[QUOTE="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos, post: 9640610, member: 16668"] The concept of ignore lists is fine. If you don't want to listen to someone's nonsense, why should you? The implementation on this site, though, leaves something to be desired in my opinion. If someone decides that someone else's post are just too disturbing/alarming/boring/eyerolling/noisy, they should be free to have that person's posts disappear from the site for them, and to have that person lose the ability to respond to their posts. I don't philosophically agree with doing this; to me, part of life is recognising that not everyone is like you or will agree with you, or you with them. It's better to recognise those differences, and if not embrace and learn from them, at least accept that they exist and move on. Sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending they're not there... that is weird to me. Having said that, I fully support someone's right to ignore someone else. I think it's a poor decision, but that's neither here nor there; the point is, it's your decision. Where the implementation goes off course on this site though, is that the ignorer's decision suddenly impacts the ignoree's ability to enjoy the website. Because of someone else's choice, suddenly, blank spots appear in threads, making it difficult to follow the flow of conversation. Could we disable the reciprocal behaviour of the ignore feature?
