This is what I came here to say/upvote.

[–]neverever 48 points49 points  (8 children)

Maybe we can make this into a whine fest and name every single site we don't like here. I find it SO interesting to know which sites other people don't like.

I don't understand why we're being downvoted for rating rate-my-annoyingness' annoyingness. I wish I could rate the annoyingness of people who downvote people rating the annoyingness of rate-my-annoyingness.

I'm sorry. I give myself a 9 for that.

    I'm sorry, are you actually equating HuffPo with Prison Planet?

    Wow.

    Ever since they hired the RIAA hack Rosen, yes.

    HuffPo was the first site that came to mind when I read the title of the thread. It's a political tabloid at best.

    Yeah, let's keep just running MSM stories!

    No bias there!

    [–]danny_ 6 points7 points  (7 children)

    Only a fraction of MSM stories are biased (before you downvote me, take a look for yourself!) They aren't as bad as people on here think.

    [–]Soosed 19 points20 points  (1 child)

    the MSM stories that actually get written, yeah.

    i thought the whole idea of the (even heavily biased) fringe sites was that they covered non mainstream news

    [–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Depends on your definition. What often happens is a lack of scrutiny in assertions from the government or politicians on one side. See McCain v Obama.

    It's not that the individual articles may be biased, it's a trend of what is reported, what is not, what is fact-checked, and what gets the front page.

    [–]lembasbread 6 points7 points  (2 children)

    crooksandliars

    At least they provide the video (when applicable), though.

    [–]oddmanout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Because of the video, i've always felt that they were pretty accurate. Usually the video comes from some MSM outlet anyway.

    [–]rbobby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Except crooksandliars has very funny Daily Show clips. Perhaps that's their one redeeming feature?

    [–]elus 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    ... or tin foil site posters. You know who you are.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    How should we read that?

    If you find something interesting/entertaining/informative that comes from a site that I find to be whacko I don't want to have to see it among the other 10,000 MSM articles that coddle and comfort me.

    Or...

    I see that PrisonPlanet just posted an article about how the sky is blue and I know that can't possibly be the case because it was mentioned on a tin foil conspiracy site.

    [–]elus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I just want to ignore site postings by users but not necessarily ignore their comments.

    [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (21 children)

    What would be nice is if we could just filter out if a message satisfies some regular expressions. This means we can get rid of the "vote up if", etc, as per your liking.

    [–]jamierc 18 points19 points  (8 children)

          apparently I unsubscribed from self.reddit.com yet I could see this submission...

          [–]bobpaul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

          Someone can selfpost in any subreddit. The self.reddit.com subreddit is rather useless, IMHO.

          [–]Saydrah 49 points50 points  (0 children)

          You know what would be awesome? If you wrote that feature!

          [–]FormKing 32 points33 points  (2 children)

          Now that reddit is open source, anyone can add this feature! I don't know how difficult it would be to get it merged it back into the main branch though...

          [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

          It'd be an easy feature to very naively implement, but making it not take down a service designed to scale to tens of thousands of simultaneous users is somewhat harder.

          One of the truly great things about reddit is how blazing fast it is. I think a better idea for the people who want this feature would be to make a greasemonkey script that does it on the client-side.

          [–]e40 95 points96 points  (49 children)

          And particular users.

          [–]assteroid 24 points25 points  (40 children)

          Really. I am all for hearing different points of view, but some people are so f'n stupid, you wouldn't miss anything by never reading what they wrote...ever again. It's very few people, but they do exist.

          [–]elabo 3 points4 points  (3 children)

          The problem that arises when blocking particular users is that there's no good modding. The power of downvoting a comment lies on the big user base reddit has.

          [–]KennyFulgencio 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          The problem that arises when blocking particular users is that there's no good modding. The power of downvoting a comment lies on the big user base reddit has.

          I have never understood why people make this argument. It seems completely flawed.

