How many people are on your ignore list?

[bif]

And what's the main reason you have them on it? Just curious.

[LynneSin]

1. One

Honestly, I see ignore more as a 'time-out' feature.

[Bunny]

2. There are currently 29, and the vast (and I do mean overwhelming) majority

are there because they routinely spam(med) the lounge with stupid posts. I have those on Level One Ignore, so I don't have to see their OPs but I can see their responses in other threads. There are really only a couple of people that I never want to see here, and they are on Level Three Ignore.

[tigereye]

19. hmm, I somehow missed the levels of ignore... even

though they are on the form and have been there a long time! :rofl: :hide:


My reasons are about the same- I find some posters annoying or I'm tempted to argue with em too much. I'll have to check this "levels of ignore" thing out!


:hi:

[Bunny]

23. You can ignore their OPs, their replies, and their PMs, or any

combination of the three. I only have a couple of people on Defcon 3! :hi: tigereye!

[tigereye]

26. I usually just put everyone on the highest level -never

really thought anything of it until you mentioned it!


Bunny - glad to have the kids back in school? I kind of miss mine, however, hiding in his room is more common now than being around downstairs! :D

[Bunny]

29. Yes, getting her back to school after the holiday break has been nice.

Although I miss being able to sleep in every morning. :hangover:

[tigereye]

35. yeah, it was wonderful not getting up early

I've felt about the same.

[Kaleva]

42. "spam(med) the lounge with stupid posts. "

I thought that was the purpose of the Lounge. It's the place to post stupid posts.

[wickerwoman]

49. Stupid posts, great,

the entire contents of your PM mailbox... not so much.

[Joe Fields]

72. Zero. Don't believe in ignore. I like reading everything.

I take the bad with the good. Don't believe in censoring people.

[Joe Fields]

73. Sorry, posted in wrong spot.

I don't believe in airing out private messages in public, either. That really crosses the line. People that do that should not be ignored. They should be banned, period.

[here_is_to_hope]

3. Maybe 30, leftovers from '08, a few

recent adds because life is too short to bother with idiots and trolls.
I find it funny when I see others arguing with 'ignored' in sub-threads.
May or may not mean something but 23 of them are not donors.
Looking at the list, seems a few have had a pizza and left the building...

[Renew Deal]

5. Don't you feel like you're missing something when you see ignored?

I would wonder what's being said.

[here_is_to_hope]

8. Naw, while ignored may have something

meaningful to add, some one else will be along shortly to say the same thing without snark, malice or trolling.

[Iggo]

9. Yes. It interrupts the flow.

Same with "Deleted Message", to tell you the truth.

[Renew Deal]

4. 0.

Ignore is mostly for those that can't understand there are people with other points of view. I want the full DU experience.

[here_is_to_hope]

10. And not using ignore is mostly

for those who can't understand that there is no reasoning with some people.
Your post is the type of snark that serves no purpose, not even lulzy.
I wish I could understand that there are other points of view...:evilgrin:

You have another point of view, I read it, it tells me I am incapable of understanding that there are other points of view.

mfw:eyes:

[Renew Deal]

11. lol

Your post is funny. I get there is no reasoning sometimes. There are times when I don't reply because it's not worth the trouble. I've seen too many discussions that go from disagreement to ignore just because of disagreement.

Ignore only really makes sense to me in a stalking situation.

[wickerwoman]

47. I had 0 for years, now have about 5 or 6

mostly because of the boredom factor. I don't add people because I disagree with them. I've added a few because sometimes half a forum is taken up with their inane and boring posts which really should have been PMs. And now, thanks to the ignore feature, as far as I'm concerned they are! No more scrolling through three pages of threads to find one or two that I'm interested in replying to.

[Iggo]

6. Zero.

[NoGOPZone]

7. A surprisingly high number

but a surprisingly high percentage eventually get tombstoned.

[siligut]

13. I put those potential pizza recipients into my Buddy List

I went through my Buddy List a few days ago and almost 1/2 are now six feet under. I have only one person on Ignore, it seemed he couldn't just leave me alone.

