Ignore List aka Blocking

I grok

In other words, you can hide but you can't run.

I have seen only one implementation of the ignore list idea where that person would genuinely disappear--no [you have chosen to ignore this member's posts] notice, no quotes from him in other people's posts. The usual method really isn't enough, in my opinion. I don't want to be taunted by a notice that I'm ignoring someone. It would be a bonus for ignored people to not see my posts as well.

I just checked my ignore list here. Interesting to observe that 3/4 of that list never posts now, where from the people I really do like to read, very few have stopped posting. So there's always the optimistic possibility that the rest of my list will move on, also. :-)

Blocking works well in stopping PMs.

that's about it .. yes, they can still read you.
and if they are really fun they will follow
you to other places and annoy you there
or find your email or home address
and send you fan mail...
life's full of little surprises !

I blocked myself for being an idiot, but I can still read everything I post...

[Tin Can]

No, you are supposed to ignore your own posts as they are the finest ever.

Just as we all do!

it would be nice to know who is ignoring you. perhaps a list of ignorants someplace in the user profile info?

I only have 4 people on the ignore list. Two are still active but one of them only in a blue moon.

I like the idea of not even seeing that they have posted.

I only have one person on ignore. That was over ten years ago and I've never seen a post from him since. So either it's working or he just didn't post anymore.
