How large is your ignore list?

[meng]

Do you use it? How many forum members are on it?

[riven0]

I'm happy to say: none! No one annoys me that much. :)

[rsambuca]

None, but definitely have considered using it a few times!

[Baelfael]

None. I never use ignore lists. I just battle it out.

[FuturePilot]

None. I know it exists but everyone around here is so nice.:KS

[iSE]

Thats so true

[r4ik]

None never crossed my mind to use it.

[BWF89]

I've been here since 2004 and I've never added anyone.

[maddog39]

None. I'm not sure I've ever even used it on any other forum either. Plus, I have to agree with whoever said everyone here is nice! Because its like 98% true. :D

[Pikestaff]

I'm glad to say I haven't had to use it yet :)

[Dale61]

Add me to the none list.

Two questions though:

1/. How many does the thread starter have?

2/. Those that do have members on their ignore, why are they there? (I'm not asking who they are, just why they're there.)

[%hMa@?b<C]

I never ignore anyone, I find it funny to laugh at those that I would have ignore listed.

[meng]

My list expanded to 16 today. It is reserved for members who ask for help but submit abusive posts. Of course, the vast majority of members do not fall into this category.
FYI, if you attempt to add yourself to your ignore list, you get this message:
"Sorry, no matter how much you try, you can not ignore yourself."

[reclusivemonkey]

Just a bit of fun; how big is your ignore list? =]

[ComplexNumber]

no names are to be mentioned. thats not good.

[Spr0k3t]

Zilch

[reclusivemonkey]

Yeah I was going to mention that. Its just a bit of fun =]

0 (Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.)

[jkblacker]

0 - tho I've not really been here that long, I hope it stays that way!

[STREETURCHINE]

i see no reason to put people on the ignore list,
i may not like what they say ,may not like there attitude ,but that is no reason to ignore or hold a grudge.
so i choose to ignore nobody:)

[Lord Illidan]

None..

[Vorian]

zero for me :)

[KiwiNZ]

Mine is zero

How could I be expected to be heard if I ignored others.

[LookTJ]

Zero I like to keep close with everyone.

[M$LOL]

None, just like everyone has said, but I imagine the people who do have long lists of ignorees wouldn't post here anyway. ;)

[DrOlaf]

Zero. I've been sorely tempted sometimes, but still zero.

[bapoumba]

None.
There is already another thread on this topic. I've not merged them, because polls get lost upon merging.

2 - it's a shame their posts do not dissapear all the way and they are still visible if they are being quoted....

[AndyCooll]

Didn't know it was an option that could be used TBH. Now I know ...

:cool:

[Brunellus]

I keep mine empty, since I'm supposed to be modding.

If I weren't a mod, I might consider using the bozo filter.

[aysiu]

I used to have a huge ignore list, but then I realized it doesn't really work.

1. The people I want to ignore are usually the ones who stir things up. The ones who stir things up tend to get quoted a lot by people trying to refute arguments. I can't ignore the quotations, so I end up being able to see their garbage anyway.

2. If someone I'm "ignoring" bumps a thread I'm subscribed to, I still get the bump.

[rai4shu2]

What might work better is if we could color-code some people. If I could make certain people show up (for me) as dark red, I'd know better than to try arguing with them for example.

[karellen]

no one. I had no reason to ignore someone

[wolfen69]

please don't name anyone or start flaming, but just curious as to how many people you don't want to hear from anymore. i have 11 and growing. and every time i let one of them "back in" i'm reminded why they made that list in the first place. like i said, no naming of names, just how many.

[bashveank]

None...
what does the ignore list do? :oops:

[lisati]

None...

I have none as well, I think it blocks people you don't want PMs from.

[collinp]

None. Its fairly hard to get on my ignore list, you have to be trying to tick me off to get on it lol.

[wolfen69]

None...
what does the ignore list do? :oops:

if you know that there is a poster who you dislike alot, or can't stand what they have to say, it allows you to not see what they have to say. it's blocked automatically.

[Stupendoussteve]

Zero. I may not like what people have to say, but I can deal with different opinions.

[wolfen69]

not quite. it blocks all posts from that person.

[Polygon]

rav tux is the only person to have the honor of being on my ignore list.

[Icehuck]

I have no one on my ignore list. It really makes it hard to follow a conversation when you can't see posts that people are referring to.

[Newuser1111]

None.

[wolfen69]

ra* tu% is the only person to have the honor of being on my ignore list.

could you please go back and take his name out? i don't want this thread to get out of hand. no names please. heck, i'm sure i might be on a couple lists myself.

[Mokoma]

none. why should i block anyone?

[lykwydchykyn]

Nobody. Some of the people who have ticked me off before have helped me with stuff later. We all have our days, and we all say things that get taken wrong. In my book, once the thread is dead, everyone gets a clean slate.

I like that approach and I think I'll follow it.

Was this from a while ago? He's been banned for more than a year now I think.

RAV TUX is banned (don't hatch up the age old argument, it was controversial), so mentioning his name is not a problem.

[wolfen69]

i guess i'm the wierd one, huh? oh well.

