How many people do you have on ignore?

Summer wind

I’ve nobody on ignore mainly because I can’t be arsed.

I know one poster has me on ignore for certain(and I know they are more).
They took a screen shot saying you ignore this user and then posted in a comment.
Then deleted it straight away. I'm not sure that they relies I can see deleted comments.

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.

I've never put anyone on ignore. If I can't read their posts, how do I know if they're talking about me?

They want to RUN before they can TODDLE in the scheme of online discussion forums. The sugar has gone straight to the head. Pure Hubris.

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:

Just checked, 34 on my ignore list.

OldMrBrennan83

No idea and don't know how you check. There's 3 that I know of but there's probably a few more.

And from posts today I know 1 of my 2 is among your list.

And one that is long overdue being on mine too.

Someone has to be able to point out their nonsense though.

There should have been a poll with this.
Like so:

<10 people on ignore: a nice boardsie

<100 people on ignore: boardsie who plays it safe

<200 people : boardsie is pussyfoot

>200 people on ignore: boardsie is cliquey and prurient. That's me. I'm classy!😊

Why is the opening post on this empty?

Dont know the exact figure.

I block Nazi sympathisers, but as no one claims to be one, it must be 0

Already been done, you can actually put me on ignore now

You might as well start your own blog.

Insane. What’s the point. Are you here to agree with people who agree with you.

Come on. This isn’t an American campus. It’s an Irish Internet forum - standards are higher. Debate is encouraged.

7 Seconds...

I have no one on mine's either, its not something I ever think about.

I shall promptly move on to the You are talking to a Forester thread and ask him if he feels like he sometime can't see the wood for the trees.

It surely will be gone as well.

34 :eek:

To me that seems like you are creating your own little echo chamber.

None on my ignore list.

This sense of one ignoring one another is ridiculously annoying. If one thinks another is ignoring him/her please think again what might the reason the other individual is ignoring you. They could have gotten a job perviously they haven't had before or maybe are working longer hours than pervious and aren't in contact as much as you would like them to be. Then it turns into a a game of you purposely ignoring them and the other person becomes very confused.

I dont care. Don’t even recogise you as a poster. Just don’t see the point.

I mean a quick search sees you answering somebody who is ignored by you because someone else quoted her. She then can’t reply in a way that you can see. So your ignore doesn’t block her from you (because of the quote system) but it blocks her from replying to you in a way you can see, unless that too is quoted.

Pointless.


(Given her age and infirmities I’d give that poster some leeway too.)

That’s been done a few times. And he answered it. He can in fact see the woods for the trees.

No surprise there as trees are literally made of wood.

Tell me how

Just the one.

I don't necessarily dislike them. Don't even really disagree with their view, but, their posts (on the thread I encountered them the most) always struck me as humblebragging and every time I read them I was rolling my eyes. They seem to be universally liked by others who interact with them so this is definitely a me thing.

Several I disagree with and even dislike but I choose not to ignore them because I think choosing to ignore somone with a different view is why echo chambers are now such a problem.

Sciprio

I don't have anyone on ignore as i don't spend too much time here so it makes no difference. I have better things to be doing rather than making lists of bold people.

Ted_YNWA

Never had anyone on ignore. There have been a few posters over the years whose views annoyed me in a few forums I browsed it.

So if I have someone on ignore they can't reply to me? Is it not the other way around? I can't see their posts but they can see mine. I can reply to them but they won't see the reply.

Wow ... are there even 34 people on Boards these days?

Seriously do threads not end up making little sense to you, with so many blocked?!

paw patrol

always thought people who go to the hassle of ignoring posters are childish and a bit precious.

although I don't use twitter I heard on Twitter the righteous had something called repeal-shield where they could block users who were listed as being pro-life...
to me it only adds to the echo chamber and kinda defeats the purpose of discussion and debate.

They seem to have a huge sense of self importance.

No idea, maybe none. I just ignore people the old fashioned way. You don't have to read or reply to stuff.

Is a a leading feminist in Cork and has wrote several books.
She also blooms everybody online who doesn't agree with her.

I never got the point of that either. Do these people ignore any relative that has a different view to them as well?

Bredabe

Three on ignore, two are from one of the repeal threads. Who I'll bet are on a lot of other women's lists as well.
The third is more of an annoyance then ignore, but there isn't a 'see selected posts from' option.

dark crystal

Nobody. I really don't see the point of it.

I'd say 3/4 of my list is posters from the abortion referendum threads. Out of 34 posters on my ignore list, 25+ are probably from that thread but to be fair, there's probably a lot of rereg muppets in there so we're probably not talking about 25 different posters.
Those threads were full of crazies and it got to a point where I could no longer read the posts of people who believe girls and women who have been raped should be forced to continue with a pregnancy. I'm not going to get into a debate here about views on abortion, I'd say we've all had enough of that.

I don't see the big deal. There's currently just under 600 posters in AH alone, 34 is a minuscule number.

I may have phrased that awkwardly. They can quote you but you you can’t see it unless somebody else quotes it.

Your reply to someone you ignore will be visible to them.

10. A good round number.

No I don’t care if you block me. I do care that some posters create their own echo chamber. Everybody does that abd it’s a mess.

Although I am thinking of ignoring people on this thread who proudly display their high ignore rate.

andekwarhola

None.

I always presumed it didn't exist for any useful purpose further than telling people you've put them on it when you're having a pissy fit.

That’s 5 a month since you joined. You’ll have ignored everybody in a few years.

To be fair to Erica74, some people just think that life is too short to be annoyed and sometimes it's easier to just not see posts from someone that you know will annoy you. Sure I definitely feel the need to roll my eyes at some posters and I'm sure they feel the same way about me.

Samsgirl

Just 1. I enjoy their posts but then they sent me pervy pm's. Too old for that kinda sh1te now.
