29 people on my ignore list. That probably seems like a lot. Many of these haven't been around here for years. Of the remainder, some just irritate me on some level I can't really explain, some have just ground me into the dirt with persistent negativity, a couple have one giant axe to grind over and over again, and just a couple of folks I plain don't want to have any interaction with.
Gak!
Wow. I sure hope that you're kidding.
Heck, even in the desolate wasteland that is UseNet, I only have perhaps a half-dozen or so folks on Ignore/Auto-Delete.

As an admin, I have none. Even so, if I wasn't able to temp-ban (or perma-ban) people for consistent jerkiness I'd probably still have only one or two. I have a slow boiling point, and I like reading the posts of even the occasional person who annoys me - if only to point and laugh.

Plus, there's never been anyone I want to ignore...I prefer the fighting.

None for me as well. I gets along with just about everyone. Never know who you're gonna wind up gaming with after all.

next april fool's day, Nightfall needs to tell us how his hat of d02 know no limit and OD&D(1974) is the only true game, while diaglo mentions Orcus and the Scarred Lands every chance he gets.

29 is the number on my list as well, and for many of the same reasons as you describe. Also, while it isn't as much of a problem here as it is on other boards, I'll add people to the list if their posts are continually difficult to read because they use a lot of internet text/text message style or writing styles that lack even the basics you pick up in elementary school.

Agreed. Even the worst trolls can still be amusing.

None on ignore currently.
That said, I have ignored three in the past. And not for being trolls, but for appearing in every thread and NOT being amusing, interesting or useful. But it was too much bother. I just scroll past now.
The trolls? Most of them I find amusing. Most, not all.
I have 0 on my list. I can just ignore them myself.
For those of you with people on your ignore list, how do you know that the people on your list don't post any more? If they're on your ignore list doesn't it stop you from being able to read there posts? Or does the ignore list just hide what that person says and you can choose to open their post and read it if you want to?

wow. That's some rant. That actually frightens me a little bit for so many reasons.
Yeah. One of my local friends read it and actually wasn't sure I was joking, which was kind of sad. I don't think I'm quite that much of a jerk in my actual posts.
Once I assured her that there was no CordyFan, and that I was not referring to any actual build of Season Four Wesley, she was greatly amused.
