Gah.
I just realized, that as admins, we shouldn't ENUF anyone.
However, back in the day, I appreciated knowing when I was skipping, and when I wasn't, at least so that I could work out what I had missed on purpose, and what I'd let slip by me.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Why not three options: Nothing at all, headers but no content, or my 'subtle' missing-post indicator, forming a link to read it if desired?
I'd vote for a stripped-down header, that is, something in between. Unless it's actually easier to code for leaving the header much as is. I would like to have the name of the filtered poster appear; on TT I had more than one person filtered, and the reasons differed somewhat from person to person.
But I think name of poster and missing-post indicator (by all means subtle) would be fine. Again, depending on ease of coding.
(Finally, even with the recent shenanigans on Firefly, I don't yet feel the need to filter anyone. By all means take this into account when according weight, or lack thereof, to my personal preferences.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, I figured that out awhile back. Actually, this is the first guy I've ever felt strongly enough about to want to filter out his posts, mostly because I was afraid that if I tried to respond, I would lose my temper and post something unfortunate. The only guy I ever ENUFed back on TT was the fellow who always posted white text on a black background. Nothing to do with his content, just the way he presented it annoyed me.

Thrive to spite them
I do want some info that would show a post has been filtered and just the poster's name and the post number would be fine. Personally I never pay attention to post numbers so if posts were just missing it would take me awhile to figure out what was going on.

If I only had a brain...
I just realized, that as admins, we shouldn't ENUF anyone.
My God, that is taking one for the team. I salute you.
I really wish that there could be precisely one rule, and it would be Don't Be A Jerk.
Pity the world doesn't work that way.

I just realized, that as admins, we shouldn't ENUF anyone.
Speaking as one admin, I've never felt the need to enuf anyone on any board, but that's just my temperment. I let those losers slide right past me. I know I'm a freak and understand why others admins would be frustrated.

I'd never really thought about it. But I mean as a coding thing, admins should not be offered the ENUF option.
Can we prioritise the outstanding requests?
Jon -- you have copies of your code, right? I want to rollback our test site to a current version of the standard site so the changes can be evaluated in test one by one.
And I'll get back on seeing if we can host CVS at buffistas.org.

Yes. Just give me a warning once you roll back.

I'll roll back some time this weekend.

Random piece of information: alicelizard is the 200th new user we've added since Joss posted.
I'm feeling an odd sort of sisterly pride here.
Me: See, you are user number 568. And I am user number 61. That means I am taller than you.
Her: You are already taller than me.
Me: But now it's official.
