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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Allyson, this is a screenshot from the test, taken as a joke about how peaceful bureau could end up being.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

I like blinvisible, but I'd also be fine with a ... "this post blocked." It's calling the filter MARCIE or Bozo that doesn't appeal to me. Much prefer plain, generic "User Filter."
