I personally can't even try to block someone. I think its because I also am nosy and can't completely kick someone out of my life knowing that they are still there. If I had THAT much of a problem with them I'd try to address it and get their side. Just try to understand where they are coming from and how they see things so I can understand why they did what they did or said what they said to make me upset. But just as I'd like people to be patient with me, I have to remember to not let my anger get the best of me and be patient with them.

I don't make it a point to hang out in threads that have heated discussions or I probably would ignore people. Any who I think we can learn something though, maybe a misunderstanding or a an off post could be easily settled with a private discussion. I know that's not always the case and I'll be the first to say that I am not good at confrontation. Perhaps, UN ignoring someone just to give them a chance would work, just a thought, again if the person is stalking you or you're not comfortable with them at all, ignore and move on, but a simple misunderstanding could be patched up.

​I had only one person on my ignore list, but she got banned so I took her off. Right now no one is on my list, though I can think of at least 5 people I'd like to put on it right now.. :)

Ugly- I apologize for my not-funny "joke"; I don't actually feel that anyone should simply stay away from here if they ignore a lot of people. This is a place where anyone should be able to come and interact-or not interact- at their own discretion, and not be judged or looked down on for their choice.

My "joke" was in poor taste.

That being said, I have seen people come through here who don't appear to get along with anybody, nor read anyone's posts, and all they have to share is negativity...in those cases, I honestly can't help but wonder why they come here.

Anyway, my own issues aside, my apology stands- to you and anyone else I inadvertently offended.

Ugly you can ignore who ever you want, being that I'm so nosy I have a hard time doing, pathetic, yes, but true. :)

Honestly i sometimes have that problem. I can have a tendency to peek at times.
And thanks.



I currently have 59 on ignore, though some i don't even remember, and a good bit i haven't seen in a long time. I did add a new one recently. And am quite close to hitting 60 haha.


It was also brought to my attention that my previous post may have been taken as calling Seoul ignorant. While i stand by my choice to ignore i was in no way making personal attacks or name calling her, or trying to infer such things. It was just unfortunate wording that could easily be taken wrong. Sorry if anyone mistook my post as an attack on Seoul or any one person.
A part of my post was directed at MissCris, as a response to her statement, but that was all. We have since talked that over and all is good between the two of us.

I'm trying to make a joke here and hoping it won't be taken the wrong way... But, um... with 60 people on an Ignore List... Would there be ANYTHING left to read in the Singles??? :)

So close to 60 on his ignore list... who will it be? Will it be me? Do I have what it takes to annoy him enough to get ignored?

...

...

*sigh* Nope. Oh well.

You really must throw a party at 100 ignores.

Aside from PopClick and Ugly, I don't know who else's list I'm on.



I don't have a list. I'm not terribly bothered by much, aside from the Jesus Juke crowd or "A woman should SUBMIT!!" club.



I suppose this is why they invented the word "ignorant."

This is my thing about the ignore feature, it's a stock feature with this forum software and for some people it is a desirable feature because they can't seem to read something that inflames them without responding. For those people who use it, I can't blame them because I know that some post (or threads) that I've read make my blood boil but they don't necessarily fall into the category of a bannable offense (contrary to popular belief by some we don't ban people just because we don't like them).

The only thing that I find to poor etiquette about people choosing to use the ignore feature is when they post a response in the forums that says, "UserX you are now on my ignore list". I mean does the entire site (or even that one user) really know that you put someone on ignore?

Sometimes having someone deem you worthy (or unworthy) enough to land on their Ignore list can feel like winning a (CC) Nobel Peace Prize... ;)

*Lynx glances at Oncefallen...

And as a former mod (somewhere else) I can tell you, you should never, ever put a moderator on ignore. ;)

I have a few people on my ignore list. It's not that I "can't handle" their posts or anything, they were just irritating to me for one reason or another and I'd rather not be irritated. *Shrugs*

I have a few people on ignore but they have to be pretty awful to get on the list. Some just spew hate (this is different to speaking truth in love) and pee on everyone's parade, one or two seem to hate women and one or two others are just too extreme for words and later are found out to be trolls (but still, strangely enough, not banned from CC).

What I meant was, if a moderator tells you to cool it and you have said moderator on ignore, you don't see the notice to cool it. This happens more in live chat than on the forum though.

Let's see I have 17 people on my ignore list but few of them are regulars around here. Though I generally use it as a warning list, to mentally prepare myself to not like what I read before peeking at the post anyway. To get on my list you either have to be 1) annoyingly overspiritualizing everything 2) a person who others have repeatedly tried to help but just wants to keep complaining and not change anything 3) someone who is just plain contentious and cannot take the least little bit of criticism

In all fairness though, in reading over my ignore list to find out how many people were on it, I did remove someone. I do love the ignore feature though. There are enough idiots in real life that I have to deal with and if I can make my little corner of the internet a bit more idiot proof that's a wonderful thing.

And yes seoul I appreciate your insights and you do a good job of writing coherently and not wall of texting it when you write long posts. Some of the people who only speak textese or who start a thread with too little information could learn a lot from you. And I will also vote to keep Fenner and MissCris as honorary singles even if they're married.

I don't have anyone on ignore right now, and haven't for a few months. There was one there for a while, but I put them there because of that verse about "if possible, so far as it depends on you, live in peace with all men." The ignore list temporarily made it easier to do that. ;)

I'd assume the mod would contact you privately with that warning. Which leads me to wonder if people on your ignore list can send you messages or PM you in chat.

I have a few on ignore. Only those I find to be trouble makers and harassing. I don't announce who it is or even Why I put them on ignore. I just do it and go on.
