Do you use the ignore feature?

I only have one person on my ignore list and that's only because that person made continuous unprovoked personal attacks of an unforgivable nature.

Interestingly, the folks that seem to use the ignore list the most make the most stupid posts.

Dave, Neckbeard, Jedi, Trident, etc...

Too weak to handle being called out for being stupid trolls.

lol, right. Not a troll AND I ignore people because they are annoying to me.

I think of it like Adblock plus for textual ads.
 
lol schneiderguy, nice pic. :awe:

Personally, I don't use the ignore tool, just don't see the point in it and I don't take an internet forum that seriously. However, that ABwX troll is seriously testing my principle on this.

he's obviously a RBM. He'll slip up sooner or later.

I also ignore sigs.

It was made abundantly clear to me we are never allowed to talk about sigs, ever.
May as will not display them.

Holy crap, did not know sigs can be ignored too, so those idiots may not even know they are on the ignore list?

Well here it is inside the post then

Don't let this happen to you, post responsibly:

Looks like you will put anyone on your ignore list simply for having a different worldview or politics than yourself. What is the point on only exposing yourself to opinions you agree with? Personally, I find people who I tend to disagree with far more interesting and worth reading.

Negative

They landed on the list for personal attacks

That has nothing to do with any view

If you didn't blatantly lie in 90% of your posts then when called out, resort to personal attacks then you deserve them.

Heck, you've probably permabanned multiple times but allowed to come back for some reason.

Haha. One of the first things I did when I read my first few neckbeard posts was to see how quickly I could get on his ignore list. It didn't take long and all this without any infractions. :awe:

But he lies though. He actually does still read our posts. That's what's so sad.
 
I have thought of using that feature, but it still remains a thought. I felt a few posters were incredibly racist.. and then I realized that, deep inside, I am a racist fucker too.

The Breakfast Club happened in my life.