[Crystal Clarity]

17. Me too

But I wish Skinner would take Kali's suggestion about being able to add a quick message to self next to those names regarding why they are there. I've got an odd mixture of folks who have made both bad AND good impressions on me but have since forgotten who is who. Kind of a dumb thing to have done on my part, but I honestly thought at the time of adding them that I'd have a better memory as to why. Oh well.

[siligut]

24. I know about the memory thing all too well

Not dumb at all, this memory thing just blindsided me. I keep a small notebook at my desk. I have to. I think we are close to the same age, it is a hormonal thing, so frustrating. I take Maca and Piracetam, an old, time tested, memory enhancer.

[Crystal Clarity]

37. I had to look them up.

Sounds promising and worth a try. Particularly the Piracetam. I'm always looking for things like this. Acidophillus for ex. has helped me greatly w/digestive issues, and I use Melatonin for sleep. Still have some insomnia but not nearly as bad.

Thanks for the tip! :hi:

[siligut]

38. Maca really helped me with hot flashes and mood

Didn't want to go the horse pee route. I wholly agree with Pro-Biotics, PM me if you need help finding Piracetam. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Two.

And they asked Skinner to be put on an administrative mutual forced ignore with me.

I guess I annoyed them...

We rarely interacted here, and I just don't get it.

Meh...I don't worry about it anymore. Life is too short to wonder what motivates some people...

[siligut]

16. They couldn't take your light Peggy

You are such a beautiful and encouraging person. Some people need to stay safe and content in their dark little corners.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear siligut...

Ah, that's very sweet of you, but I don't think so...:hug:

There was something else going on here, and I don't know what it was.

I very rarely see them post in any thread I'm in, and I don't miss them at all.

[siligut]

30. I remember you saying something about people who didn't like the happiness of others.

I didn't know what that was about, but now I guess I have a better idea. Maybe your poetry is just too effective for them, I know it is sometimes for me. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. I'd forgotten saying that...

But I really appreciate your thoughtfulness...

Thank you...:hug:

[Pool Hall Ace]

36. administrative mutual forced ignore?

As in, "you two can't play together anymore" ?

I've never heard of it, but if it works, I can see why it is useful.

And I totally agree with your last sentence! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear Pool Hall Ace...

Yeah, that's how it works.

Thanks, sweetie!

:hi:

[MilesColtrane]

14. None

I reset every New Years.

On December 31st there were about seven.

[era veteran]

15. Only one I think tombstoned now

Hi fructose pron syrup. A truly disturbed man.

[Renew Deal]

21. He wasn't tombstoned

Last I checked he was on a 30 day suspension. But his profile is still active. You should say hi. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=188165

[pintobean]

65. .

truly disturbed

[Richardo]

18. 39

Most are either Lounge spammers with elementary-school level wit, or GD 'writers' or 'satirists' who can do neither well.

Some are no doubt tombstoned, I don't care enough to find out. (On edit: OK, I went to find out: 7 are tombstoned)

I find the judicious use of 'Ignore' keeps 'My DU' an overall pleasant experience.

[old mark]

20. None. I read everybody's posts, no matter how stupid. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. The Mods, in their infinite wisdom, have seen fit to place me on

forced ignore with 27 people - half of which have been tombstoned. Two of these people evidently do not know how to use the ignore feature and requested Forced Ignore with me and several others. meh. whatever. Keep the peace. :hippie:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. ...

:hug:

[Lucian]

28. I don't have any on ignore.

I don't know why some wear their high ignore numbers like a badge of honor. It seems to me that they have no thickness in their skin for anonymous internet posters.

[here_is_to_hope]

71. lulz....

"I don't know why some wear their high ignore numbers like a badge of honor. It seems to me that they have no thickness in their skin for anonymous internet posters."

I don't know why some wear their no one on ignore numbers like a badge of honor. It seems to me that they have too much thickness in their skin for anonymous internet posters.

