    Imo, ignore is a stupid function.

    It is similar to sticking your fingers in your ear and yelling, "LALALALALALA" while another is talking.

    Hell I'd like to know when and if someone is being a prick. Sometimes it can be quite entertaining so I'm not gonna go, "OMG I SAW THEIR POST!!! ".

    Instead of telling me who posted make it say something like this:
    This message is hidden because this user is on your ignore list.
    Though it would be nice to get rid of that message as well.
    I quite agree, it would be nice to not know at all. In some cases, that statement makes me curious and I end up reading the damn posts anyway, which in turn, generally pisses me off. I'd rather just believe that they don't exist.

    That said, the quote function more or less kills the usefulness of the ignore function anyway.

    In some case that happens, but the people I put on ignore are hardly ever quoted because they never post anything of any worth.

    The people I want to put on ignore are insipid,boring and their posts make me stupidier for having glanced at them. I put them on ignore to save me scrolling too much. As it stands the ignore function is a little as you say (I know they're talking, I can see they're talking I just don't know what they're saying), but if the mods tweaked it a bit it would be more like barring someone from phoning your mobile or getting a restraining order.

    I doubt a silent majority exists here who actually use the ignore function as the supposedly non-evil creators intended i.e. rather than as a subject matter itself to use for a weird transparent kinda passive aggression >_<

    you humans and your ways

    Has anyone got me on ignore,if so is it because I talk mainly gibberish,sometimes balderdash but mainly gobbledygook.
    Or am I just boring?

    All spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in my post's are intentional.
