Ignored users

I wonder how long it'll take for somebody who didn't notice the change and whose ignore list is over 9000 to start this Meta thread: "All the threads are empty! Is EN World broken?"

Diaglo already knows about the change.

It seemed silly to let you ignore someone then effectively say "nyah nyah, they just posted!"

No big deal, but I did prefer it the other way, if for no other reason than sometimes I'd see a partial quote and I could go back and see the whole thing.

Huh. This whole thread and not a single "empty thread" joke....

... Seriously. someone should've made an ignore joke by now!

Just kidding, Jdvn1. I see your post up there. Just having fun at the expense of someone having fun at the expense of others. And yes, there's logic in that somewhere.

EDIT: I did just think of an honest question, although I don't have anyone on my ignore list.

If I ignore someone - say Jdvn1 - and someone who asn't ignored Jdvn1 quotes Jdvn1 - say Piratecate - do I see the quote in Piratecat's post or not?

... What are you implying there?

I believe you'd see the quote normally. Otherwise, something would have to happen if Piratecat just used BB code to make a fake quote by me, as in:

A pirate and a cat? How is that possible?

Too much chinese food. You are what you eat.

I seem to recall seeing quotes from people I've ignored quoted in other people's posts, but I honestly can't say yes or no for certain. I think yes though.

[EDIT] Just checked real quick, and yes you do.

Since noone here can see me, I proclaim that I am taking over this thread.

Man, that was a lame cricket match today.

yes.


the big change comes when you try and report the quoted material. you can't. you have to take the quotee off ignore to report the stuff they wrote.

Now that's funny!

Thanks for the lesson from your own experience! Of course, if I wanted to find out I guess I could have looked for where to find this 'ignore' feature ... not that I've had much need, of course.

Nothing, really. I just happened to use the names of the two people I figured would be the least likely to be offended by being used in that example. Guess I was wrong ...

Nice examples of fake quotes, FWIW. I was greatly amuzed.

Oh yes, quite so. See, I've been scarred forever.

Well, I don't have a better theory for how it's possible... That's probably a topic for a different (OT) thread.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on as well. I kept getting these weird situations where I would click a thread and see all these responses to a post--a lengthy post--that was simply missing. After a while I figured out what these threads had in common: the OP was on my ignore list.

It would be nice if thread-starting posts were left out of this plan, if only to save me clicking back and forth to find the "first page" of discussion I obviously missed when I clicked on the link to the "second page" by mistake.
