bring back the glowing ignore button

[OgNasty]

Seems like just another way to bully people and spread negativity. Not surprising to see who bumped this thread.

If the main focus on this site was supporting good users and spreading positivity instead of trying to label everyone as bad and spreading hate, this place might attract talent instead of miserable people obsessed with control.

Are there any Legendary members that you do not have a problem with?    Even Apple is limiting garbage by banning AI Slop from their app store.  

How could anyone bully me by ignoring what I say?   Some snowflakes....

You are literally suing me because I hurt your feelings.  Hands down the biggest bitch move this forum has ever witnessed in my opinion.  You want to talk about snowflakes?  Can you even lift a snowflake?

Sorry Apple won't allow any of your AI slop on their App Store. Luckily browser add-ons don't have that issue...  I've developed apps for Apple in the past if you need some help.

No - learn English.  I am suing you for lying about me, causing me to lose business.  

I've developed (AI Slop) for Apple in the past if you need some help.

No, I do not want to scam people.  

Edited for OP/Theymos:  Consider adding the DT negative score to the ignore brightness calculation, after a "misunderstanding" grace of a few points.

not sure if this was the case, but it makes sense as my ignore list is so large the forum times out trying to display that page.

This is something that I think it is could be "easily" solved.
Why forum need to count how many people are ignoring someone every time a post appears? This could be pre calculated and stored like a cache and updated every time, just like it already happens with other things (like rank updates)... I do not think that we have any problem if there are a small delay in the correct count.

Anyway, I think the ignore feature is good for who genuinely do not want to read someone user posts anymore, but I do not think this would be useful to use like other reputation indicator. We already have the merit system to recognize good users and the trust system to mark who is going down the wrong path, right? So, is another tool to this is really necessary?

There wouldn't even be a small delay.   Theymos can do this by database scripts:
1)  Create new ignore_plus_trust score column in the member database
2)  Populate over time
3)  Call Increment/Decrement sp each time ignore or trust is modified.

The only people this would concern are:
1) Those are ignored by a lot of people
2) Those who have extraordinary negative trust

Don't limit protection to protect a few social rejects.

985 and I thought I was too quick on the button!!  

In more than 12 years, that's only 1 or 2 per week. Considering the number of shitposters, that's not much.

Now that I think of it I think a glowing button that gets brighter would only encourage dogpiling and this board has too many that don't think for themselves as it is and just try to suck up.

I don't think Ignoring someone would be "sucking up", as nobody can see who you ignore. But the main advantage of a glowing Ignore button is to make it easier to recognize shitposts. If you have 985 people on Ignore, you must have read thousands of bad posts from them in total. If I can avoid reading a few thousand bad posts, it leaves me more time to read good stuff.
