Hello fellow adults.

I dunno, calling people names just because they use the ignore list isn't really an adult thing to do.

Hello fellow adults.

Part of being an adult is realizing when you don't need unnecessary negativity/stupidity in your life. You just ignore the person and move on rather than advertising the fact. I make an exception in Duckbear's case because I feel that Duckbear represents something that is very, very wrong with society and is actively engaged in deliberately making the world a worse place.

neither is using the ignore list

I honestly never understood why people seem to enjoy giving crap to people who use an ignore list. Who cares? I don't see anything wrong with it as long as they don't abuse it! But that's supremely rare.

Maybe some of us don't consider the go-to option in the face of adversity to be hiding, but that's just my two cents.

I can ignore people without avoiding seeing their words. Its called "don't react to what others say if you don't want to".

Otherwise if you cant help but to react to somebodies messages ONLINE where its just text that you CHOOSE to read it means you are a child because children cannot yet filter what they see before reacting to it.

If you NEED horse blinders to be okay, it means you are not emotionally mature.

There's adversity, and then there's some person's extreme dedication to trolling that includes 10+ accounts as we've both seen on 261. I don't ignore to hide adverse opinions, I ignore because some folks have a mission of constant derailment and I won't want to entertain them.

It's more like I'd rather not see people's shitty topics all over the topic list if I have no interest in reading them anyways because all the person ever posts is shit. I don't see what's wrong with that, yeah I can just not click their topics, but why not do one better if that option is available

I've never thought to ignore ICOYAR even; he's easy to skim over. Maybe it differs by board activity?

How do you know unless you see for yourself? Do you think people can't change? If so you have a lot of hypocritical social and political ideas.

I am not making this up but I have 90 users on ignore.

I post in several boards and if someone annoys me on they go. I find it best to put them on ignore than to put up with that posters constant grief.

Flamers, trolls, offensive sexists, and adolescent ignorati get reported and ignored. There's even a checkbox on the report form for ignore.

Zero cuz im a g

Until they can prevent ignored people's quoted posts by non ignored users from showing up I don't see a reason to use it.
I understand that is incredibly difficult to do and accept we'll never get it.

That's fine if you don't want to use it, I just don't understand why some people have to insult/belittle/whatever it is to those who do.

Plus there are some accounts that are clearly pointless anyway, which has already been mentioned.

because it was a laughable (and as knives pointed out) poorly implemented concession to all the precious snowflakes that need a safe place from ideas they don't agree with. there was already a built in feature from day one that took care of that. not logging in. self-control.

ostensibly, if the purpose of a messageboard is to communicate, it is antithetical to that idea to provide a feature to do the exact opposite of that.

when i go into a topic, and 10% of the topic is people crying that someone quoted a user they have blocked, i have to shake my head because it seems like y'all have forgotten the whole point of a messageboard in the first place.

Intentionally exposing yourself to deliberate toxicity just to prove that it doesn't affect you is not a sign of emotional maturity - knowing when to avoid things that will add nothing of benefit to your life and not fearing that doing so makes you less of a man is.

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?

but there were already mechanisms in place to deal with the most egregious posters and content i.e.,the entire moderation system. this ignore feature really is some special snowflake nonsense.

exposing yourself to deliberate toxicity

Words are not toxic, intentions are. Intentions must be internalized and accepted for you to take offense to them.

Thats why somebody can make a dead baby joke in one context and its funny, and in another its not.

Offense is taken, not given. We choose individually how to interpret words and intentions and internalize them into reactions and emotions. We have something called "free will". This is what allows different people to react to things differently.

EDIT: lemming don't have free will. Are you saying you are a lemming who cannot control how to react to external stimulus? Can you call yourself a human without the ability to enact your sense of free will to choose how to react to an external stimulus? Is this line of reasoning above your head?
