This Place Might Not Be So Bad

It seems pretty good, so far.

The IGNORE feature seems a little more IGNOREY... So.. One has better control over your stalkers.

I haven't used the IGHNOR function, but any time one of my ignored posters responded to one of my posts, I would take them off in order to read, and if appropriate, reply to the post. I did not use ignore as a shield to protect me from hurt feelings, but only to block out spammers and bores who used the forum like their personal Twitter or Facebook feed.

So if IGHNOR here blocks you from seeing that the poster has responded, I find that a shame and am less likely to use the function.

I actually had quite a large ignore list, but the use of the function was mainly to stop seeing boring Facebook-style threads on the board and not because I wished to have no further interaction with the individual in question. Also, if you have no awareness that someone has responded to your post, that makes it possible for them to post mendacious lies about you without your being able to defend yourself (unless someone else quoted the post). So I suppose it looks like I'm just going to be tolerating boring attention whores henceforth.

I almost put 'Rabbit' on ignore once for not addressing all of my points, but disregarding his posts would have been just as good as blocking them from sight. But actually, I didn't mind and will actually rather miss Rabbit, because his bizarrely worded insults made me laugh.