[Methuselah]

None. But after this thread reminded me it exists and one other irritated me, I started considering it.

Not really though.
if I ignore anyone I'll just have to click on an extra link to see their posts.

I might avoid clicking on a thread if it gets stupid.

[Icehuck]

You have your reasons and it's a feature of the boards so I wouldn't call it weird.

to be honest, i never thought much of it. i'm just enjoying jaunty.

[swoll1980]

I've thought of it a few times, but even a broken watch is right twice a day, and I would hate to miss something insightful.

[inobe]

i would never do such a thing, everyone is entitled to there opinion, if one decides to block someone i hope it would be more serious than a disliked comment.

[MasterNetra]

None here. Haven't even come close to needing to put someone on. O.o

[CraigPaleo]

None

I dunno...everyone certainly entitled to his/her opinion.
However, everyone's not entitled to my listening ear.

There are many people who have opinions I'd rather not hear.
Not here though; nothing people say here can be truly offensive and not break the rules.

[etnlIcarus]

People must have rather a thin skin if they feel the need to shut-out people they find offensive/annoying.

I've never blocked anyone on any forum. Arguments are usually a good thing; it's the only way you can resolve your differences/put an idiot in his place.

[-grubby]

-1.

[haiku88]

none at all here, never felt the need....but the ignore option does sometimes serve a valuable function, have several astoundingly obnoxious posters on ignore elsewhere (on a cycling forum fwiw) and it makes using the forum much more pleasurable....

[tjwoosta]

none...

i prefer to hear what people have to say, even if i dont agree with it

i have a fairly open mind, if i hear something i dont agree with i usually just try to see things through their eyes as best i can

i find that often times people have an amazing ability to surprise me

and besides everyone is entitled to their opinion


if its something offensive, annoying, or immature that they are saying, ill usually just disregaurd it


i suppose the only time i would ever use the ignore list would be if somebody was spamming me with pm's or something (in which case they would probably get banned or something anyway)

[sadicote]

I would never do such a thing! Would be repugnant to the meaning and spirit of Ubuntu.

[bapoumba]

Threads merged.

[billgoldberg]

Didn't even know there was an ignore list.

But what's the point of frequenting Internet forums when you don't see the occasional troll?

I find it amusing.

[mips]

Two users, one has since been banned. There was a stage where I wished the ignored list also worked on mods but siad mod has also been banned.

Looks like people I want to ignore end up being banned :lolflag:

[steeleyuk]

One, the guy absolutely drives me nuts when I had to read one of his posts...

[sanderella]

If someone is really offensive the best thing is to report it to the mods, because other people could be offended, too. I have no-one on my ignore list, but I have reported a couple of abusers to the mods.:( Beware of sanderella the self-righteous.:KS

[khelben1979]

None for me.

[etnlIcarus]

If someone is really offensive the best thing is to report it to the mods, because other people could be offended, too.Someone outright baiting, I can perhaps understand. Offensiveness isn't something in itself to be policed; the onus really should be on the offendees to handle other's self-expression maturely.

[yabbadabbadont]

I don't think that you can ignore mods/admins... so there really isn't any point in using it. :twisted:

:D

[lisati]

Never needed the blacklist on the forums, very rarely needed it with email.
The trouble with a "whitelist only" system would be the need for some kind of quarantine system, otherwise how would the whitelist get populated?

[BGFG]

Nobody. Some of the people who have ticked me off before have helped me with stuff later. We all have our days, and we all say things that get taken wrong. In my book, once the thread is dead, everyone gets a clean slate.

have to agree. I have horrible short term memory so I might strongly disagree with you today then +1 you tomorrow.
I tend to treat a post as just that, a post and not use it to judge a user.

When i was younger, I would have a rough argument with my sis, then go back a couple hours later trying to chat, and wonder what i could have POSSIBLY done for her to be so mad at me :) TERRIBLE memory....

[handy]

I ignore 99% of the UF's these days, fortunately my discernment is not restricted by a list.

I certainly do agree with yabbadabbadont's statement regarding mods/admins, or at least some of them any way... ):P

[kk0sse54]

None, I didn't even know about it until know....

[HappinessNow]

Zero, all though I would consider ignoring those who use the ignore feature. ;)

[gnomeuser]

I have one person on my list, but I no longer think that person is even active on the forums.

I am quite fond of the ignore list, it is a fine alternative for me to avoid having my blood pressure elevated needlessly reading posts of such a consistently uninformed nature. When such people utterly refuse to have a reasonable debate or realise that they are venturing into the land of knowing repeating untruths I like being able to ignore them completely rather than seeing them banned. There is room for everyone, if people ignore such people they will slowly realise the err of their ways and they will re-examine their position, unlike when they get banned in which case they will feel like martyrs and feel empowered to go on even more uninformed ignorant rants.

[darrenn]

I am tempted to put my arch enemy darrenm on my ignore list. Around three years ago I made a joke about how similar are user names are and he ignored me. Jerk.

Shifty character that darrenm.. I propose a cold war approach to this conflict. Plus it is a good chance for me to try out this doomsday device. Win-win
