Ignore thread.

[Member 53328]

Is there anyway the ignore thread could be amended to show comments and simply not allow people to quote, tag or respond? I know some here really like and appreciate the ignore thread. My only issue is when someone has me on ignore I can no longer see their comments, which is fine but it makes following certain threads a bit confusing and misleading. I understand not wanting people to quote you or reply and tag your name but is it possible to be able to at least see the comments for the readers sake? If not possible I understand. Thank you.

Word.

It's been amusing to parse the members who have ignored me ( why? Idk or care ) .
But if the Duffer or mr. Pancakes has been actively contributing to the conversation I'm trying to read it's kinda difficult to follow.

I've always been in the "no ignore feature" camp.

As am I. But I know that it is simply wishful thinking to get rid of the ignore feature all together. But when I am reading through a thread and I can't see comment 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 then what's the point…. Personally I think the ignore feature is childish but I know others rely on it for their own reasons.

I can't be put on ignore. Perks of the job I guess. Of course, that brings out the hate.

Well at least you can follow the thread and it's context.

Yes. I've often wondered what it looks like when members are posting in the same thread and are ignoring each other. It's got to be confusing.

Some people just need their safe spaces. And Stomper is big and scary

But seriously, this is one of the big issues with this country. Too many people can't handle hearing/seeing things that they disagree with. #banthesilence #ignoretheignore #liberatetheword

Some unsolicited advice? Stop being such a dick and maybe less people will put you on ignore.

Lighten up, I'm only ribbing you.

I like to think of it as 'their loss'; to be missing out on all of the awesomeness of my posts, not 'my loss' on missing out on theirs.

Haha. I think I have more enemies then friends… let the bridges I burn light my way. No offense taken. I can see your comment so we must still be friends.

Back in the early days for me I LOVED the Usenet boards. Most were totally open. I thought it was a ton of fun but, many could not take it. Somehow could not use the "next" button.
So they had "filters" you could use on most readers. Many would put a bunch on filter then ask why there was no posts?
There used to be a LOT of what we called "grand exits". Where people would get butthurt and announce to all that due to "mean people" they were now leaving. I guess people were supposed to beg them to stay or something?

I figure what the hell whatever keeps them happy. If can be hard to figure out what is going on if parts of a thread are chopped up.

You're in luck. There *is* a way to see all the posts, regardless of ignore, with the added ability to *not* quote or respond to the person...open up a different browser or an incognito/private window in your same browser, copy the URL of the page over to it, and voila - you can see everything! Alternatively, just log out and go to the thread.

I understand that. Thanks.
