Your Ignore list? How is it?

banie01 · 13-11-2018 2:34pm #1

I've been dossing around boards for quite a long time now, 11yrs plus.
I'll be the 1st to say I'm far from a prolific poster, but I do browse, contribute where I can and ask a question or 2 when I'm stuck.

In all the time I've been posting here, I always for the most part try to avoid putting other posters on "ignore".
For a few reasons, but to my mind because I want to ensure that I try and take in all sides of a topic, try and make reasonable arguments based on other posters info and assumptions....

Lately however, I find myself looking at certain posters...
And thinking, "I hope someone puts bleach on your window, you window licking troglodyte!" along with other less shareable thoughts.
I find myself often exasperated by the repeated and blasé stupidity on display(Not that I'm a genius, far from it).

So I find myself hovering more and more over the ignore button, to lift those irritances out of my boards experience rather than viewing them let alone even engaging with them.

I don't know if its a symptom of my impending middle age?
Or my inner irritable bástárd slowly overcoming my thinning skin?

What say you Boardsies?
Ignore them? Or just blast 'em with piss and batter silent them with an actual Jaguar?

Ignore list! Life's too short!

Franz Von Peppercorn · 13-11-2018 2:42pm

0 people. Pointless to have lots on ignore in a discussion forum. I often disagree with a person on thread A and agree on thread B.

I also don’t really remember usernames anyway.

Captain Obvious · 13-11-2018 2:44pm

Too many rereg accounts for an ignore list to work.

jimgoose · 13-11-2018 2:44pm

Nay, best by far to tear the fat, braying mallet head of their ignorance off them and shit your flawless logic and impeccable information down their miserable greasy necks.

retro:electro · 13-11-2018 2:45pm

None. Although I wish I was on a few.

Captain Obvious · 13-11-2018 2:45pm

It would be much better to get no warning on thread.

beertons · 13-11-2018 2:47pm

Nobody answer yet?

wakka12 · 13-11-2018 2:47pm

Nobody. The point of discussion forum is you meet people with opinions that differ to your own. Fair enough blocking trolls but they are usually swiftly removed by moderators anyway

corner of hells · 13-11-2018 2:51pm

Nobody , I'd probably be better ignoring myself.
I can't even remember what threads I'm arguing on at the best of times.

banie01 · 13-11-2018 2:57pm

I know I'm answering my own question here.
I don't have anyone on ignore.... YET

But I do find some posters are raising my hackles on a more and more regular basis.
Probably more a me issue than a them issue tho :P

irishguitarlad · 13-11-2018 2:58pm

0, I don't know or want to know how to do It, if I wanted an echo chamber I'd use Facebook or Twitter.

I laughed.... but with a distinct note of fear.

Empty list. The posters I think are dopey bolloxes one day seem perfectly likeable the next, and vice versa.

Mookie Blaylock · 13-11-2018 3:00pm

Been here many years, I open and shut accounts quite frequently....never put anyone on ignore.....
But I'm on a few people's

mikhail · 13-11-2018 3:00pm

Dense.

nim1bdeh38l2cw · 13-11-2018 3:00pm

1 person, Victor

Gimme A Pound · 13-11-2018 3:06pm

None ever - over several years here. Don't see the point. Disrupts the flow and you'll see quotes from them.

Different on other social media platforms where you can actually fully block people/pages - I get that but that's not the effect of the Boards ignore button.

Just ignore people by not responding/reacting to them.

That is ambiguous? Life to short to tolerate eejits or life too short to ignore folk?

Life's just too short to be getting upset from strangers comments on the internets

I agree totally but easier to ignore the rest of the verbage that they will undoubedly utter ....

D3V!L · 13-11-2018 4:53pm

Who said that ??? :eek:

13-11-2018 4:55pm

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

Rory28 · 13-11-2018 4:57pm

I put a troll on it once. Then I kept reading their posts anyway so it was a waste of clicks.

razorblunt · 13-11-2018 4:58pm

Aongus von Bismarck.

Another poster called Esel was on it too, every post was written in poetry style.

Dravokivich · 13-11-2018 5:00pm

Never saw the point in it myself. Spambots get banned. Trolls get banned. I just scroll through stuff I'm not interested in.

retro:electro · 13-11-2018 5:01pm

Putting a certain poster on ignore would be a sure fire way of reducing the thread pages from 150 to about 5. Scrollin scrollin scrollin

CinemaGuy45 · 13-11-2018 5:02pm

I told long time user End of the Road he was on my list by I was lying I have nobody on the ignore list.:D

Boom_Bap · 13-11-2018 5:03pm

Thank this post if you have me on ignore
