Title: Is there a way to see if and how many people have you on ignore?
Post by: mobodick on September 11, 2012, 05:31:06 PM
If there is an option i can't seem to find it.
If there is a topic about this already i can't seem to find it.
Conclusion: i'm USELESS!

Hmm... I thought I disabled that list. I don't really want people to know who's ignoring them.

I miss-read the top post - that's the list of people _I_ have on ignore. (and quite pleased with it)

Ah, good, it is hidden.

For admins there is a list of people ignoring you on that same page.

Heh - I've hovered over your IGNORE plenty of times, but then you occasionally redeem yourself  ;)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like a hard number, if not a list of people. Hell, I'm sure some people would be proud enough to put it in their signature.

Anyway, i think it might be usefull to at least see THAT you're bing ignored and maybe by how many people.
Now i just get paranoia from not knowing.. :)

Hi Theymos, I think you're doing a great job for the forum. So don't take this the wrong way, I'm just genuinely curious:

Most of the time, it's your stance that it's not your responsibility to police or enforce anything, and you seem like a
laid back guy with libertarian values.

So, exactly why is it wrong that a user can see who ignores him ?

And if there should not be a way to see who ignores anyone, should the data perhaps be anonymized?

Ie. At the moment 10 users have you on ignore.

The number of people ignoring you could also be somewhat educational, as the more people that ignores a user,
the more likely it is that this user is not bringing value to the forum.

An exact count would often allow people to guess who ignored them (it's probably someone they debated with recently). Or ignored people would try to guess and become suspicious about it, anyway.

People who are ignored a lot can see a range of ignore count possibilities by their posts.

If people could see who ignored them, I predict:
- Some people would be hesitant to ignore other people for fear of being called out.
- Some people would create a lot of drama whenever they notice someone new ignoring them.
- Some people would be more afraid of posting controversial things when they see that doing so causes their ignore count to increase.

The number of people ignoring you could also be somewhat educational, as the more people that ignores a user,
the more likely it is that this user is not bringing value to the forum.

No. It tells you how many people are annoyed by their posts, not whether the posts are good or substantial.

There's already an indicator of how ignored a person is.

It does do this unless it was just changed in the last couple of days.

Where your ignore button would be, if you don't have many ignores it's just blank. But if you have more it'll be like

"4-8 ignores"

and that links to the post by theymos that explains how it works.

I would take a screenshot to show you but it seems like mine disappeared. So people took me off ignore or theymos changed it since yesterday.

This is indeed how it works. The counts only include users considered "very established", though.

Aah, that would be exactly what i was looking for.

The problem with invisible indicators is, they're invisible :)
Theymos, maybe this mechanism could be explained in the help section?

I wish there was a way to favorite people as well as ignore them. Maybe give their posts a different background color.

Does that work on all themes, or just the default one?

Only the default.

I have no one ignored  ;D

I would be curious to see how many people I have pissed off though, why aren't we allowed to see who ignored us? Its not like it matters, they have you ignored so you can't say anything to them about it.

Because admins can't be ignored anyways, isn't this feature absolutely useless?

I can't find my "Ignore" button. In fact, that seems to be the only thing missing. I can even report my own posts!

I suppose I could ask "does anybody have me on ignore?"

But the people ignoring me wouldn't answer  :(
