Title: [POLL] How often do you show/hide persons on your ignore list?
Post by: SgtSpike on December 07, 2012, 11:38:42 PM
My hypothesis is that the ignore button is largely used to give people justification for not responding to others, but users still often show posts of the people they ignore, just because they are curious what that person is saying.

I've never ignored anybody. I do have a theory that some people may put others on ignore with their sockpuppets that have a 100+ post count just to... Not sure why, but it's probably different for different people.

As I've stated elsewhere, I mostly use the ignore button as a visible "I am disappoint," a way of voting down users whose posts are offensive. As a bonus, I don't have to see their logorrhea unless I want to.

Seconded.  I never read idiots who I've ignored, unless their idiocy spills into other people's comment quotes.

I started ignoring some users recently, but than I realised - fuck it, I can handle any shit anyone throw at me, bring it on! ;D

I don't really think it's a question of you being or not being able to "handle it", but more a question of why do you need to bother with sociopaths vomiting garbage around here?

The ignore button is not a psychological defense -- it is a time saver.

Wow. Cumulatively, all the people in my ignore list probably make up at least 20% of the posts in this forum. I'd count how many there are, exactly, but I really don't have the bandwidth to load all that text -- probably at least 40 users. I use it as a time-saver, so I only rarely click "show" anymore.

There have been whole pages of threads that were just "this user has been ignored."

Same here.  I lol when that happens -- it means I've saved myself at least 5 minutes.

My hypothesis is that the ignore button is largely used to give people justification for not responding to others, but users still often show posts of the people they ignore, just because they are curious what that person is saying.

From what I see the people who have the most ignores are the ones who ask the question people don''t like to be asked. Look at who has the most ignores. Reeses. Phineas Gauge. Psy. Each and everyone people who ask exactly the questions that need to be asked but no one wants to have answered. And worse - time and time again they turn out to be right.

Now why would that be? Is it maybe because these people hate Bitcoin and thus try to undermine it at every opportunity. Or maybe is it because they are not easily duped idiots that call an obvious fraud a fraud?

Tough decision.

But here's a hint. It's not the first "maybe".

Actually, although I have asked many a questions in the past, many a times I have been proven wrong but, then again, they continued to pitch to Babe.

Thanks for the post, greyhawk.

The show/hide button doesn't work very well so if it looks from other people's quotes like someone on my ignore list has something interesting to say, I unignore them - safe in the knowledge that it takes only one click to put them back on ignore.

You missed the option "I only show/hide when I know the ignored person is trolling me, personally.

I gotta read those, for sure. How else do I know how much an asshat ciuciu is?

My option isn't on there, occasionally I'll show the person ignored just to remember why I ignored them in the first place again, they usually find a way to get me to remember lol.

There's also people like MPOE-PR, and pure trolls like ciuciu, smoothie, so the ensuing argument doesn't really hold up.

MPOE-PR is just telling uncomfortable truths. Now with ciuciu... yeah, I've got nothing to say about that, he's an annoyotron all right.

This is the great thing about ignore lists though, if you have an issue from someone rather than whining to mods about it and having to read their stuff you can just pop them on the ignore list and be very civil most of the time :P

I'm not an asshat! ;_; I'd just rather not argue with stupid and irrational people when I just want to talk about Bitcoins or something random.

Thank you captain obvious...


Also MPOE-PR play devils advocate so they look like a troll. Most the time smoothie is actually funny in his own way I could never ignore either of them.

I started ignoring some users recently, but than I realised - fuck it, I can handle any shit anyone throw at me, bring it on! ;D

I don't really think it's a question of you being or not being able to "handle it", but more a question of why do you need to bother with sociopaths vomiting garbage around here?

The ignore button is not a psychological defense -- it is a time saver.

There is no such thing as worthless data. Everything and anything can trigger profound realisations.

Ignoring someone means you think they will never ever change, but that is impossible. Everything and anything can change, at any moment.

For example, yourself. You just earned your way off my ignore list. Do me a favor, and don't earn your way back on, 'k?

I have never ignored anyone... Never will.

Never say never...

Sometimes I hit the show button just to see if they've straighten up.

I have found plenty worthless contributions along with angry people unwilling to do anything other than insult me for sharing ideas that threaten their below systems, so I am gonna go ahead and disagree.
