[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8116504, member: 12731"] That said, there is real value in an Ignore feature that works both ways (not only are the ignored party's posts blocked for you, but your posts are also blocked for them). It is no coincidence other major forums offer this form of Ignore/Block functionality. Seeing how popular and well-used Xenforo is, it surprises me they don't offer two-way Ignore as an easily implemented official function. [I]Edit:[/I] I went back and checked the earlier thread. Apparently Xenforo does support two-way blocking. However, apparently there's a compatibility issue with the app (Tapatalk) that at least then prevented Morrus from enabling the feature. [I]Edit II:[/I] I accept that there's value in the current implementation as well, especially the way ignored people can't know they are being ignored. With two-way ignore, obviously the ignored party can find out they're being ignored (such as when a third party replies to a post you can't see). Allowing each user to choose how their personal ignore list works (switching between one-way and two-way ignores) is the best way to handle this. [/QUOTE]
