Ignore List -- WTF??

[Krill]

Well, it's not a general thing (only a handful of users have more than two or three users on ignore; you two have two of the top 3 counts by my measure). And, it was that way on the old forum as well, as far as I can tell (you both have similar sized lists on the old forum), if I understand the ignore list structure properly on both forums.

So... either an odd database glitch, or too much clicking on links Krill or Asher provided a while ago, or ... something else. Nothing obvious to me, though.

Thanks...but that wasn't me. I know Asher did it, and maybe AC, but I only put Ben on ignore back in December (God I was so stupid not to do it any sooner...)

As I recall this happened a few times before when old threads were bumped and people reported posters being on their ignore lists that they never put there.

Seems like a very odd bug.

It has something to do with old posters whose log ins were deleted, I believe. FE, Hodad for me is on ignore (or was) as is the original MarkG login.

And v 2.0 had it also.

[Straybow]

My ignore list is empty.

I suspect that it's the new ban. Instead of banning a poster, you just put him on everyone's ignore list.

I've got 9 on my Ignore List as well, and I've never added anyone to it. Not to mention that I don't recognize any of these names, and if they had PO'ed me to the point of ignoring them, I'd like to think that I'd remember.

# JDMSonic

Seems to be happening only to us older posters, though... these young folks haven't reported it.

Is it possible that those are the people who have YOU on ignore, not the other way around?

I would like to ignore everyone on this site except for the Carnegie Mellon whiz, the neofascist student from NYU, the gay jobless consultant, and the physics virgin. Is there a bizarro ignore list that could perform this function for me?

[SlowwHand]

Ignore everyone? I'm part of everyone. You don't mean....

[Wiglaf]

Who did you think I meant when I said gay jobless consultant?

[DrSpike]

Good - those computers won't fix themselves.

[Wiglaf]

Not even Ghandi could get a job that fast. I call bull****.

[DrSpike]

It's possible Asher could have been going for the sympathy vote I suppose. I demand evidence!

I'm insulted that you don't consider my spamming abilities, although temporarily retired, worthy of ignoring
