The ignore feature.

[DuckRyder]

So the ignore here seems to be set on "stun" if a user is ignored you still see their likes and if they are quoted. I visit another site on the same software where they are GONE... it is as if they do not exist. no likes, no quotes - gone... in fact if they post a new thread the WHOLE THREAD is gone...

Can we get at least the option to set the ignore feature to "kill".?

I just ignored you, went back to the topic list (in General Board Information) and this thread didn't appear. Looks like it's working like you want it to (for me).

yep i tested it out and it works like that for me too.

Well if everyone else is doing it, i might as well ignore DuckRyder too! j/k

For me I can see that an ignored member has been quoted, but not whatever they posted. It does help explain some of the retorts I can see.

I've never understood being so intolerant that you have to ignore someone...

You see a blurb about poster being ignored. It is funny that over 20+ years and many different boards, I had to come here to find the one and only person who has earned the right to be ignored by me. I speculate I am not the only one that ignores him. K

Isn't that for each person to decide ? Options are nice !

I have one person on ignore and I can see when their posts are quoted.

or lacking the will/mental power to not let someone's internet posting rile you up. On an oil/auto forum of all places. That is highly regulated against R/S/P.
lol

Funny, same here. One person in over 20 years of forums across various interests and vehicles is here. It works well but you do see that they have commented or have been quoted but good enough for me.

It has nothing to do with tolerance. Like most I come here for enjoyment and relaxation. If someone has established themselves as a dufus or a pot stirrer they can be ignored. I wish more members would use the feature, it would certainly curtail some of the bickering that goes on.

That said, I have been here for over 10 years and I have a whopping 4 people on ignore.

My "ignore function" on/off button is located between my ears. That's goes for in real life too.

Same here... Overkill? Overkill..... you there? Can you see this post?

 

[HangFire]

For me, the ignore feature saves me the time and mental effort of reading a post, preparing mentally to respond, and then realizing OH it is "that one person" and then spinning down instead of responding- since I rarely read the poster's name first, the quoting feature usually takes care of that for me.

And for me, it's only one person as well.

As for intolerance, it's not the opinions that bother me. It's the lack of respect for all other opinions, and their holders.

Maybe there should be a board algorithm that just automatically bans someone when they get 20 or more "ignores".

Absolutely not. Then you get trolls practiced in setting up multiple accounts to leverage that to abuse the feature, or when the topic is controversial like politics, packs of rabid extremists trying to censor others. Granted that's something that occurs far more on some other sites.

 

[DuckRyder]

I know for a fact the ignore on this software can be extremely aggressive, I'm not sure why it isn't implemented that way.

Frankly, if you've spewed sufficient ignorance to make it to my ignore list then I don't care if you "like" it or not. I mean if you admitted to stealing auto parts and lying about it when customers came back, do I need to know if you "like" something? No - particularly if you are so indiscriminate that you would likely "like" a thread about someones dog (or grandmother) passing away. How about if you asked how to defraud Audi on a corrosion warranty claim? Nope don't need that either.

After many years of being on different types of message forums,BITOG is the only one I have found the ignore feature useful and it's for one individual.
