The "Ignore" Feature

[Wezil]

No names please (I'd like the thread to stay open more than a second or two).


NOTE: If you have Wezil on "Ignore" now would be a good time to rectify that.



Do you use it and how much?

I like the option of being able to ignore but I don't like to use it. I find very few people to be so insufferable that I just can't bear to see their posts and I've never had more than 1 or 2 people on "ignore" at any one time.

How about you?

I have one poster on ignore, but it is useless because he says things so mind-numbingly stupid he gets quoted anyway.

[Unimatrix11]

I have so far refrained from using it, ever. Been tempted many times, though.

[Wezil]

That is actually another good reason not to use it. It won't always work anyway.

I put a poster on the list after he posted a page long message of the same phrase over and over... I couldn't be bothered scrolling through that kind of spam.

Ditto.

I enjoy the mind numbingly stupid posts. They are usually good for a laugh and I feel no compulsion to respond to them.

Seems like I used it once, but not for long and I can't remember for whom. Now I don't use it because I have no problem scrolling past certain posters' posts, and if it's part of a long back and forth, I typically wind up looking at it anyway, to try to get some kind of context for the bat**** insane parts.

Then there's that.

[Kontiki]

Never use it. There are certain people I tend to not pay attention to, but I don't have anyone formally on ignore.

[Q Classic]

I refuse to use it.

[Aeson]

Never used it (except when tricked by LS). I don't see any point to an ignore feature on a site like this. Flood control takes care of the main problem. There are not posters consistently posting things that are outrageously not-work-safe (something the mods/rules have been good at dealing with).

A tiny bit of self-control, and/or a healthy sense of humor (able to laugh off stupid stuff) does the trick much better than ignore.

Classic.

[Theben]

Tried using it a couple of times, but it never really worked so I gave up.

[Kuciwalker]

I have 16 people right now. It's amazing how much nicer the forum is.

[onodera]

I do not use it. I believe in freedom of your speech.
