On number of ignores

[generic]

Honestly, I'll be controversial and say that I find the idea of a thread founded upon the basis of gloating over and smugly fiddling with the idea of blocking and ignoring people quite repulsive.

I get the practical use, but what's the purpose of glibly sneering over the matter when all that seems to arise is an overabundance of bruised egos and worsened relations?

Perhaps it's the nature of my upbringing, though, just seems a bit out of place and poor taste.

Yeah, I agree that a thread about gloating, smugly fiddling(?), and glibly sneering would be a terrible thread.

Well, as condescending as your response is, I'll be brief:

What is the point of this thread other than to bring to light the idea of ignoring people to cut off their influence? I'm certain everyone's aware that there are some users whose contributions are very unpopular.

Seems like needless provocation intermingled with comments about how you "only see X messages despite there being Y counted", and from a moderator, no less.

[I seem to recall multiple moderation notes having been made on not announcing ignores and blocks in the past, so why should a Moderator gloat that multiple users in the thread are ignored?]

It has a purpose, but it’s not smugly gloating or glibly sneering. Thanks though!

And that purpose would, in your opinion, be?

And do you have any response to the difference between moderator expectations of not announcing ignores and the moderator behavior of announcing that there are ignored users?

 

[Morrus]

And do you have any response

No.

 

[generic]

No.

That's awfully disappointing, considering past moderation principles. Am I to assume that the example thus set is that I can now announce my ignores publicly without fear of retribution?

You can assume anything you want, but the policy remains the same.

You can assume anything you want, but the policy remains the same.

Alright, glad that's cleared up.

I feel, however, that moderators should set an example and follow it, though you're, of course, welcome to believe otherwise.

And ironically, I see 246 out of 250 at this point, and he said I was way up on the list.
