. if you could answer my question, you would have, by now.

I answered your question before. You just ignored my answer.

does he beg to deceive people?

Fluttershy posted...

not a real beggar

does he beg?

why is he begging?

answer this then I can answer your question

Fluttershy posted...

yes it does.

you really need to stop with the mental gymnastics. they haven't worked at all. you can't bullshit at all.

the answer is he pretends to be crippled so he can beg for money from other people.

it makes him a beggar, but not a real beggar

Fluttershy posted...

lol that depends.

does he beg?

you know this question doesnt have a simple yes or no
