On number of ignores

[Morrus]

One interesting tool is that we mods can see how many people have ignored or blocked a specific user. Here’s a look at the top few, with the names cropped out.

I have to wonder with so many people blocking some users, the site must seem very quiet to them.

Of course the easy solution is not to consistently behave in a manner that 130 people would just prefer it if you weren’t around. But other than that, it’s a curiosity.

Do you get a prize at 200?

Do you get a prize at 200?

Pretty sure I'd kick you out long before then!

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado.
Anybody wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives.
Third prize is, you’re kicked out.

Man, I'd pay double on my Community Supporter account to see the names on that list.

Mostly I ignore the weird political ranters who don't contribute much, which does make some conversations hilarious to skim through, though I can tell exactly what is being said.

I wonder if I could spin this post into some speculation at a revival of d20 Modern, combining Transformers and My Little Pony in a massive cross media revival...

Wait, there are other posters on this forum?

It did make me laugh that I can see 5 posts in this thread, but the numbering says 7

Is it possible to see how many people are blocking yourself?

I normally send a note explaining why before I block someone. But to be honest I have no idea how many people I’ve cast repulsion on myself. I hope it isn’t 130!

There are a few people I’d consider being ignored by a badge of honor.

I'm honestly not surprised! I once got on another poster's Ignore list when I sent them this in a chat message:

You are absolutely free to disagree with me. But I do ask you do so in a respectful way, whether you are quoting authors or not.

If that's the threshold some folks have for ignoring other posters... Well, it just seems like a very low threshold to me!

How long do you leave between sending the note and blocking them? Because once the block is in place, PMs don't go through.
