See, now we're just going in circles There are some accounts that don't contribute anything to the boards and I don't really blame people for putting those accounts on ignore and it doesn't really seem to have anything to do with not wanting to hear dissenting opinions or being a special snowflake. I think we can all agree that there are accounts that are totally worthless and usually that's intentionally done. Now, I hear a lot of arguments that say "Well, in those cases I just manually ignore it." And that's all fine and dandy, but I also see the other side that uses the ignore system. It's two different ways to achieve the same effect, and again I'll go back and say that I don't understand why people who don't use the ignore system occasionally insult the people who do. If you're not abusing the ignore system (I won't name names, but some people put a lot of users on ignore for very weak reasons.), then who cares? --- http://i.imgur.com/FUshe.jpg http://i.imgur.com/o3JZO0i.png https://i.imgur.com/E5QxHCe.gif http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1170-but-wait-theres-more <cite>LanHikari10 posted [p:876413109] in How big is...
