Sounds like a feature idea: check how many members ignore you. A counter in the user control panel perhaps? That'd be a good indicator if people dislike you (which probably means you should change your behaviour). I would rather know how many (if) members ignore me than live in the dark.

Diaglo, last week, responded to one of my threads asking someone to quote me in their reply so he could see what I said for him to respond to. What kind of person responds to a post from someone he's ignoring? And why ask someone to quote the ignored person so you can see what they said? Proves to me the boy is just insane.

If I add someone to my ignore list, I'll usually mention it my response to what prompted me to ignore them. Figure I should let them know I've turned off their channel so they don't expect anymore responses from me.

Ironically, I did this recently, and the ignored person mentioned my ignoring them in at least two other later threads. I know because others quoted my ignored person. Kind of funny, really.

I'm on the opposite end of that spectrum. I couldn't care less who ignores me.

Quoted for the benefit of all those who have reveal on their ignore list.

Publicizing your ignore list is like publicizing the explicit reasons for your divorce -- kinda tacky, and in the end, people don't really wanna know about it.

But then, tact is a dying art, IMO...

I don't ignore anyone. Don't really care if someone's ignoring me. Just keep your ignore list to yourself if you use it.

I would strongly encourage people not to publicize their ignore list. That just doesn't seem very civil to me, and certainly doesn't seem productive.

That's my feeling as well. You just don't talk about who is on your ignore list.

Well, Psionicist was talking about the number of people, not who. That may be an interesting number to track, as long as that number remains private. If 10,000 people have me on their ignore list - maybe I'm doing something wrong. But that's not a pressing issue, and if a poster does something wrong all the time, he'll have other indicators.

I use the ignore list, but I don't feel obligated to tell people I'm ignoring that I'm ignoring them because that would get in the way of the practice of ignoring them.

Keep your dirty laundry in the hamper, I say.

I usually put people on ignore, then take them off after a few weeks once I've forgotten why I hated them. I'm more likely to tell someone they are not on ignore.

I do think ignore can lead to a lot of confusion, double posts, and general havoc in threads.

As for posting to ask someone to quote a post from someone on their ignore...take them off, read the post, put them back on. Lazy.
