Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I don't have anyone on ignore. Of course I'll roll my eyes at the odd post but I'm always curious to read what other people have to say. Even the long essay style posts sometimes gets my attention. I really love trying to figure people out so those who most of you can't stand, I find fascinating. This place is like a really large scale psychology research centre

I've two notorious 'groomers' on ignore, and two I'll probably put on ignore in due course but I want to see what they come up with next. One is a particularly hate-filled character, the other a new incarnation of an sad oddball. Its hard to look away sometimes.
I managed to accidentally delete some friends a while ago, I hope they haven't noticed
What do you mean by "groomers"? People who pm in a predatory fashion? Like someone who sends pm's to most people to see who bites?0 -

I couldn't agree more with the 1st post.
In fact, I've thought of a different solution....
Labels.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could add a personal label against a user that only you can see?
I find myself not remembering usernames and reading a lot of bollox from a poster to find that, actually it matches their wacky view on a previous topic. I just had forgotten for the 1st 5 pages.
Entering a comment against their name would help without resorting to ignoring.0 -

I'd ask OP what do they do on this subject on other social media - is same behavior used in here ?
But about me: I'd never thought of having an ignore posters list - but I would be doing the ignoring at higher level - not all threads/boards interest me enough to spend my time reading them.
If I get interested in a hot thread lets say few times a week, I do try to keep up with most content from it: I would ignore the junk when I see it, and remember only the information from the good post(er)s 0 -

I must say, there are plenty of posters I disagree with vehemently on various topics but those six are especially disagreeable posters in my opinion.
It’s particularly great not to have to see or read Graces7’s self righteous guff and pjohnson’s pointless, constant jibes at other posters.

As the OP I'll answer ya!
On other social media, I have control. My accounts are set to private and as such the only people I disagree with are people I actually know personally.
Boards is less a social media platform than most as it allows and even encourages a degree of anonymity similar to Twitter and other "nickname" social media platforms.
The main "public" SM I use is Twitter, and granted on that anyone can see my musings, and I can see theirs.
I don't have anyone blocked, but unfortunately the way Twitters algorithim seems to work, all to often it descends into either a self reinforcing echo chamber or outright vitriol.
Debate seems to be becoming a thing of the past, every topic rapidly becomes polarized and extreme with no nuance or grey areas left to inhabit.
Its a trend of arguing to extremes rather than building consensus or compromise that is becoming much more widespread IMO.0 -

Take FB for example: I had in mind the scenario where a private account follows public other social media accounts (magazines/businesses for example): you'd have no control on what gets posted and/or commented on those pages by individual users (users you are not connected to). Guess you can always label/ignore even individual accounts (that you are not connected to), based on public arguments you had with them on ... public pages.
In my case, I'd personally only go on this path once personal boundaries are pushed. No need for it really in here.0
