Ignore lists

[Nifft]

I'm not even on diaglo's ignore list

Me neither.

No one's on mine. I don't actually remember how to ignore someone off the top of my head.

I don't even know how to put people on ignore list....;

Here, with pictures.

I take people off now and again just to see if they have become tolerable to me. If not, back they go!

Same.

Cheers, -- N

If someone creates a thread, and you're ignoring them, does the entire thread not show up?

No it is visible, it just starts on post number 2 and the hover over function doesn't work.

This thread had made me review my ignore list and declare a unilateral amnesty, so I've removed everyone. I think if I just stay out of the Rules forum everything will be fine.

Now that I've learned how to use the ignore list, I notice that I can't ignore myself.

This is an egregious oversight, and seriously degrades the functionality of this forum!

I never use ignore lists; I have no idea if I'm on anybody else's.

Honestly, I don't really understand why you'd want to use them. Doesn't it make it confusing to read threads where you start seeing responses to posts that aren't visible to you? I'll apply my ignore function in my head, thanks.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list. So 0, which is probably around five or six names too short but oh well.

I figure I'm on a number of lists, at least ten or so. You say things that someone doesn't like and either they go bonkers or they ignore you, that's the way of the internet.

Exactly.

I dont understand this whole "i'm awesome because I dont use ignore list" thing. If we were in real space and someone was being an obnoxious ass or saying things that were really offensive or annoying to me I'd eventually be ignoring them there too.

Do people force themselves to hang around people that they dont like in real life?

Man, I woulda killed to be able to Ignore List my bitchy little sister. (Oh, and coworkers!)

Somebody who is a minion or a brown noser?

I have no one on my ignore list, but I wouldn't be surprised if several ignore me -- no real problems that way, just personal tastes.

Random people on messageboards have never bothered me as much as people in real life. If someone online is irritating me, I skip their post. Or read it and laugh at it. Or share it and laugh with other people. Or reply to it. If someone in the real world is annoying, it's not even half as easy.

:shrug: I don't really think the two situations are analogous at all.