I see what I did there.
:eyes:

[RandomThoughts]

31. Nobody is on my ignore list.

[eyepaddle]

32. None. I just get too curious and need to know what's going on.

Plus, while I generally don't repsond to the "problem children" I can usually find some entertainment in watching the train wrecks in real time.

For some reason I get the feeling that one or two have me on ignore though.

[Pool Hall Ace]

58. How could someone put you on ignore

when you have that cute paddling smiley in your sig? :D

[eyepaddle]

67. I think it is a Vikings vs Packers thing, to be honest.

Plus one of the guys got real pedantic in explaining mathematical inequalities to me...which I understand pretty well btw, his was ill defined and seemed to imply that we all agreed that the Clash was a great band.

And if there is one thing the Lounge has taught me--there is NO musical question upon which we all agree!

I might have been a tad blunt in my reply. ;)

[Arkansas Granny]

33. None.

[frogmarch]

39. None. nt

[bigwillq]

40. 11

Most I am on "forced ignore" with, from some of the Lounge wars back in the day.

[seabeyond]

41. i have never used ignore. dont know how.... clueless. nt

[Kaleva]

43. Have never put anyone on ignore.

I just it manually by skipping over what they posted.

[muffin1]

45. Zero

I'm too curious.

[Mike 03]

46. Nobody

A few years ago I placed one person on my Ignore List, but immediately felt guilty and changed that. He was very intelligent. I see putting someone on my Ignore List as a sign of weakness for me, that I am avoiding facing something uncomfortable.

[kayakjohnny]

48. What? Is there a thread here? Am I replying to something?

Just kidding.

No ignores for me.

I just try to look at the place as a group dynamic.

And I skip over certain threads by certain people.

I don't dislike them enough to ignore however.

But I may try it one day just to see how it works.

:)

[MrScorpio]

50. No one is on my list

If I have a problem with something that some has posted, I have no qualms about voicing my objections.

[Kali]

53. yeah, but depending on style, that is how admin forced ignores can happen

}(

of which I have one, which in retropect is fine. the person was someone I formerly had some things in common with, but they turned into a real asshole - PMing me with rude nasty comments. (in retrospect, I think they were always an asshole - always spouting off their "superior" "credentials" and putting others down in the most base way)

I have two others that were requested by the two individuals, fairly sure the same two as Tuesday Afternoon and CAPeggy, up thread. Agree with what they said - not really sure why, never had a bad interaction of the few we did have and WTF? they REQUESTED a forced mutual ignore, rather than just putting me (us) on ignore themselves???

[AmandaMae]

51. none...yet. But I'm still fairly new here,

and I don't even know how to ignore someone.

[Ohio Joe]

52. One

The person is an open Ron Paul supporter. I have no idea why s/he has not been banned.

[JonLP24]

54. 1

He's since been banned. There were probably others that probably deserved my one ignore more but that person posted very little of value to me. An asshole on top of that. I even took him off once only to put him back on.

[madinmaryland]

59. Heh! I can't imagine who that might be!

:rofl:

[JonLP24]

60. It is most likely not who you are thinking

The person that I had on ignore never went to the sports forum. If he did it was very rare.

[NewJeffCT]

55. 166,171

give or take.

just kidding. I've had the same number on ignore for 7+ years: zero.

[hayu_lol]

57. Zero...

only used ignore once in the 10 years I've been here.

[SPKrazy]

56. I can't read your post

but I'm sure it is enlightening :P

[flvegan]

61. 8 on Ignore.

Why? We'll leave it at it makes my DU experience more pleasant.

[panader0]

62. None ever..........

[trackfan]

63. None. If someone is an ass, it's nice when they're assism

goes to work on one's own side of an issue.

[baldguy]

64. 11

Because they're assholes.

[emilyg]

66. 1

[av8rdave]

68. One

[mentalsolstice]

69. Eleven

Eight of whom are/were Forced Ignore, many are now TS'd. I also have a couple of people who are fine, but they spam. And one person who is so disingenuous, the DU persona is a total creation and nothing like the actual person IRL.

[guitar man]

70. Zero

It's no fun watching a train wreck unless you can see each and every car piling up :P
