Mine has just grown by one. Not saying who. Should be obvious.

Sometimes, a reply post gets through and I'm reminded why they made the list.
The forum is significantly more enjoyable with the ignore function. Highly recommend.

I have two. One really has to be annoying, boring, or significantly mentally deficient for me to care enough to make the effort. Some of the Reddit rejects that washed up here have come close, but they tend to flame out pretty quickly.
What is the end result of putting someone on the list? I take it you just don't see their posts?
Correct. They've been sent to Coventry.
You mean the shit list? None so far. I just skip over some posts. Too many finger tapping on the phone. Easier to look the other way.
Good to know. BTW Sable, I now know that i'm not one of the two people on your list because you saw my reply
.I think I might be on one or two other peoples' ignore lists, though. Sometimes I reply to people and they don't reply or give a like etc.
Sorry, but I can't stop laughing thinking I might be on dozens of peoples' ignore lists.
Hahahaha
I don't use it. Many years ago I had to use it for one person on another forum who loved to post disgusting pictures of himself; but everywhere else I just scroll down and past.
Ignore lists may seem like a blessing but they can also allow the pest to speak ill of the frienemy with impunity; furthermore, they can make for awkward situations in which the ignoree is unaware the ignorer is ignoring him and can acknowledge and/or react to comments the ignorer makes. This happened to me once in an IRC chat channel in which I had set one member to ignore: one night he got into a convo with a third member and I was replying to the last named, because I could see his messages, but not the other guy's; to make matters worse, the third guy didn't know I was ignoring the first one and assumed I was addressing both of them with my replies. Based on how I was given to banter it's quite likely the first guy became even more incensed at me as he assumed some of by jocular comments were aimed at him, but they really weren't—how could they since I wasn't aware of anything he was typing?
I say, if you're gonna ignore someone, at least have the courtesy to notify him, and the awkwardness will be avoided.
As for the first case, well, I did an experiment in that same channel years before the episode told above. Two of the guys were being jerks and I told them I would set them both to IGNORE mode presently; then started acting as if I had. Sure enough, they immediately started talking crap about me. At one point one of them said, "he's ignoring us, so", and then I promptly typed "uh-huh, keep telling yourself that". They said "lol" and piped down afterwards.
So, I'll just scroll down.

It's a bit childish. I've used it once over 3 forums and it bit me. If I say more, I'll probably be on several ignore lists.
EDIT: I know I'm on the ignore list of at least one poster here

Weird...this thread was created over an hour ago, yet I'm making the first post here. 
I think I'll stop drinking for the evening...

Yeah, it’s odd. Days can go by with nobody posting in any of the forums.Weird...this thread was created over an hour ago, yet I'm making the first post here.

I don't use it because in the past, a problem would be a conversation was going that I couldn't follow because one of the two was on my ignore list. So usually I just scroll past.
Someone would have to be pretty egregious for me to put them on it, and by the time they made it that far, a moderator probably would have kicked them to the curb. But, I'm not on here enough to get annoyed enough by anyone to use it anyway. I lurk more than post, I usually have nothing of value to add.
But I also don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to use the ignore feature either.

I'm gonna put every single last one of you on my ignore list then it'll just be me talking to myself
Not yet. Check out the photo I just PM'd you..
I figured we'd all be dead by this morning.
I’m married with three kids and in-laws that struggle with boundaries. My natural ability to ignore is amazing. No machine assistance needed.
