There is a tool, it's called using your damn head to either tell these people to fuck off, or to constructively debate them IF they have a point. Like what the hell do you people do in real life if you get into an unpleasant argument with someone? Do you just straight up murder them? No, you tell them to fuck off and stop pestering you.There are no tools to do this with, they weren't breaking forum rules or there would have been mods involved, so literally the only thing the people doing the work have is shutting off access to the repositories and shutting off access means shutting it off for everyone. There is no selective block function like an IP ban.
Again, it's literally that easy to just tell them to piss off and shift your attention elsewhere. I fail to see another reason but power tripping because healthy common sense tells me that if there is someone pestering them I dismiss them and discuss things that actually matter.I was not being serious about this one because I already know it doesn't work. Assholes are going to be assholes no matter what, especially the ones with entitlement issues. If it did work, there never would have been a second incident after the previous one ended in Icevail refusing to translate game 24 on the main repository. Critique is acceptable, asshole behavior is not and there is a major difference between the two. Your search function comment was a critique, you were NOT being an asshole, you said something perfectly valid. What was said with the two latest incidents that cost the game 24 translation and APK repository were NOT valid critiques, they were people being assholes.
Okay, my bad, that's on me, not sure how didn't I notice that before.That's if you use the username box, there is a longer bar above that that doesn't search by anything other than the keyword you type there. It has a 'search this thread by keyword' function, just type in a keyword, hit the drop down box that says either "everywhere," "threads," "this forum," or "this thread" and then hit search and it will pop up every result in the selected drop down category for the keyword you typed. Sure, you have to comb through the applicable comments, but that's just how it works regardless of how they set up the search function unless you can search with every word used in their exact order of use.
