The "people you ignore" feature

[Smurof]

As I sit here in my castle looking into my hand-held mirror next to my gigantic mirror (joking, yes really joking, I don't have a hand-held anything), I'm wondering how many people use this available feature. I don't.

[+ GregM]

I do.

I do

 

1. I ignore 5-6 users, I think. Each for a different reason. I'm fairly a certain 2 or 3 no longer visit the forum anyway.

 

2. I've wondered if users know when they're ignored. Or if it shows somewhere on my profile. I ask because someone I'd never interacted with sent PM with a very accurate statement regarding the folks I ignore. How did he know?

I do. Only 1 member.

That's a different feature. I believe it is set by changing a privacy setting.

I don't...I tend not to take any of this too seriously.

I don't think it really works. It doesn't block or delete you seeing the other persons comments. Every other site I go to does that as well. I've apparently been blocked because the blocker regularly wants everyone to know they blocked me.

It works fine for me, almost too well. After ignoring, the ignored's comments become invisible to me. On a few occasions this has been humorous/confusing, because a third party was debating the ignored and seemed to be talking to himself.

[LaffingBear]

It blocks their comments... but prompts "show ignored content?"

 

Blocks their posts in any forum/list view.

 

However, does not prevent ignored members posts from appearing as "latest posts " identifier next to each forum on the home page list.

[Rudynate]

I use it.

[Populist Fury]

I don't use it, never have. Not here, or @ any other board I've been a member of in the past.

 

Everyone has the right to be wrong, offensive, & dumb sometimes.

That's my favorite thing about the serial blockers... They have to announce to the world that they're putting you on ignore, as if that's supposed to emotionally destroy you or something. I especially love it when they keep responding to you after announcing to everyone that you've been blocked.

I've been tempted, but never have used it. I'd find a "ignore this thread" function to be helpful.

[+ Autumnal]

I do.

Yes but just like you responded to my lovely comment the blocker will see my quote above so the person isn't completely invisible.

Good point. I see what you mean. On balance I’d say ignore is a good function for filtering out someone undesirable, even if it doesn’t totally prevent visibility in all scenarios.

[+ José Soplanucas]

Now you have to tell

[+ José Soplanucas]

I have never used it.

 

I am still to know someone who is not easy to ignore if I want to.

[+ Charlie]

I have never used it. If I want to ignore someone's post for some reason, I just don't read it. But tomorrow I may want to read a different post by that person.

[+ Kman]

I don’t use it but is there a difference between ignoring someone’s post and limiting access to your profile?

I think it works great. Out of sight, out of mind. I see the messages indicating the presence of ignored content and it's as thought they're not even there. I'm not as quick to use the 'ignore' feature as I used to be because I realized there's just no substitute for a thick hide and the only way to get one is to expose yourself.

[dcguy20]

I most certainly do, though I believe there are a couple of them who no longer post here.
