+1 for the ignore feature.
Was a big fan of it.
I have my own reasons for wanting an ignore button, it certainly isn't to ignore ideas or perspective.
A request for the 'ignore' function again, page 5

Heck, I could use double that on the anti-Jew threads that seem to permeate through ATS about twice a month.

Started a thread today that proposes something like an ignore button, I suppose.
Two-tiered thread proposal
any thoughts?

It's free to join, anyone can. Just because we have a cool motto here doesn't mean ignorant people will not join and say ignorant things.
Heck, I say ignorant things all the time. I just don't post enough to get under peoples skin. I also, USUALLY, try and debate instead of argue( I fail at times, I'm human), but some aren't as tactful as I try to be. Again, I try, I ain't perfect.
I'll use this analogy again. If I come across a stupid person that I don't want to listen to in real life, I can walk away. It's a bit harder to do that here. Crikey, we only had ten ignores (way back in the olden days) so what's the big deal when the ATS population is hundreds of thousands?
I guess it's a pain in the ass tech wise, ok, but I still would like to have it back. Even a little bit. I do realize it's futile at this point but a thread comes up and I can't resist putting in my half a cent on this issue. Used to be two cents but inflation has hit hard.

Too true, too true, Loony.
For sure.... I was a little cock-sure as anybody who uses this sites motto; for we're all ignorant to something, as much as we'd like to think it, we, individually, can't hold knowledge on everything. (Blast!:hey
ye. Me, I'm still learning to be sociable and slowly learning to get involved... s.l.o.w.l.y...
I dunno, I suppose each to their own hey. I
couldn't care if I was ignored, though it's kinda hard to get a response out of people if they ignore you
I remember one or two threads (by
'remember' I mean I couldn't tell you the names) where 'A' would be trying to talk to 'B' and eventually, in one occasion due to other members,
would find out that 'B' had 'A' on ignore. lol. It was quite funny.
The only way I would see an Ignore function working, is to automatically minimise an ignored poster when loading a page, so you'd just see a bar, between posts, detailing maybe the Name, Post date and Star count or something, maybe a first line... That way even if you ignore someone, you can still acknowledge their presence and if you so deem fit, peruse their contribution (by maximising their post).
One thing I think would really help this site is a Reply Notification Function. Does it exist yet? I'm hoping I missed it

Hey there Jumjolnir -- go to "tools," then "messages," then "replies" -- and you can see any responses to your posts.
And I would vote for a return of the ignore button, despite having never used it previously...

WELL
Would you look at that!
lolol...
I'm not that surprised, I'm a man, it should have jumped out at me, damnit!
Thank you very much!
just saved me some valuable time, effort and bandwidth.
# I wish I'd noticed that earlier.
Y'all have a good weekend now, ya 'ear.
