There *is* an ignore feature if it really annoys you that much:

As for "Nothing personal here...", really??

know this and maybe thinks that this user's opinions are very important because
they are so ubiquitous...

It really sounds like you are insinuating with your post and this comment that
his opinions aren't important because of a small store and only 2 years on
BL.
That's quite insulting.

These threads are fascinating in a kind of shopping-cart-rolling-down-a-hill-towards-a-brand-new-car-door
kinda way. I am too far away to stop it, and the results will invariably be bad,
but I can't keep my eyes off it.

No, don't cancel, it has some useful information in it. I didn't know
about the "ignore" function. I can now use "ignore" for sellers who post sales
ads, either with very little inventory, or regular prices such that the sale
is moot.
So far I have learned 2 useful things today, BL form has an ignore function,
and my ROKU has a sound balancing feature (I had quit watching the "News On"
app, my best source of local news, due to the advertisements screaming at me.)

The is good news to learn. The roku commercials are at least 4x louder than the
tv show you are watching. I actually stopped watching roku because of it.

Size of your store, absolutely shouldn't matter. By your feedback it looks
like you are more of a buyer anyways, and that's just as important to BrickLink
imo.

| I understand you both, IMO it's just the forum that's to blame. It takes
some creativity from users to reduce their posts (by combining multiple replies
into one post, by waiting until more replies are in) and not all users are doing
it. Can't really blame them for it. For example, sometimes the forum is full
of 'spam' because someone decides to thank everyone who replied to their
post individually. It's not a bad quality to thank people, but the result
is that all topics for everyone disappear off the screen. To me that's a
UI flaw. I say time for a modern forum.

It's a tremendous PITA trying to navigate and search the forum after getting
so accustomed to more modern ones. I originally thought this topic was going
to be directed at me because of all my questions which may seem noobish, but
I had to ask them because of how information gets buried.
Forums like this one: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta-air-lines-skymiles-665/
work well because I can skip around to topics I care about and see if there is
any new content. Meanwhile if one thread is blowing up because people are railroading
another user over his store policies, other threads don't get missed in the
wall of text.

I feel left out now that I do not post so much.
The forum has cooled down in the last few years. It used to me hot and heavy
with all sorts of great debates, arguments, and just plain nastiness. I see
very few of those from the early years left here on the forum. I tend to like
conflict and learn from arguments. In the early 2010s there were posters that
would argue that it was day when it was night, that the moon was made of cheese
and that aliens from Roswell owned bricklink. Ah, the good old days. My personal
opinion is that the forum is rather boring, but much more useful as a resource
about problems with the site, with inventories, with bad sellers or bad buyers
and what the Admins are not doing. The excitement is gone. It also seems like
there is a lot less posts now. Where is Troy and Foster when you need them?

much.
Nothing personal here, but I just don't get why someone who joined BL in
June 2019 and has a very small shop (732 items in 428 lots and an average of
8 sales per months) is so dominant on this forum.
It's great that this member shows his commitment, but can it please be a

I'm aware that my post may be a bit uncomfortable for some people and probably

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this request? I did a search
for his posts and I see nothing bad, wiered, anti Lego, boastful, or in any way
obnoxious. I find him to be a person who is just trying to be helpful to the
BL community so I encourage him to keep up the good work.
I noticed you seem to post quite a bit here yourself so I hope no one comes to
the forums and asks you to tone it done a bit. I know you have a lot more inventory,
a lot more sales and have been around longer but I dont think that is a qualification
for you to post more often than someone newer and with less sales then you.

Let the people post. There are many who enjoy the community aspect of Bricklink.
It's not all about buying and selling.

He's very often one of the only replies to questions (because there aren't
that many unique users posting in the forums) and he's been extremely helpful
(both directly and indirectly) in getting my workflow and store set up; so I
guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.
I recognized your name almost immediately and you only posted 16 time last month;
but I mostly remembered you for complaining unfortunately. This post here, this
one https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1306003, this one https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1302365
and this one https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1301506 .

Hi!
MrPetovan posting in the forums makes him even more credible as he is an active
member of the community representing his love and passion for the hobby.
Unlike yourself, I've interacted with MrPetovan several times in the past
year in which I enjoyed. This is the first time I've heard from you, and
I hope it will be the last.

Hi!
It was just a reference back to the creator, because the creator of the original
post said "Nothing person" so I just referenced it back.
"Nothing person" means: I am not specifically targeting you. This is funny
because they specifically targeted MrPetovan. Irony.
Take care, - SB

Never heard that before. Is a cell phone message phrase? Or was it meant to
be nothing personal? I get confused with the language changes since texting
has started to ruin the English language and people have no patience to write
in proper English. My wife (retired solider and retired high school and college
English teacher), children, grandchildren, close friends, massacre English when
texting. No one knows when this "?" should be used, because they have to take
time to go to another screen.

So, you went to the forum to express an opinion about something that was bugging
you. A whole bunch of people disagreed and said so publicly. One person agreed
with you privately. You are now disregarding everything said by anyone who disagreed
with you. Got it.

instead of privately addressing the situation. Time to stop. You're making

You may have contributed more to the catalog, but he's contributed much more

I have a measly 5 contributions to the catalog; why don't you start picking
on me?

Leftoverbricks maybe you are jealous of the attention they are getting? I have
0 contributions to the catalogs want to pick on me? But again I have been here
a lot longer and was one of those posters with JohnP, Foster, Troy and quite
a few others in the heyday of the forums, and when Dan was still alive.

Why are you making this some sort of competition...?
(I thought making everything a competition was strictly an American thing!)
Seriously though, although I'm all for additional contributions to the Bricklink
catalog; and even a little competition in doing so can be fun; unfortunately,
it seems you are challenging someone seemingly solely out of agitation, and that's
not all that healthy IMO...
I won't tell you what to do here, I will only suggest you take a moment to
reflect on the look you are currently illustrating in the forum; and let you
decide if it is the appearance you want to maintain...

No, winning and sex is what American life is all about. France is good at one

No one likes a braggart.
Dare him to what? I come to the forum to learn, and I've learned quite a
bit from him and threads he's participated in.
What I am learning from this thread is that this community is no different from
the world at large. There are trolls and a$$holes everywhere.
I like that you cut off your "My community activity" so that we can't see
how many people are blocking you.
Get over yourself, Mr. Petrovan has as much right to post as you do. Honestly,
I would prefer he did, since his contribute to the site and yours just seem to
be an plea for attention.
