How many people do you have on ignore?

Cleopatra_

Out of curiosity, I just wondered how many people do ye have on ignore. Well I guess if you have me on ignore you won't be able to see this post!

I don't have anyone on ignore, even if someone annoys me I still prefer to see what they have to say. I wouldn't rule it out though if someone was persistently bothering me.

wexie

had to go check, none as it turns out.

That doesn't necessarily mean I take everyone's contributions equally but apparently I've yet to let someone get far enough under my skin to put them on ignore.

Yay me!!!

Bitches Be Trypsin

Nobody so far. If I don't like someone, it makes me even more curious about what they have to say :pac:

It’s easier to ridicule the muppets when you can see what they are saying.
Present company excepted and all that.

Sometimes I actually think I like to read posts by people who annoy me so I can get all riled up about it!

I have 2 people on ignore at the moment. Both of them are trolls. There was a third who just annoyed me but then they were modded* so I had to take them off.

*not an AH mod I would add

freshpopcorn

I am ignored by a good few but would never ignore anybody!

Sleeper12

I have none. Its pointless to do it on boards. They still see your posts, quote them & slag you off. Unless you have a block function where you can't see them & they can't see you then it's pointless imo

Thinkingaboutit

I used to have one or two, who don't post anymore, so none.

Purple Mountain

I don't even know where to get that function so it's wasted on me!

Yer Da sells Avon

I've never put anyone on ignore. I block people on Twitter all the time though. If anyone who I don't follow pops up uninvited in my mentions to tell me why I'm wrong about something, they usually get blocked.

Just remember if they’re ignoring your ass then they must be ignoranuses

It's more hassle to put someone on Ignore that to just scroll through their post.

I'd love to see a Leaderboard Table of the people who are most Ignored. I wonder would it change their behaviour?!

I'm dying to know who has me on ignore but it could be disheartening if it's lots of people or someone you didn't expect.

Wasn't even aware of an ignore option, sure I can't even unfriend yet on FB 🙄

Your Face

None. I don't like the idea of it.

Pa8301

No one. Sure half the craic here is reading posts and thinking "what a fooking moron that guy is". It makes me feel good about myself.

Badly Drunk Boy

I never felt the urge to ignore anyone. Same way I don't follow threads. I read what's in front of me.

Irish Guitarist

Years ago on the Ranting and Raving forum someone replied to one of my posts by quoting me and saying "FAIL". I then made a counter rant about idiots who quote posts just to say "FAIL".

I forgot about it until about 8 or 9 months later when he started leaving stupid comments on my profile and I kept getting notifications about them. At this point I couldn't even remember who he was until I searched through my old threads to see if I'd ever encountered him. After a few of these comments it started getting annoying so I put him on ignore. He remains the only person I've put on ignore.

The comments he left on my profile are gone by the way before anyone bothers looking.

This is a weird thread. It has no O.P. just replies! W.T.F. ?

erica74

How do you check? I'd say I have around 20 on there, maybe more. Between the abortion referendum thread and the pope thread, there's been a lot of crazies that I've had to make disappear. One of the best things about the mobile site is that when you put someone on ignore, they disappear, none of this "x has posted" stuff, they basically vanish into thin air, and rightly so:cool:

None and it will always be that way. Freedom of speech and all that. Too much silencing going on these days and I hope that I will always be adult enough to deal with an opinion I don't agree with rather than childishly putting them in a sealed box.

Franz Von Peppercorn

None. Totally pointless. Why block anybody on a debate forum. If they are harassing you report them.

~ 250.


25% trolls.


25% pure keyboard warriors & they win their own brilliant intractable arguments everytime


25% are ALWAYS thinking about Number One in their threads / posts


25% will support another poster irrespective if this person is totally wrong or not and will ignore other arguments against.

See if you can PM them. If you receive a message "gugleguy is not accepting messages from you" Then YOU are on their IGNORE List.

So basically anyone who disagrees with you. You should put yourself on the 3rd 25%. And there is me on ignore

Be better if they received a notification as soon as they were put on the ignore list.
"gugleguy has added you to their ignore list. You are a loser".

martingriff I've made a concession for ya. I will not put you on Ignore. rest assurred.

None. Everyone's point of view is valid, even if I don't agree with it!

Ah yes, a good smattering of my Ignore List have done time in the boards prison too. I "view post" to read their pleas and cries of self pity there.

Let’s not get carried away here, and say things we can’t take back. People sometimes say things on Boards that are just so wrong, you have to wonder if it hurts when they type.

46 on ignore, accumulated over the years. Just a handful are active posters on the threads I follow.

I don't ignore posters I disagree with, I tend to ignore posters who are deliberate trolls or those who refuse to engage, just sniping repetitively from the sidelines. And the occasional deluded lunatic who has proven themselves to be so out of touch with reality that there's no point responding.

That said, I usually browse boards on a PC, so I can still see when someone on my ignore list has posted something, and I will often view their post to see if there is anything in it worth taking them off ignore.

Then you point out the error of their ways. But don't ignore them.

That’s fine most of the time. But with some people, it can take you down a long and lonely road into a deep, dark, troll-infested forest, through a storm that would bring Teresa Mannion to the brink of despair and insanity.

I have nobody on Ignore. There are maybe 2 who I've been tempted to put there but I'm far too curious and it's all a bit "I don't like you so I'm going to lock you away". You can't do that in real life. It must be weird for the person being ignored attempting to engage with the person doing the ignoring because they obviously wouldn't know. Or are both hidden from the other?

Until a Mod tells you not to even your wit to them and to put them on Ignore.


I have two on ignore, I'd rather not but so be it.

lmimmfn

I don't have any, when I was younger I could get into heated arguments online and would use it on other forums, as I got older I have less time online and frankly don't really care if others disagree with me, I'm usually right anyway lol