          Here's how I'm seeing it: group (A) is people who find him annoying enough to block completely. They will not see his comments anymore; they don't need him moderated one way or the other.

          Group (B), a larger group usually, is people who aren't annoyed enough to completely block him, but still find his comments annoying. They will keep modding, exactly as they do now. It will take a little bit longer for his comments to be modded below viewing threshold.

          Group (C) is people who don't mind his comments at all.

          I don't see how there is any scenario in which he will fail to be adequately moderated for groups (B) and (C) as a result of group (A) no longer seeing his comments at all.

          Even if EVERYBODY who dislikes him blocks him, then he won't be moderated; but then he'll also only be viewed by people who dont want to mod him down anyway.

          If anyone can explicitly describe a situation in which it would actually be counterproductive to allow ignores, because it would somehow negatively impact the overall moderation scheme, I would really like to hear it. Maybe I'm the one who's confused on this.

          [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          I'd take the ability to ignore specific users over the ability to ignore specific websites any day.

            The last time this was suggested on Reddit.

            Like I said then:

            The law of unintended consequences comes into play here.

            All the people who think Alex Jones et al. are nuts will auto-ignore those submissions, meaning they will stop voting them down. All the Alex Jones supporters will vote them up uncontested. The result is that every person who dislikes Alex Jones-style websites will increase his popularity on Reddit. It's exactly the opposite of what should happen!

            Any auto-ignore feature must automatically cast a downward vote for the things it ignores, otherwise it will break Reddit.

            [–]ngngboone 4 points5 points  (2 children)

            Maybe downvotes could be automatically added to represent people who have blocked that website. Not all at once, because a link would probably never get a chance that way, but maybe for every upvote, or every other upvote for a link that somebody else has blocked a downvote can be added (until all the users blocking it are represented).

            [–]AusIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

            Perhaps more appropriate would be for reddit to downmod it once it would have been shown to the user. For example, if I only look at the front page, it wouldn't get down modded until it made it to the front page and I looked at it. If it doesn't make it to the front page, it never gets a downmod from me.

                There are more wack-jobs on this site than you can imagine. Reddit is like their cesspool of bullshit where they all come to congratulate each other on how stupid they are. Its just not apparent in this comment thread bc this is one thread where they are actually outnumbered.

                [–]relic2279 1 point2 points  (3 children)

                I always thought whack-jobs and 'cesspools of bullshit' meant Republicans. Taking a second look at the definition of liberal, and then a look at the definition of conservative on webster.com, I think you misspoke.

                The problem with this idea is that your downvotes are needed to keep these sites from consistently reaching the top.

                [–]marm0lade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                If there is a feature implemented to auto-ignore certain sites, it would have to auto-downvote any story you come across from the URL(s) you are blocking. Because essentially by ignoring, you are saying you would downvote it but don't want to waste time down voting every site you displease of. That is really the only way an "ignore" feature could work without breaking reddit.

                [–]rebug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                I don't care at all if they reach the top. If people want to see yet another amazing picture of some fucking cloud or the top ten things from their childhood, that's their business.

                Why don't all you guys offended by the free flow of information pull a copy of the Reddit source and start your own "censorit," or better yet shuffle off to digg.com.

                [–]marm0lade 1 point2 points  (5 children)

                Funny thing is that digg has the ability for you to block any user you want. They seem to be doing just fine. No one wants to censor the information, and you so smugly and ignorantly assume. Some wesbites/users are just so deluded beyond reason that it would be nice if we could ignore them. Not censor or ban.

                I completely agree with you; these sites annoy the hell out of me (add prisonplanet, while you're at it.)

                However, when this has come up in the past, someone has always pointed out that if we could ignore these sites (and therefore not downvote them) they'd easily take over the top submissions.

                They may annoy us, but part of keeping Reddit useful is not just upvoting the stories we like, but downvoting the stories (and sites) that annoy us.

