As far as I can tell, the only chatters ruining the chat last week were the ones trying to ruin it, with the meows and chat-crashing links and whatnot.
Those are the only people(it's probably just one guy) I have a problem with, and it'd be nice if they could get banned once they start their stupid shenonigans. 

I wouldn't want anybody who actually likes the show to feel like they're being singled out when people start talking about lousy chatters.

Sorry if I'm repeating, but just right+click or ctrl+click the user's name and select "ignore," or type "/ignore (username)" into the little text box.  Gets rid of the little bastard every time.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

That or, if you feel you could be an expert chat-saboteur, master the art of hitting alt-V <enter> over and over, really fast until everyone has ignored you.  Then, sign out!  And then, sign back in!  And then ride the roller coaster all over again!  Weh-heeuuuuuu!!  Don't it feel great to be hated?

What does alt-V followed by "enter" do?

It's almost as good as ALT+F4

I think Ctrl-V is what was meant, which is the paste command.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

So you're like that cool guy from the Apple vs. PC commercials?

My folks actually used to have one of those Macs pictured above.

Ctrl V, yes, that is what I meant.  Or maybe Apple V, whatever.  Woops..  I don't know of any other way this person would've done that, unless it's some wierd software that comes with an educational book entitled "Spamming for Dummies" (or should I say phillidummies?).

Oh pardon me, I fell asleep while reading this thread and my forehead landed on the g, y, h, and j keys of my MacBook.

This week I finally understood the basis for Ignore Function's handle. It's a good handle, and I thank the FOTs who provided the troll-blocking instructions. Hopefully Jason was able to record the offending IP addresses for ban purposes.

I don't think it landed on 'h'.
