[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 5585750, member: 275"] Gonna slide this over to Meta. Yes, the "ignore" function works just that way. I never used it on ENW, even before I became a mod, but I've seen it in action over on CM, and it is weird. One time, I put two people on ignore, and relented a few weeks later when I realized I was clicking to read their posts anyway when they were in a thread I was interested in. It was defeating the purpose, so I've not used it since. Really, it's a tool for those who may have poor impulse control, yet have the wisdom to understand their poor impulse control. :) It allows you to not see posts from someone you know is going to rub you the wrong way, and that you'd be tempted to respond to in a less than grandma-friendly way. We're all about helping you help yourselves here at ENW. :) [/QUOTE]
