Ignore List.

[Slime]

I've never had anyone on 'ignore' because I feel the thread would lose some fluidity .................. and I can't really be bothered.
However, it's obviously fairly popular so, I was wondering, how many of you use the Ignore List and how many people do you have on it?
I'm just curious.

Never used it. Never would use it.. Such a pointless exercise.. If I don't like someone enough to even think about "ignoring" them, then their opinions carry zero weight and I can quite happily read them with a knowing smile and then never think of them again.. Zen and the art of forum maintenance...

 

[fundy]

im less zen than Bluewolf lol, have 4 or 5 on ignore

it is annoying where a thread makes no sense where you can only see one side and even more annoying when you cant see a thread because its started by someone youve subsequently ignored!

 

[AmandaJR]

One and sometimes two (one pops on and off!). Also less zen-like and if I find myself getting constantly irritated then for me the best thing is to remove the cause!

I don't. I am on a car forum and put a particularly obnoxious bloke on it there, bit of a practice run for here . The problem, as plenty have alluded to, is that it wrecks a thread, it becomes disjointed, so I took him off after a couple of weeks. I learnt the art of passing over his posts without reading them and now I do the same for ones on here I find unpleasant.

I do understand why people use it though. Some posters are hard to ignore and what they post can be both unpleasant and boringly trolling. Shame really but such is social media and forums.

Yup,I use it and am happy as a pig In muck that the function is there. Ironically I think some of the people that I have had on ignore have had an infraction or two. So in my honest opinion and that’s all it is it ?. I feel justified. Does it disjoint a thread, of course it does. But does it stress me out reading personal insults. Nope. People tend to forget that in a day and age that copy and paste views are all the rage. Some people especially the old farts, there opinions are based upon experiences. You may well disagree, but you have not walked in there flip flops Which has helped to formulate there view.
Just as a side, when you have someone on ignore if someone replays to there thread you see it on an email. Seeing some of these reply’s endorses my view why I have them on ignore.

I've only got one, and what a delight having having them on it is. He's the sort of guy if you went to Tenerife, he has been to Elevenarife and Is and expert on everything no matter what and the classic pedant to boot, i wouldn't mind if he actually had any insight in real life but everything is from Google i would imagine. he also makes a habbit of replying to most stuff i post, usually disagreeing with what ever i put..

this guy adds nothing to any post, so no loss what so ever

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Dont deliberately have anyone on ignore, even if they do my head in. However, I have occaisionally found someone on there, and can only imagine that the forums jumpy nature has sometimes meant someone has been clicked "ignore" rather than what I meant to click on.

 

[Robster59]

Just the one who was so opinionated and put on so much BS and totally inaccurate "facts" that I put him on ignore to enjoy the forum more.

My ignore list is based on geographic location.

 

[Orikoru]

Nah, I would never put anyone on ignore, that's such a pointless feature. It means threads they've been involved in often don't make any sense, or you see people repeating the same thing that they've said, and it's to absolute zero benefit since I can happily ignore someone talking rubbish with my own volition if I choose to. I can't imagine being so sensitive as to physically block out all of somebody's words to be honest.

I use it as sometimes life's too short. And as for having to follow a thread then they ain't exactly Ian Rankin, so you don't need to read every post. I don't feel I lose anything from the threads as I know what they would have said anyway. And as for who's on it then the usual yurt eating bleeding heart liberals who want to do the country down, Bluewolf, Patricks148, Pauldj,

I reckon you might get 3 fewer Christmas cards next year ?

 

[Deleted member 16999]

I’ve got 3 or 4, one hasn’t posted for a long time so he may of left, as Hacker says above, easy to work out what they’ll be saying.

Normally the people I have on ignore are the ones I wouldn’t talk to in a social situation anyway.

Happy to be put on ignore as well as it stops some of the borderline cases replying to me.

 

[chrisd]

I've never put anyone on ignore but might put myself on it as I'm getting older and more opinionated ?

 

[Lazkir]

No one, I just read some things posted on here and laugh and shake my head. Then I move on.
Life's too short.

 

[Imurg]

Surprised nobody has replied to this yet..........

 

[Lazkir]

Did someone say something?

 

[Jamesbrown]

Don’t ignore or block anybody on social media. They’re just words.
If I have to place people in an internet jail then it would probably be time I cancel my ISP.

 

[AmandaJR]

I'd like a league table - who is on ignore most
