Is there any way of knowing...

I get the feeling I should know what an ignore list IS.

But I don't.

The ignore list is a way of filtering out the posters whose posts you know in advance you'd rather not see.


342!?!?! Not as bad as I thought.

Huh...eh, I don't know. I don't mind reading through posts of people I don't like. I'm one of those paranoid freaks that wants as much information as possible.

I hope I'm not on anyone's 'ignore list'...

But then I suppose what you don't know can't hurt you! :)

It did make visting the OB a less stressful event back in the days before politics were banned.

It's not so much that one might not like the person - never having met them - but that their posts might get under your skin more often than you'd like.

What? Ignore the Baron's posts and miss out on seeing photos of his outstanding garments and sense of style? Not likely!

I'd definitely be on a thousand ignore lists if the FL was on audio and everyone could hear my annoying Ostrayan accent! hahaha!

I never mass-ignore anyone. If I find a post I don't like, I just skip the rest of it and continue on with the thread. Too many people here have too many good ideas for me to ignore anyone completely.

Besides, why would anyone want to ignore such a great group of people as us? :)

The whole idea seems bizarre to me. I mean, how can you understand half the threads when you miss the people who may be saying the most inflamatory things. Better to see what they said and then decide to avoid the whole thread and all that comes afterwards.

Secondly, there are few if any here who have so much ill to say and offer nothing I would ever want to hear.

Granted, tehre are a few posters that I might skim past because I more or less know that I will not care for what they say on many topics.

But I will admit I occasionally see posts that really get me hot and I start to write a response. Then I think better of it and hit the back button. And i wil admit, before politics were banned, especially during the war, I probably would have left the lounge or started using such a list.

the only people {none here} I have put on ignore were people that end up getting banned anyway so....

I was on one site where the Moderators could put the person in a SPECIAL place, they could read and respond but NOBODY else could see the posting lol
