You have an ignore thread?

[Dino]

I'm heartbroken! I know we can't all get on at the same time, but the thought of having an option to ignore members seems appaling.
Am I on anybody's ignore list? (Can you read this post if I am?)
I may disagree with you,one of these days, but believe you have a right to express yourself.
How could you?
Suddenly, the forum takes a darker turn.........

It's less to do with self-expression than simply an option that's been there by default since the forum got set up, and one which is on lots of other forums too. I very much doubt it's used very much here, as everyone seems to get on in this forum - in fact as a Mod, I can't recall a single spat or serious disagreement in the last six months.

So no "darker turn" at all then!

Si.

I'd like to reiterate that it is the choice of the user to ignore other members if they want to, so our staff shouldn't be held to task for that.

Word of warning: I do have drama Queen tendencies!

[Wayne]

I for one had no idea that this function existed, so i'm definitely not ignoring anyone. Yet.

Who said that?

The only person who really annoyed me so much I wanted to ignore them was on another site, and they were a mod, so I wasnt allowed to ignore them!

I'm sure I would have used an ignore option on Logopolis Metropolis or OG back in the day!

I generally ignore both of those in their entirety.

[Si Hunt]

It's a bizarre option really. If there's a troublemaker on the forum, I'd want to know what he was saying in case he was talking about me!!

Si.

[Arisia]

I imagine you folks on PS Staff don't use it even when you want to, so you can keep eye on everyone. That's my personal policy over at OG. Of course, I'm perfectly capable of using the 'Ignore button' inside my head whenever I want.

[Lissa]

I've seen another forum where a few members actually have a screen shot of their ignore list as their signature. Just so everyone knows. That way they win.

Or something.

[Matthew T]

I'm another one who doesn't use it, even on OG or Digital Spy, which are full of nutjobs. It's all part of the fun seeing ranting posts!

[Si Hunt]

I'd admit I didn't even know it was there, if that didn't make me look like a cretin.

Si.

[Wayne]

I remember seeing something it when sending PM's, but i just assumed it was for blocking people from sending you PM's, like i had to do on the old forum with Jeno Solar Brother. I didn't realize there was such a thing as being able to ignore people on the actual forum itself!

[Dirk Gently]

I get the feeling people ignore me sometimes but I never ignore peoples posts.
I read everything...well nearly everything.

[Pip Madeley]

Sorry Tim, what were you saying?

[Wayne]

I read everything...well nearly everything.

I used to do at one time, but there's quite a lot of threads i don't bother with these days.......
