“Also ignore user __________”

- Start date
I don't ignore users or threads. I get annoyed by some people or exhausted by regurgitated topics or new posts for everytime a YouTuber makes a new video but that's life. Sometimes you will encounter annoying people. Ignoring it is one thing but pretending it doesn't exist is creating a private delusion in my mind.
It fills up w older threads haha that would be funny if it just left a blank space until the whole page was empty tho
Not necessarily a blank page, but you see threads that would normally be on page 2 (because who actually goes past page 1? I don't) and i guess i just curate this side of the site to see the threads i want to see.
I mean i do the same with gaming side, more so with console warrior bait threads.
Eh...I don't think that's polite to say, I don't wish the person any ill will
That's what this is for.
By popular demand...the return of Hide Forum Threads!
Ever get tired of all those uninteresting threads clogging up your Resetera screen? I certainly do, and I always wished there was a way to get rid of the threads I don't care about and only see the ones that are new or interest me. So I wrote a script to do it. To hide a thread, look for the...

I only use mobile 😢 I would LOVE to use that feature
I ignore threads when I see a topic dominating for a really long time. Currently it's pretty much every SW thread. I understand it's hot right now but I find the discussions about SW very circular and repetitive. I'd rather filter them out so I can see other topics that might be getting pushed out. I never ignore the user who makes the thread.
So much this.
I started by just ignoring the threads. But then it started to get ridiculous with all kinds of threads for every stupid star war related thought that would enter the minds of some posters. At that point, I started to ignore users.
If you have a SW avatar and made a SW thread, pretty much on my ignore list.
I never thought I'd use such a feature, always thought people would be civil enough in here despite differences of opinion. I mean, if this was an option back at GAF, I was completely unaware of it and would never think to use it.
However, after being insulted in a thread once where I'd barely begun to say anything (for daring to point out that not everyone who had a differing opinion was an asshole - even though I ultimately agreed with them, I didn't really get the chance to say so) and seeing the mods do nothing about it, I thought the best thing for everyone involved was to use that feature. Haven't used it since, and I hope I never have to again, but I am glad it exists, as awful as it is.
I didn't even know about the ignore thread option, that might be handy for clearing the first page of those threads where I have nothing to contribute but they always seem to linger.

Damn I regret hearing about u getting insulted like that. And yea it's super handy for cleaning the page up!
I barely care about the first page of the forum. I auto-sub with no notifications to any thread I post in and so my subscription page is my main page for here. I then check Latest Threads every once and a while to check what's new.
Crazy that so many people still aren't using the ignore thread feature. There are SO MANY threads that are popular enough to constantly be on the main page, but I have zero interest in, so they'd just be taking up space. Do you people literally go in every single thread?
I do what I posted right above your post. Looking at the forum thread list is a waste of time.
Well, you got your own thing going. That wouldn't work for me.
But you'd have to do so much less skimming!
I find it much easier to simply ignore the poster rather than step into every thread I've no interest in. The same individuals typically cover the same topics so it's far more convenient.
That being said, if the directory had an ignore function I'd forgoe muting posters in favour of it.

I rather see people and the forums for who they really are and what the forums really is. When I've seen enough of the negatives of a person, I will ignore/block them. Though if it's really bad, I will outright ignore/block immediately. Now in this particular forums scale, I will do all of those AND report them too.
Ignoring individual users seems intellectually dishonest.
There are some dumb/toxic commenters out there, but I believe its up to the mods and the community to make them do better and not just smashing that ignore button anytime someone says something I disagree with. Shrug.
I should definitely get used to ignoring threads I know I wont read though

I only ignore one person and that's because they post a lot in UK politics threads and it's the same shit every single time. I don't dislike them particularly but the constant one-note posting just got too much.
I do purge threads on certain subjects I'll not interested in every so often though.

Its funny I accidentally put someone on ignore and didn't know it, until they posted again and it bothered me so much I unignored them.
Yeah , this.
Yeah , this.
You're creating a private delusion anyway if this is what you think
Some people just want to clear out threads they have no interest reading
This is a videogame forum
If this forum acts as an aggregate of information then you ignore certain people to increase the signal to noise ratio
Its self aggrandizing and defeating to pretend that you should keep yourself open to habitual low content posters... especially the ones the mods allow the continue their themed shitposting

I don't ignore anyone, but I wonder what it's like to see an ignored persons post in a thread or if the ignored person is quoted, how that works?
(I know that sentence ^ was shit but I'm tired fam)

Not gonna lie, Andrew Korenchkin, there was one week in particular when I had enough of your City/State superlatives. I needed a break. 😩
