I put my first poster on ignore

[TSO-Danni]

Yes...I finally succumbed to temptation and put a poster on ignore. The downside is that I will still have to read the replies to the posts she makes, and lord knows she makes a lot...she has an opinion/some "valuable insight" to add to every subject posted here.

But oh well, you can't win every time - at least now I won't have to bite my tongue every time I read one of her inane "well if it's not a problem for me, it can't be a problem for you" posts.

*sighs in relief and waits to be either banned or have this post removed*

If I didn't already know you loved me, I'd be paranoid.

I hope it works out for you.

To date I've been far too nosy to put someone on iggy... although I've been tempted http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/71.gif

As long as you do not 'personally attack', name the person or provide other identification of the poster you have put on ignore, there is no violation of the <font color="blue">Stratics Rules of Conduct</font> (http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/sims/STroc.php).

This is exactly what the ignore feature was created to provide....a way to keep other posters, from getting on our nerves. http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Unfortunately, when I still had that priviledge, just like Jackiee (we are so alike http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/ooo.gif), I was too curious, to leave them on ignore....http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I don't ignore often and never permanently. I would in TSO for a few days then I would take it off once I knew they were disinterested. In SL I ignored a guy on two of his alts.. but left his main one alone.

Oh I do have one person ignored on Stratics. But they were here specifically to contact me and cause rage. I didn't need that esp with an RoC *snickers*

I finally succumbed to temptation and put a poster on ignore.

Hmmm. Let me know in PM who the person is and I'll be sure to reply to each of her posts and quote it in it's entirely. http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/smile.gif

*wonders if there is any way of telling if anyone has me on ignore*

[imported_corpatortis]

When you try to PM a person who has you on ignore do you get told you can't?

[imported_corpatortis]

I just tested it out with Jackie to be sure. She ignored me.. and all of my posts read *** You are ignoring this user ***.

I tried to PM her and got "This user is ignoring you. You cannot send them a message.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page."

Her posts didn't look different I could quote, reply, etc. So if you're paranoid enough you'll have to PM people to find out.

*puts sending PMs to everybody on Stratics on my to-do-when-I-have-the-time list. Except corpatortis, who replied to me here.*

You know, I've never ignored anyone on Stratics. Or anywhere. I enjoy the madness too much.

I know who you're talking about. I guessed it from the description, and was only further swayed by your description.

I'd put them on ignore, but I can't miss anything. :-)

Ignoring people is so pointless. Is it really worth it to miss part of a conversation just because you don't want to hear what someone has to say. It sort of reminds me of a little kid plugging their ears and yelling "I'm not listening! I can't hear you!"

QFT. All putting someone on ignore does, especially when you announce it after you do it, is let them know that they are important enough to you for their words to matter so much that you couldn't just mentally ignore without hitting the 'Ignore this poster' button. It took me a while to get to that point of understanding that, and there are still some people's words that hurt me to this day, but not enough to put them on ignore here. I've done it in game and on yahoo, but only after it becomes obvious that there's going to be no truce or being left alone without it. Sometimes in that case if somebody's coming at you via PMs they just prove they don't have the self-control to let enough be enough, so you have to help em for your own sanity. It'd be nice if there was a feature here that would allow you to not receive PMs from a person, but still be able to see their public posts if a situation like that arose here, but since it hasn't yet I never thought to suggest it LOL./

I agree.

I don't understand why one would announce it, anyways? All it does is make people paranoid.

Eh, to me it means "Hey, you're a worthless piece of [censored] so I'm not going to waste my life with you."
