Enough to simply keep them out of here, I think.

I am completely agnostic on the ignore mod.
Seems people essentially filter out what they
don't want to read, anyhow.

The only reason for it, IMO, would be to be
able to stick one's head even further into the
sand, and never be tempted to seeing.

So you would rather someone ruffle the feathers of the ruling clique, then get banned just so you have something to complain about and go "haha, those in power are abusing it, I'm better than them for pointing it out"?

Not even certain how what you're asking has any relevance to this
issue.

Nor am I sure, when you use the word rather, what the alternative is.

Figures, as I've seldom been able to make sense out
of your posts. But, given that you are touching on
matters of site policy, I figure I should make this effort.

Yeah, whatever.

But really, if someone wants to ignore someone because they annoy them or make their blood boil or whatever, why do you have to turn that around and make it a negative thing about that person by refering to it as "wanting to stick their head in the sand"?

Seems to be that you want to be able to harp on and on about something to someone without them being able to not hear you. You want to be able to trap them into your dialogue. Or you want them to be answerable to made up accusations from your detective work or that of like minded people. It's no secret that you value chaos, but that doesnt mean you get to ram it down the throats of others. I'm sure that there are a few people that treat this place and perhaps a few others as their only social outlet. If you want a handful of arseholes to be able to ruin that for someone because you think they should be made to listen to something that could be really stressing them out, good for you. How does that make you feel? Not too bad I suppose.

Funny how that things that annoy you are more important that things that annoy others that you dont happen to agree or care about.

i think an ignore mod will just divide the board up to groups who only listen to each other and not those on their beloved ignore lists. blah.

I guess we could put the ignore option on trial for, let's say, a week.

I will ignore myself  :toporly:

(if I do decide to stay of course :P)

I think a trial would be good, but longer than a week, maybe a month or two. Personally, I pobably wont use it, but I'd rather someone have the option of using it instead of them either leaving of their will or being banned.

It's one of those things, I'd rather it be there and not need it over it being needed but not there.

I doubt it. I suspect most members here already read very selectively. An ignore mod would simply help them to read more efficiently.

I don't read every thread on the board, but the ones that I'm interested in, I read the responses of every member.
