Do You Ignore Temporary Or Forever

[libert19]

I haven't ignored anybody, I just scroll through profiles I don't care about.

I don't know what it'd take to get on my ignore list but if it were to happen, it'd likely be a permanent ignore unless situation shows by itself that they are worth unignoring, but wouldn't be putting any effort deliberately.

How many shitposters have you tagged, Ignored and keep an eye on for improvement? I'm not going to waste more time on them, but feel free to check my Sent feedback to see which shitposter you think turned into a great asset for the forum. I can already tell you you're going to be disappointed.

Like Nathrixxx that was a plagiarist, was banned permanently before Cyrus gave the user a second chance. Ranking up to Sr. member while post quality is still shitposting level and he will continue with that while getting merit is not his problem.

You left a neutral tag for shitposting on Nathrixxx too.

I have no business with ignoring anyone if i notice a particular user is not posting very well and it’s always very rude to people i don’t ignore them however, i just don’t read their post when I come across their name, I just pass. Anyone who is not posting well today may end up doing that tomorrow so there’s no point ignoring them and also removing them later because they have improved so I just leave them. I don’t ignore someone and I will never do that because I see no reason in doing that.
Sometimes reading stupid posts makes me laugh .

The thing is, how do you handle those profiles or let me just say users you put on your ignore list?
Did you keep them ignored forever or you revisit the profile/posts to check if a y of them have imporoved their posting patterns or they still keep on repeating it the same things?

Once a user is on my ignore list, it will be very difficult for me to reverse it because I may not even be able to see such user posting in such manner that I will be able to notice him being on my ignore list, another thing is that, most of these users easily get banned because the violate the rules and human probably not see them again, a normal user that has the intention of staying on this forum without causing nuisance will not do anything that will warrant receiving ignore from any other user, that is why I don't easily put anyone on acknowledged except the case is more critical and obvious about such user.

[AakZaki]

For some reason, I feel uncomfortable seeing when someone I ignored then writes a thread, in the title section there is a vague sentence that makes me curious again about what happened in the thread.
As an example of this thread, I tried to temporarily ignore Su-asa and then on the front page where this thread is written, it looks like this.


It made me uncomfortable to look at it, so I always decided that if someone looked weird either from their posts or other behavior, I would rather check the whole of that person's profile. Then if after checking I find a rotten egg, I prefer to take it to the Reputation board. But when I don't find anything after checking, I prefer to just ignore it, without using the ignore feature.

I don't like the ignored button and not because it makes other people hidden from me, I think it should have been a two side thing. If a user ignores me, I should be able to know that I'm been ignored so I can do the same favour, that's how privacy should be and not one side but perhaps Theymos never considered it that way. If I'm block on X by someone, I still be able to view their profile and everything, but it will show that I'm been block and can't comment on their post, maybe admin feel it will bring down the forum.

Have you also mistakenly ignore someone by without knowing? I don't know when this ignore thing work or when I pressed it sometimes. I don't know how I ignored some people but somehow I see them on ignore. I don't notice them until I see their profile hidden by a corner or if I see a new post turn another color, that's when I do know I must have ignored a user without knowing I did pressed ignored. The concept doesn't fill any purpose to me.

[Churchillvv]

Personally by the design of the forum if I am not quoted or pointed to a profile or user I have ignored I’m not sure I will be thoughtful enough to go and see my ignore list but however, the way the forum is sometimes I ignore people without knowing but then when I see those users in a thread I am reading through I often unignore them.

But the truth is that people who have been ignored are rarely removed from the ignore list because it doesn’t come to mind easily.

[EFS]

I don't ignore users easily but if I ignore someone, there's a valid reason for it. So it's very unlikely I'll unignore them.
There are a lot of trolls on the forum. Some accounts are even created just for that purpose. There is free speech on the forum, but some trolls are masters at manipulating it. I don't waste my time reading their crap.

[GeorgeJohn]

I believe nobody get ignored for no reason (unless there's a mistake). Actually, from my own perspectives, I believe some of those users who get ignored might improve in the the future (if not 100% but at least up to 80% quality). Meanwhile, if they are still ignored, how are we supposed to know that they have changed or improved.
I'm open to hear from you all.

That's why is not good to take a quick decision for ignoring a user, because the user can change patterns of writing any time..do you know that sometimes people doesn't ignore a user because of its write-up or qualities of post, Some do ignore when you disagree with them, or when they come across of post you made twice without comprehending your point of views....post improvement is something that happens gradually, I have seen many user's their comments wasn't readable, but as long as they stay in forum, they improved in posts making...

Maybe if the time comes that I feel too insulted, and arguing with that person through posts would only make me look stupid, then I would not hesitate to use the ignore option. But so far, none yet. Maybe it’s because I already developed a thicker skin in life, considering I’m already old.

if notice that person you're arguing with, is out of lane, but using abusive words to replies you, and it's not once or twice the user has been doing such to other forum users, I think it's nice to put the user on ignore list...

