    Ignore List - a Question

    While I was going thru some old threads earlier today, I noticed some posters was 'ignored.' I was puzzled because I haven't placed anybody on my ignore list. So I paid my first visit to my ignore list and imagine my surprise when I found that I have 1,432 pages of people on ignore.

    Could anybody explain this?

    Cheers

    Do we have a DrSpike challenge for this one?

    It has been explained before. These posts were made by old posters before the settlerII I think. Or something like that.

      People used to be able to register in a different way, and this happens a lot with old threads/posters...

      1,432 pages is most of 'poly though

      /me opens another tab to check *

      Only 1 person on my list though, but I still get ignored people when I check the old threads (I assume you mean the ones you searched up for me from 1999 and before on SMAC?)

        The person who opened that Pirates/Aquantic Factions advantage thread I posted in yours (markjonthan or something) was 'ignored.' That's how I found out.

          Yeah I have them "ignored" too, but they're not on my ignore list

          I guess the admin are too busy taking my euros right now to worry about this though

            Most people are ignoring MarkG's posts (only the ones from that old time period of course).

              1,432 pages is way overkill. My ignore list only features those few people I have actually put on ignore.

                I've had posts get ignored, but I've never seen people get put on the ignore list...

                  You don't even get pages on your ignore list.

                  The textboxes contain the people on your ignore list... This... "To view the complete members list, click here" ... shows the entire member list, NOT the members you have on ignore.

                  You almost certainly don't have anyone on your ignore list (if you did, you'd have noticed the names in the textboxes and wouldn't have clicked that link)...

                  The reason some posters appear to be ignored is because those are old threads, and those are members who probably aren't registered anymore (or somehow had their account changed in the mean time).

                  It's a known forum fluke (has been asked many times before), and has nothing to do with your ignore list.

                  (edit: ahem... But HongHu already said most of that )

                      It happens when the account the post was made from has been deleted. The forum automatically sets everyone to ignore that poster because they have been deleted.

                          Thanks Skanky, I had just run across one of those and wonder if that was the cause.
