In another thread the subject of ignore lists came up and someone made a good point. How do some people reads threads and make any sense of them when they have very large ignore lists.

One member here has a list of 23 KMC members on their ignore list and more than half of those members (including me) are very frequent contributors or participants in this forum.

I could understand having one or two people who are disruptive or offensive on a list, but 23?! I mean if you are just putting so many people on that list because you don't like what they have to say, why even come here? And does sticking your head in the sand make things better?

I was just curious as to how many other people have someone on their ignore list, or how many they have on their ignore list, or even why?

Ive never bothered with ignore lists, i agree with kharmaDog, it makes the threads harder to follow.....


23 thats a lot

this could result into something bad ... :/

Being on someone's ignore list has to be the best thing ever.

To be on their list you've probably done something to annoy them. When you're ignored, your posts just show up as a hyperlink that person would need to click on in order to read your posts.

In almost every case I'm guessing the ignorer clicks on the hyperlink to read the post just to know what's being said in the thread...so basically instead of ignoring them, they've just gone out of your way to read their post in particular.

I have 1 person on mine. some newer member Raz had me put on my ignore list. this guy sent me a PM introducing his self to me, said I looked nice and wanted to play. after I told him no and to back off, he was sending me PMs calling me a snobby whore.

I have nobody on my ignore list. It would take a lot of constant BS from someone to get on mine.

at the moment there is no one there
and i agree it makes reading threads totally annoying

I guess sometimes if the person is persistant to slander you in every thread you choose to participate in, ignore is a nice choice to have

I havent had to use it though..

I wouldn't dare have anyone on an ignore list.... I have few enough friends already....

i dont bother with ignore lists..or buddy lists

It does but sometimes it is needed for certain reasons!jm

needed? you are not ignoring anyone.
i'm on your list and you read every single post i make.
im sure that just to attempt to prove me wrong you will
pretend you never read this post, but we all know what
the real deal is

I have...4 people, I think...they're all people who've been banned, though, I just never got around to removing them.

I am interested in these reasons, please elaborate if possible.

dont hold your breath waiting for an answer

membership list to the fanclub....duh!!! JM!

Never ever had anyone on my ignore list.

KharmaDog, having someone on yuor ignore list stops them from sending you PMs, so that could be a reason.

I dont have anyone on my ignore...and noone can ignore me, so thats all good

erm.... as far as i noticed... it is not stoping anyone from sending you PMs. it is just making them invisible in you inbox.
and after getting calmer you can read those PMs

Well you dont get them either way - you can only get them once you have taken them off your ignore.

can you read the post of those on your ignore list or are their postings invisible too?

You can read it if you want too.JM

so whats the use of the ignore list then?

and you can't use the quick reply button.
and i think the only reason to use it would be if someone was stalking you a lot

I think some people use it just to put their heads in the sand, or up their arse, whichever is the most applicable.

How can you partake in a conversation and not know what everyone is saying?

stalking me????????....bring it on

Okay, I was wrong, I have 1 person on my ignore list, and this person was banned for bashing me...I've just never gotten around to removing them. Meh.

That problem doesn' t occur in the OTF where it is used the most I think.

I ignore only one person. And I should take him off because his recent posts are no longer bashing.

hey there Lance how are you holding up

Pretty good, I just need to keep myself occupied.

yeah that is actually a good therapy, been there done that and it actually helps. Hang in there buddy

Thanks finti.

You can have an ignore list? Sweet

Seriously, whats the use of somethign like that.. You'll just be curious and read their posts anyways, it justs wastes your time

I post on other message boards, too, and one of them is a sports-related one that has NO restrictions on the use of profanity and bashing.

Putting someone on your ignore list for a message board like that is pretty understandable if you're tired of constantly seeing vulgar posts from them, but since both of those are prohibited (mostly) on KMC, that reason may not hold enough water as for other boards.

only real use for it is to block PMS

i once ignored one guy who has been spamming forums, and had some porn pic in his sig
there was no mod online at that moment.

I ussually just laugh at those people... Gives forums something different to talk about for a little while

Suffering from female hormones?

I don't have anyone in my ignore list. But on the downside for everyone.....you can't put me on your ignore list......you just can't.

*chuckles*

damn

I don't bother with ignore list or buddy list.

I forgot I have one...So no I don't have anyone on mine...I like to live in reality, but..there are always exceptions to the rule...

I can understand if someone is really bashing someone else...I wouldn't want to see it either, But..being curious, I would just have to look..

cant say ive ever used an ignore list, ever.

A member who shall remain name-less put me on their ignore list because I stated my opinions and made damn good arguements.

Why the Hell would someone do that?!
Just because I make a good opinion and held a good argument...

Raz said he put me on his ignore list once

HA! I knew it!

I don't bother with the ignore fuction either...don't like depriving myself of anyone's opinion, (no matter how stupid).

At another forum, there's one guy who has about 30 people on his list...and what's really stupid is that he copies it to a webpage, and puts a link in his .sig to let everyone know who he's ignoring. If that's not a classic example of, "hey look at me", I don't know what is.

never had anyone on my ignore list. Also, no one can put me on their ignore list, because I'm super cool radical dude.
