@sinthr I’ve never seen this before, but I can imagine. I also wonder if there’s a way to…mute a conversation? For example, there’s a conversation I’m in with quite a lot of people that can get spammy, but I don’t necessarily want to leave. Is there a way to circumvent this? Maybe an overall “do not disturb” function that gets rid of all notifications would work. 😊

@sinthr Hmm... I’ve never actually thought about this. But I think it’s actually a good idea. Although I’ve never encountered someone who reacts that way to a ping, I think it would be best to have this system as someone who just doesn’t want to pinged doesn’t have to get into any drama with other users.I just had a few quick questions:1. Would it be something you can turn on and off in, for example, your profile like where you can turn your Last Seen on and off?2. Will these ppl still be able to be pinged but not receive it?And I agree to the user above, I know what they’re talking about ^^

@sinthr I guess I’m lucky enough^^ I do think it’s a good idea and I hope it can be implemented soon!

I'm sometimes a bit hesitant because I don't want to annoy people, but if I ping someone I'm very excited about the thing and want to let more people know. So this would be absolutely perfect! @ian idk if it's easy to make - but this would be so nice for everyone - the people not wanting to be pinged and the people who don't want to be annoying 😋

@sinthrThis hasn't happened to me yet, but I've seen it happen to others. Personally, I don't care about pings(I get excited over notifications cuz I'm bored so everybody ping me as much as you want), but I think the system would help a lot. I'm pretty hesitant to ping anybody other than my friends because of this. I really hope it's implemented soon!

@sinthr it's sad to hear this is happening I understand that people may get angry at being pinged however they should still shouldn't throw abuse at others for it. I would like to add to this, a block list on forums for users who have blocked you / you've blocked them so you don't get notified of there forum posts.

@sinthrYou don't sound bitter at all xDI think this is an amazing idea!! I've also had a less-than-lovely experience with a user who didn't want to be pinged, and I'm often hesitant to ping people because I don't want to make anyone frustrated 😋 Personally I don't mind pings (@shadowdragon28 let's be ping buddies because I'm bored and do the exact same thing xD) but I understand others feel differently. A system like this would work to the benefit of both the users pinging and the users being pinged. Pingers wouldn't need as much caution and forum posts would get more publicity from people who are interested, plus those who don't want pings can live their life. And if anyone's having a bad week or wanting a break from people, they could even tap the do not disturb temporarily 😊 I think all of us have wanted to disable notifications for a little while, whether from a PM, forums or just in general.

@sinthr i think this is a good idea! prevents users from being upset by a notification, prevents the attacking, promotes the spread of topics to users who will actually respond and are interested 😊i've seen many users go off about a single ping! not to me personally, but i've been blocked i'm assuming for a wall comment i made promoting a trading topic or creature suggestion. it'd help these users who are more sensitive to these things not be so angry and it'd prevent the hurt feelings of the users who just want to spread their topics

@sinthr - I've never encountered this before, but this is a pretty good idea. I always feel kinda bad when I randomly ping someone in a thread, I'm always worried that I'm potentially irritating them. I guess a feature like this could somewhat ease those fears.Why would you berate someone over a ping, though? It's pretty easy to just simply ignore the ping and I very shamefully do it all the time, sorry. I mean, I do understand that being pinged over something you have no interest can be kinda annoying, especially if you were already in a crappy mood, but you're not forced to click on the notification and read it.

@sinthr you can now turn off ping notifications from the Forums and Site Blog if you'd like:https://eggcave.com/preferences/controlsThanks!

@sinthrYay, we did it! I totally agree, there's no need to get angry at someone for a simple ping. Especially if you had a bad day, you don't need to take that out on someone else. They didn't mean any offense.I'll usually check notifications for pings and then ignore it if I'm really not interested. And I think blocking pings from certain categories of forums is a good idea too, but a little harder to implement 😊@Ian thank you so much, that was so fast ❤️
sparklefox • 2 February 2021 at 7:39 PM
@Ian - Wow, that was really quick. Thanks!
Ian • 2 February 2021 at 8:06 PM
@sinthr @jlya @sparklefox of course! ❤️ Enjoy as you please. It won't be an option for everybody, but I believe that it's great that there are more options.
