    I can see this thread taking a dark and seedy turn down the lane of "personal grievances".

    :p

    I'm entirely capable of ignoring shít without the help of technology. I'm not so sensitive that I need to be screened from differing opinions lest I implode in a fit of pique.

    Unless I have missed it somewhere, boards is missing a league table of posters with the most ignores.

    Is there one?

    I had to check but they're all banned except one. That one posted three times and hasn't since. I'd just assumed it was a rereg . To be fair, they probably were

    Most ignored posters or posters who ignore the most people?

    I've been playing alt-right bingo and anyone that gets me a BINGO gets on the ignore list.

    Except for that one poster who commented about crypto islamofascists, which I thought was fantastic.

    There is accusing people of trolling simply because they have a contrarian opinion, and then there is saying people who use the ignore function cannot handle different opinions to theirs. The second one is becoming the new first one imo.

    I don't use the ignore function here, but people don't always object to posts/posters simply because they have different opinions to them! The way that line keeps being trotted out is pretty dishonest.

    It's how they express those opinions, how they behave. E.g. if they cannot post without throwing snide digs at people or even blatant insults, or whatabouting/deflecting, putting them on ignore is not down to them having opinions you don't agree with. *They* are the ones who cannot handle opposing opinions.

    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 :D

    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?

    An Ignore List?! On Boards?! I don't think I knew there was such a thing.

    Buttt how would it work?!? Like, if somebody quoted somebody else in their own post, if the quoted part of the post was just left out / blank / null or whatever would that render the quoting function /purpose in-valid and pointless.


    I have to say, there is one person, - I've no idea if they're young or old, but I can NEVER make head nor tail of their blocks of texts or what the heck they are talking about!! And like that's coming from me who regularly writes Essay-style long-winded drawn-out posts, so I would have a good tolerance for others doing the same! It's just one person that comes to mind that writes in blocks of words. I don't know if it's a grammar thing, or traditional old Irish conversational wording or what.... But I just can not for the life of me, make out what they're trying to say!!

    If someone has a long ignore list it's a sign that they have issues, theu gravitate towards hostility.

    If the person on ignore is quoted you can still see their post as far as I know.

    I use it all the time. It's very therapeutic, especially when you come across a post from some ar*ehole who you know is not open to reason or argument. I'll more than likely click on their posts anyway when I come across them, but the fact that I've got them on ignore is just a reminder not to engage with them.

    I don't have anyone on ignore. Seems a bit much. Most of the truly obnoxious are easily avoided or don't last very long.