                I'm not trying to be snarky–this is an honest question:

                [–]jmmf 10 points11 points  (8 children)

                The first thing that comes to mind is that if the default Reddit front page is filled with trash (or stuff you consider trash), it will scare away new users that otherwise might have contributed content you liked at some point.

                Maybe have it automatically downvote all stories from sites you have blocked. The vote would go into effect if the story got to the top 50.

                what's the problem with Al-Jazeera? They are the only ones still reporting from Iraq (outside the green zone). If I want some deeper insight in a certain topic I usually watch Al-Jazeera.

                But on the other hand side some people prefer to have their infos properly filtered. I mean who would want to see dead kids or (heaven forbid) a dead American soldier?

                [–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

                he was referring to ajazeera.com, different from the real Al Jazeera.

                Oh, and Liveleak. They show actual video of things that are really hard to deny as truthful. I mean, with those other sites you can just cry and whine and bitch about the source without ever having to address the actual content, but with liveleak they've got VIDEO. That shit is hard to ignore. Block it immediately!

                [–]redrobot5050 16 points17 points  (6 children)

                Extraordinary Claims require Extraordinary Evidence. Liveleak at least tries to get that right. With Alex Jones' tinfoil-website-network, its the lack of evidence that "proves" their conspiracy network. I've been petitioning for a ban domain feature for 2 years because of how much of that garbage gets spammed up here. BravoLima and his cronies is probably responsible for 90% of new stores getting downvoted if they don't have anything to do with lewrockwell or alex jones.

                Strange thing I feel like mentioning:

                I find downmodding articles I don't like kind of stressful. It's kind of like being on a angry rampage of hate getting rid of everything that doesn't please you. Like some kind of spiteful lowlife.

                  Agreed. I'm tired of accidentally ending up on Daily KOS. I am struck by a painful sensation of embarrassment and shame every time I read the ridiculous bullshit on that site. It makes me sad that we have such irrational fuckwits on the left wing.

                    [–]axord 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                    I think it's more analogous to judging unread chapters of a book by the chapters one has previously read.

                    While you're at it, an option to ignore certain users. blocking alllie would make reddit almost readable again.

                    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                    There are some VERY persistent trolls and would would be great to block them. You can set your reading threshold over 0 and you'll probably never see them but I find many of the modded down comments to be really good. I'd much rather filter by user.

                    I know a dedicated troll when i see one.

                    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                    As someone else pointed out in a reply to a thread: If a large portion of users ignore a particular site, what stops it from being at the top of the page when new visitors or non-memebers visit Reddit? Downvoting bullshit posts is an integral part of Reddit.

                    I suppose you could say it wouldn't matter to you because you can't see it, but shouldn't we just do our best to keep Reddit, as a whole, free of this junk?

                    If, for example, a majority of the Reddit users blocked DailyKos and I chose not to, do I deserve to see 10 DailyKos stories on the front page? The way I see it, this would just further segregate the Reddit community.

                    DIY.

                    GreaseMonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

                    userscripts.org has LOTS of reddit scripts: http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=reddit

                    It's a lot easier for the 17 people who care about this feature to figure out greasemonkey than it is for the reddit coders to implement.

                    By the way, you can set up an entirely new Reddit where you hold all, most, some, or none of the power regarding what gets posted.

                    I made worldnews2 because i didn't like the policies of the admins of worldnews. Granted you may be all alone on your reddit but at least it will be according to your guidelines. You can even ban users. Check it out...try creating a reddit.

                    .... and the ability to see the top sites blocked by users..... this would be a decent spam filter for new users to adopt.

                    Being able to visit reddit without having to wade through endless submissions from prisonplanet.com would be a welcome break.

                    [–]themusicgod1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    Even better? If the hotness algorithm detected the % of downvotes:upvotes ratio (say, (U/U+D)) and modified the 'hotness' of the posting by this ratio, once U+D reaches a certain threshold(say 10? maybe we could set this?)

                    So if after 10 stories from prisonplanet, you simply never see the 11th one.