But if I ever ignore someone, it might be forever, because how would I even know if that person changed if they’re already on ignore, right?

i noticed that if you ignore someone because of abuse or insults, don't likely forgive the user, its fine"But if you ignore someone due to low quality post, I think in future the user can be pardoned...?

I don't know how y'all keep up with this but I can't figure it out and it has been on my mind for few days now, so I think it's high time we talk about it because I want to hear from your perspectives.

I don't know why you're making things difficult for yourself, but let's talk about it anyway.

The thing is, how do you handle those profiles or let me just say users you put on your ignore list?
Did you keep them ignored forever or you revisit the profile/posts to check if a y of them have imporoved their posting patterns or they still keep on repeating it the same things?

I specifically went to check how many users I have on my ignore list (2 users). What can I do with them? Nothing, because I forgot about them after I added them to my ignore list. Frankly, I'm too lazy to check whether their behavior on the forum has improved, because if I've added them to my ignore list (which I rarely do, as you can see above), then they've 100% deserved it (because they were creating meaningless and unrelated posts that I didn't even want to see, let alone read).

I believe nobody get ignored for no reason (unless there's a mistake). Actually, from my own perspectives, I believe some of those users who get ignored might improve in the the future (if not 100% but at least up to 80% quality). Meanwhile, if they are still ignored, how are we supposed to know that they have changed or improved.

I seriously doubt such users can improve (let them remain ignored forever ), and it's most likely due to mental health issues, which I don't expect to improve. If they do improve, so be it, because I won't lose much (information-wise) by not seeing posts from 2 users.

Mine is permanent! Once you enter my ignore list, you ain't coming out forever.

I don't get pissed unnecessarily, so it's hard for anyone to be ignored by me. Notwithstanding, there will always be some silly people, which is why I have about 3 there now. And since they are provoking and insignificant, I don't even think of it, let alone free them. Free them for what?

[Peanutswar]

As per checking to my list of ignores includes those people who keep spamming in the forum so I just put them there so it does not bothered my peace of mind here in the community and its been a while I guess since I put to the ignore list and of course through out in the forum I did not remove any of them and I will add too if ever this gets annoy me and seen them every time on the board im active with.

You don't have to unignore if you want to read that ignored user's posts/ threads.

You can simply click on that user's post history or topic history in the user profile page, and after you go to post history page or topic history page, you can read posts normally.

Not sure why it was programmed like this, perhaps it was programmed this way intentionally or it is a limitation of SMF software.

Different people use the ignore function differently. Some people will ignore someone and just remain quiet about it. While some people will ignore someone and make a public announcement of it, trying to boast how they ignored the annoying user. While some others will ignore you and also try to influence others to ignore you.

I am not a fan of ignoring people, but it's a good function of the forum. Life is too short to bore yourself with irrelevant things. Going back to check if ignored people are repented is a huge worm and I don't think people do it.

[Charles-Tim]

I have just checked my ignore list, surprisingly I did not see any members there. The reason I ignored a user would probably be because I mistakenly clicked on the ignore list.

I do not ignore because I can easily ignore such a user by not reading what he is posts. Different people have their own opinion according to what I saw other people posted.

[dkbit98]

My ignore list is slowly growing all the time and it's not happening often that I remove members from that list but it could happen in theory.
For temporary ignore I use a script made by NLNicoo that hides only specific threads I manually add, making it much easier for me to use the forum.

My perspective is I don't ignore anyone. At least not by using the ignore button. For me, if I don't like someone, or find their reply to be annonying, I simply skip, or scroll up/down, it happens on it's own, no need to use a seperate forum feature. Also, it rarely happens that I'm ignoring a forum user.

Lastly, like LM said, it's not by accident but is earned.

"You don’t get ignored by accident, it’s earned."

[Marykeller]

I hardly put anyone on my Ignore list because I normally have this belief that everyone will not continue to remain the same, there will be times they will be of good use or behavior, you will learn something new from them. Putting them on ignore will then put a stop to whatever you will be learning from them, if it is an idea for a new thing or whatever

Don't forget how sentimental some users can be who at no reasonable thoughts other than personal hatreds is also why some user's inserts ones profiles on the ignore list just to moderate users they interacts with in the forum.
I'm just to draw your attention closely to reasons why users are being ignored and perhaps you just need to follow the forum rules as you do your posts and not to consider the quality of posts to satisfy the other to UNIGNORE your profile.
I also agree that users being too traditional with low quality posts can be ignored if it becomes a BUG or even those that their posting patterns is trolling or repeating spamming posts habits as mentioned are enough reasons to ignore users.
As for me, I haven't thought of putting a user in the ignore list instead I just scroll and pass because I know in any way the users posts could be helpful to me in the future.

[Ambatman]

The talk about an ignore list made me realise that it exists
And checking mine it's more than I expected since I barely ignore
I guess it would be a mistake while using mobile
But sadly when I come across such users
I always think there's a reason I ignored them so why should I check their post.
And yes I never recalled why any were ever ignored.
