Ignore lists

If I click on a users name, I can add them to my Buddy list. Is it possible to get that same level of automation on the Ignore lists?

Would be useful. Thought about that myself, too - on other boards, that is, I don't Ignore people in EN World.

While the ignore list is a useful function, I'm not sure it's the sort of thing that ought to be 'promoted'. Also, I think it doens't get used that often (though I never use the Buddy list either--what does that actually do?).

Of course, I'm probably just being ignored so I might as well be talking about today's shopping list.

Yeah, people on the boards where I thought about it use theirs a lot more than EN World users, from what I've seen...

Buddy lists shows a + in who's online so you can find your Buddies easier on it. I think you can also send PMs to them more easily.

That would be a lovely feature to have. I know that every time I go into the rules forum I add another 2 or 3 people to my Ignore list.

I can scarcely believe how offended I am at all the posts in this thread. You're all going on my ignore list immediately.

And for those of you who posted twice...you're on the list twice. I'm looking at you, Big D.

(But seriously...I think if you want to ignore everything an individual posts, it should take a little work. You know, to make sure people are serious about ignoring, and not just impulse-ignoring because the button's in easy reach.)

For now, if someone uses Ignore much, I recommend saving this code somewhere:

http://www.enworld.org/forums/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=ignore&u=

Just paste in address bar, add user number, hit enter and you're set.

Just be careful when you click Buddy. You might ignore the wrong person.
