Coming from Atlas, I don't think this complaint is really about "I put you on ignore" diluting relevant content.   Atlas has an extensive history of creating irrelevant threads and leading off-topic tangents in other peoples' threads.

I suspect that the real reason Atlas has made this request is because he's disheartened that so many people are ignoring him, and wants to feel like he can still influence the people who are ignoring him.  

I agree that posts which have no other content than declaring "I'm ignoring you" are a waste of space on this forum.  People should only post relevant comments/information in threads, and if its irrelevant to the topic at hand, moderators should move or remove it.  However, I don't think "you're ignored" posts need a special moderation policy - irrelevant is irrelevant.

In some threads, the only content is "I put you on ignore".

I know there is an ignore ratio, but can we get an automatic ban when that ratio rises above some threshold?

What if they give you a shiny yellow ignore button and tell you about it but also post relevant content in the same post? Would Athole still be able to get it deleted from one of his hundreds of threads then?

Not as long as the on-topic content is substantial.

On another note, if you feel such an overwhelming desire to put me or somebody else on ignore, please do it and shut up about it. We don't need to hear about it. It's great that you have a tool to cope with your intolerance for other people but we really don't care about your victory over your mental obstacle.

Just ignore them! Cheesy

I like to challenge myself not to. Love, kindness, tolerance and all that shit.

It's not automatic, but if you report the posts, we'll take care of it.
