PSA about the ignore feature

Recommended Posts

When configuring ignoring someone, you get options for WHAT you want to ignore of theirs, and one of those options is to ignore mentions.  This should prevent you from being notified when someone tags you so you don't have to ignore EVERYTHING from that person but for those people who are serial taggers you can ignore them tagging you.

People who put people on ignore, pay the most attention to those people they say they are ignoring. 

See pimpledoosh. ;)

Yep, all four are always checked...  It is a shame that it isn't smart enough to hide people that quotes someone on the ignore list...

Not sure what you mean here.  You can uncheck any that you want so you can choose to only ignore some things.  In this case, I'm calling out the ability to JUST check the box labeled "mentions" which should prevent you from being notified when someone tags you in a post.  Some of us get frequently tagged for no constructive purpose; simply to annoy us.  This allows us to prevent that.

Hence why I get nothing from like 40+ people.

I meant when I decide to ignore someone, I check all four boxes of the feature...

Yes.  Just takes some extra steps.  

Bestow me your tree of knowledge on how to do that so I can ignore Bunny.

Can you set ignore on mobile ? I’m a retread. 

Tap the hamburger icon in the upper right hand corner...
Click on account...
Click on ignored users...
In the box that says "Add new user to ignore list", start typing in the individual you would like to ignore...  Keep typing until you see the name pop up in the list...
Click on the user in the list and then check the boxes you want to ignore...  There are four options and I usually click all four...
Click Add User button...

That user is now ignored, but you will need to reload the browser for the changes to take effect...

Enjoy...

My ignore list had about 2 or 3 people on it from years ago, these people don't even post here any more. 

However in the last few months, it's grown exponentially. I find it particularly funny when these ignored people keep slap fighting and I'll have a whole bunch of ignored posts in a thread. 

Still pretty easy to figure out what's going on though, since these people never seem to shut the fock up about the same whiny garbage.

I have never put someone on ignore.  Sounds like a setting for women.

Well at least @TheNewGirl has an excuse

Or does “she” ?

I am forever a dude here. I've met a geek and talked to one on the phone, they can vouch that I am indeed a woman. Or cis hetero woman for some of you.

You're far too amusing and entertaining to ignore.
