'Potential'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Allyson, this is a screenshot from the test, taken as a joke about how peaceful bureau could end up being.
What I'd like is to have "this post is inblisible" without the MARCIE reference -- it doesn't need to have a brand name on it at all. Whatever we decide, it needn't be big and intrusive, as you can see.
I hate Bozo, and MARCIE. ENUF is okay, because I guess, it's not a name. I still like either just user filter, or blinvisible. I think blinvisible is more fun.
It's that Marcie ended up trying to kill people for being made invisible. That's my ish. Not having a nice name.
This post rendered blinvisible by MARCIE.
If I'm the only what that sees this, I'd rather have
"This post is invisible because you've decided not to read this wrongheaded crackpot with an ignorant opinion ever again."
Temporarily view this post.
Again, I'd rather have
"If you click here, you'll just find yourself more annoyed because the posts you were previously filtering will now be visible."
But too harsh and wordy. Just like me.
There's also going to have to be a FAQ entry on it, and I just think it's going to be hurty-feelingy enough without a smartass name.

HEY! I'm all about the peace.
And prefer that the formal name is "user filter." People can then feel free to call it whatever they want.

Why? Half the boards on this planet have a user filter. It's a feature of the software; stick it in the how-to.
Hmmm...I see your point, Dana. I hadn't thought about whether or not the FAQ entry would hurt people's feelings.
Sounds harsher to me, personally.
I kind of just like "User Filter", and then "blinvisible" gives it that touch of whimsy. (Not, alas, a touch of Wimsey.)
I agree with Dana.

How-to, FAQ, whatever. And I guess I don't mean hurt feelings, but it's a sensitive subject for some, even before we get into having to tell people "No, 'I'm so gonna BOZO you!' is not really the way we like to communicate."
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of blinvisible. if I'm filtering someone, I'm way past the point that whimsy is going to be amusing and soothing
But obviously YFilteringMV.
