Bring Ignore back, please

ChynnaBlue — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:42:22 GMT

My forum visits were much more pleasant when I could block individuals with a habit of never saying anything positive or constructive. I really hope you'll bring the ignore feature back quickly.

I agree Chinablue!

I must say I totally agree with the OP. I have needed the ignore button more than several times after some of those nasty posts come up.

Maybe it is here, but we just cannot find it????

Anybody know????

I haven't been able to find it either. I don't think there is one.

They said in one of the numerous information threads that the ignore feature was not available at this time.

I've noticed that many forums do not have the ignore feature in the first issue. It seems to only be available in a later software upgrade.

Hopefully we will get that feature installed in the short term.

I'm not sure if ignore is even an option with this software.

I think it is rude to ignore posters in a public forum. Just move on to another topic or comment elsewhere. Glad it's gone.

LOL, are you kidding? No one prints a list of people they put on it anyway.

Some are such prolific and long posters you can't hardly miss their posts.

It's rude if you tell someone, "I'm ignoring you now!!" Putting someone on ignore doesn't send them a message, they don't know you're ignoring them unless you tell them so, so how can they be offended by it?

Believe me, when I can see those posts, I can respond to them. And THAT might be very, very rude. It's better for everyone when Ignore works.

What? Really? Maybe you thought it was broadcasted that you were ignoring them?

Yes please! I completely agree. In fact I'll take it a step further and request a BETTER Ignore Button. One that can make the Original Topic Header by an Ignored Poster totally invisible as well.

To rephrase my comment, I never knew the ignore button existed in the Q forums. It's just seems to be easier to simply not respond to the poster. The new forums give you more latitude to visit and connect with new posters, old posters or form new friends.

I got the impression from the guidelines that the monitors would have an easier time intervening when threads got nasty or hijacked. We might see fewer nasty posts, and hence, less need for the ignore button. Time will tell.

Hmmmmm....I wonder if that is why I am noticing posters I haven't seen in a long time??!

They all had me on ignore!!

As a new poster you probably are not aware how toxic some posters are. After seeing their posts, it is not always easy to simply move on and sit by silently.

Then there are the narcissists who make every thread about them. It is easier to ignore them.

The ignore button was a silent option for greater peace of mind.

It harmed no one and only helped the person who chose to use it.

I wish it would come back soon.

Ignore is an option that is very good to have, and while I can certainly work around not having The Ignore button, it would be very helpful to have it back.

It's just a way of cutting through posts by people who repeat their positions dozens of times on a thread, or who treat a thread as an excuse for an extended (20+ post) with some friend who has shown up. That stuff is annoying if one is reading in order to have a conversation.

It's not awful, just annoying, and Ignore is helpful.

Drythe — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 05:35:08 GMT

Yes, Please.

It is really time saving to be able to ignore those who use the board as a place to post lists of their favorite vendor's products, those who have 'insider' conversations, etc.

Fine if it's how they choose to spend their time, I'd just rather not spend my time sorting through them.

I agree with both of your statements, particularly the second one.
