But do that really need to be ? If it is a real user they will respond to defend them self's . bot that can notify you when your nick is mentioned in a post would be nice . Option on/off would be cool as well .
Not totally surprising if you know me, but I am somehow missing the point here.
Has someone wronged you on the forum?
IMHO, there are some basic options available before getting a mod involved as they have better stuff to do.
If it is some kind of sour grapes thing or someone that disagrees with your opinion on this, that or the other, just ignore them and don't dignify their actions with an action of your own. If they are out of line, other members just may make it clear as no one likes a jerk.
If they get personal, you have a couple of options.
A: Gather your facts as to how to respond to the individual in question and address the issue. Forget the bringing a knife to a gunfight mentality, bring a freaking mini-gun.
B: Ask a moderator to moderate.
C: My personal favorite, like I said earlier just ignore them and most likely they will go away.
