Have you figured it out yet or are you still PMing people “on your ignore list” telling them how to post?

Kind of boggles my mind that this thread in the last 24 hours has more comments than some PGT after a win. I got sucked in not knowing the backstory and had to catch up. 30 mins of my life I am never getting back.

Please, the season can't come soon enough in my opinion.

Off topic, but why are so many posters into blocking other posters posts? You can just ignore them. If you're getting that worked up about them, you can also just walk away from the computer. There are many posters I disagree strongly with on various issues and some I find just straight up intolerable. Don't think I'd ever block anyone though. The mods are pretty good at filtering out the straight up trolls and bigots. That leaves the annoying (a matter of perspective) posters and posters you disagree with.

Surely, there must be something you can take away from a poster you don't like.

I'd say the only real issue I have with the site right now is the white knighting and dogpiling that goes on sometimes. That's something inherent of the internet though.

Good that you had those pitchforks ready.

Agree with blankall though. It does seem that some (maybe many) posters use the ignore feature a bit too much. That feature makes it easy to create an echo chamber, if used with a low threshold.

Personally, my ignore list has grown almost exponentially since COVID started. I'm a little better now that things have normalized a little, but that first year or so of COVID I lacked the capacity and bandwidth to deal with what I perceived to be bullspit, so it was better for myself and for the folks spouting it if I just couldn't see it at all.

I also missed the pic. Really glad to see FG come through though! He's been a solid poster for a while, so people were definitely jumping to conclusions about him conning us.

As I said before, the initial timeline seemed pretty unrealistic and glad to see FG take his time and get things done.

I'm curious how many people have me on ignore. Is there such a function to tell you?

I wonder if people wonder if they're on other people's ignore lists. That'd be cool to know.

I can neither ignore nor be ignored. Mod powers have a major draw back.

To me the only usefulness is that it would save me the time of responding to posters who won’t even see it.

I like making people think they're on my ignore list. Its fun.
