"Ignore" Notification

[vanzandt]

You see, I'm a nice guy. As a courtesy I usually inform the user I've ignored them.

You and all 88K other members.
Pipe down Soes.
Go get an Etherium quote.

Would it be hard to enable a feature that alerts a member when someone puts them on ignore?
The same way a member is alerted when someone "follows" them.

The only reason I ask is.... Soes (God love him).... allegedly has me on ignore but I can still see all of his posts. Now I know Soes doesn't have me on ignore... he secretly admires and follows me... but thats not the point.

The bigger picture is... it might actually enhance the quality of posts from a member who is here to stay but is annoying as hell. I think if people know for real when someone puts them on ignore and they get enough alerts along those lines... they might be inclined to do some self reflection and change their act.

Especially if someone of stature here puts them on ignore. For example... if I logged in and had an alert that said... "Xela has put you on ignore".... I would be devastated lol. Or someone like Robert Morse.

I think it would be better and way more powerful than someone just typing... "you're on ignore". It would hit home in a more intimate way.

Half the fun of putting people in ignore is them not knowing so they keep rambling on without a response so they get frustrated.

Don't take the fun

For example :

In the ignore list, what does the check-box "Block user completely" mean and do?

And we still do not have an official answer for the difference between putting someone on ignore, and putting them on ignore while also choosing "block user completely" afterwards? What does the check box on that option do?

*waves hand at Baron, jumps up and down shouting ooooo ooh, ooh.* See above a couple of posts.

Oh, I think I have to do the (at)Baron thing.

I realize you are a busy man, just looking for an answer. What the grail IS, is the answer I seek, and the grail question is what was posted above.

For example :

Haha, at least I have a good time doing it!

Can we not solve this the American way: shoot em.
What does the NRA say about this? I think Trump is in favor.
But we should give Baron a gun too as he is the "teacher" overhere.

Your question is a completely different topic altogether and has nothing to do with ignored users being notified. Start a new thread if you want to me to answer your question.

I like this.

If someone gets notice, "147 people have put you on ignore"... perhaps that person would get the message, "I've been an asshat and should consider changing my ways".

Then again, such a person may decide, "If lots of people think I stink, perhaps I'll take my business elsewhere"... That way, we all win.

I'd argue that if someone gets put on ignore by 147 people, their username should be autobannned.

Think we have any like that? After all I could be on such a list with all the Lefties on this board.

I think some folks around here need to get an effin' life.

They kind of just look like they work at Blockbuster video or the DMV or IRS -- and have the personality of a mummy.
