Topic: Know who ignores who - page 4. (Read 1185 times)

It's true... sometimes it would be useful to have an "ignore" button in real life, so we don't have to put up with some people. 

Maybe one day ... Like an episode of the "Black Mirror" series portrayed the connection between social networks and real life.

Now that is something one should not be interested about. If there is ignore feature then that is for a reason man, it clearly indicates someone doesn’t want to see the messages because they either dislike the person, dislike their posts or something else which probably triggered them to click the ignore button next to the profile.

Also, what one is going to do if they come to know someone has ignored them? Talk to them? Make oneself look like too kind to go and talk about it?

Jeez I can’t even get proper reply from my neighbour when I greet them in the morning despite the fact that we once shared beer together.  So you stop greeting them and drink beer with friends / gang. 

Well, then, you must be one of the very few early members of this forum (pre-2015) who doesn't. I get to read comments here where veteran members talk about how they easily place other users on their ignore list because of slight provocation or disagreement in principle. For me, I don't have any ish with users placing other users on ignore for whatsoever reason because I know it's a matter of choice and doesn't get above that. The one I don't like is when users try to lord it over others like they hold the oxygen they breathe.

Exactly. If you ignore them, you wouldn't see that change, and you could spend a long time ignoring someone who now even brings value to the community. Attention, I understand the idea of the ignore feature, for my style it's just not useful. But for those who find it useful, let it be used well.

People change, but if you ignored them early on in their forum stay and never bothered to check their posting after that, you might not notice that change. There are examples of spammers and bounty hunters who came here for free tokens and shitcoins, tried it out, realized how pointless it is, so they changed their attitudes and became integrated in the normal workflow of the forum. If it made sense having such members on ignore at the beginning of their Bitcointalk 'careers', it doesn't any longer.

I don't happen to have anyone! 

Never click that button, because it will be very difficult for a user to bother me at that point. If you need to ignore a post, ignore it without resorting to this feature. Hardly a user will bother me. If I really don't like someone, just don't reply to their comments, that's the best way to handle the situation. But, I can say that this doesn't happen to me here, I like to get along with everyone.

I don't think who you've ignored should be public. All it would do is cause drama and arguments. Back in the day I believe people's ignore button would glow different colours depending on how many people had ignored you but that was removed. If you really want to ignore someone just ignore them and don't respond to their posts. You can usually tell who has ignored you though because ironically they will tell you at every opportunity which is of course the digital/online equivalent of sticking your fingers in both your ears and going "nah, nah, I can't hear you"  .

People get into fights for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of someone's posting. Because of those conflicts, you might end up on that person's ignore list. Everyone has the right to ignore anyone they want to, but I have always looked at that list as a place where you put the worst spammers of them all and not someone you disagreed with for whatever reason.

But I don't think these lists should be public and it's a good thing they aren't. Imagine if you could see the people who reported your posts for rule violations and the drama that would ensue? Instead of a normal discussion board, this would turn into a payback community where many would hold grudges against others and look to get them into the same problems they were in.

Then you go to war if you knew 😂. I believe there are users you ignored too. Would you want them to know they're ignored by you? I think it's best not to bother one's brain about a minute issue like that. I'm sure there are users on whose ignore list I am but I don't want to let that bother me a bit. They must've their reasons for taking such an action but I'm not going to be bothered by their action. That's a past for me. Anything past shouldn't be a weight on anyone. There's a reason a vehicle's windscreen is bigger than its side mirrors. The windscreen sees the front and that's the future while the side mirrors are for things behind (past).

Okay, I hadn't understood it that way.
In that sense, yes, some users would no longer be able to participate in campaigns, mainly those that were ignored by DT users.

It appears that you may not have fully comprehended the context of the posts you are replying to. We were discussing a hypothetical situation in which ignore lists were made public. Clearly, that is not the current state of affairs.

Since the ignore list is private, this analysis is not very logical. Because a manager doesn't know if that user is being ignored by others or not.

The only way for this to happen is for the manager to have also ignored that user, otherwise he will be seen as any other user.

I read a good point from your posts. If ignore list is made public, some reputable members may convert it to be their armour of war and intimidation. When a member is in the ignore list of upto 10 members, that particular user may become unhireable by any manager. This cannot happen if everyone distrust a user. Unless they are given neg tags.
This forum arrangement is not perfect but it is cool manageable and and nice

I doubt we've got any means to know exvept for users that have got there ignore losy spelt out on reputation. I really don't hope for there to be any means put in place to help users know when they've been ignored though. It could introduce bias you know, users getting to ignore other users just because, they've found themselves to be ignored by a certain user. Actions and reactions because, its surely going to come to that.

Just now, am wondering what it would seem like should every other user that feels the need create some ignore list thread. 3hat a mess it would be, don't you think!

Is it even important at all? Cus, it doesn't add any phycological value to you, or does it? You seee, alot of things that's been made to function in here had been pondered overtime before getting fixed - just the way you see 'em.
You know some peeps are bullies in real life!? Sometimes, they don't like you, not because they've known you personally but, maybe you don't seem to speak in their favor or something else? IDK ... peeps like this would go a long way ignoring you, hoping it hurts you or make you feel disrespected, neglected or taunted.. cus they know you're certainly gonna get a notification or something else to acknowledge that fact that you've been ignored.
BTW, it's an individual choice so I feel whatever anyone does on the Southside, shouldn't affect anyone on the northland --

Ignoring someone's post doesn't matter because you don't want to see the person's posts or comments. But if everyone starts to ignore one another and creating a massive list for that, then who will reply or comment on who again? Then bitcointalk forum will become a Ghost Town or Society. And really publishing ignore list publically causes social maladies directly or indirectly from the listed users against the publisher, and that also causes attacks directly or indirectly. As for me I don't advise publishing ignore list but everyone has their own reasons of doing that. In most time, ignore list is coming from reputable users in the forum who would have been a mentor or a litigators to the others.

In real life if someone offense you and you don't want to greet or associate with the person as a neighbor, you can mute yourself and pass, and definitely you must see the person but you just have to be yourself. And you don't have to tell your other neighbors that these are the people I will not talk to in this compound, reason because they are my enemies. If you publish your ignore list, that shows that they are your enemies in the forum so you don't want to see them and making comments on their post so they too see you as such. Though there are different things making a user to create an ignore list but don't publish it. Ignore list in my interpretation means CREATING ENEMIES in the forum because nobody will be happy seen his or her name in the ignore list. She or he will ask him or herself, what did I do to this user to be listed in his or her ignore list.
I am even Afraid that this my comment will enter someone ignore list.

I don't really think if it matters if you being ignored or not, the thing is we shouldn't put much importance to it. Drop your post and move on, if you're being ignored is just something you over look after all we have over a thousand or more than a thousand people on this forum, so to me it's pointless.

Well everyone have their own reason for ignoring someone. In my opinion it's better to put those users into ignore list whose post are meaningless and is a waste of time and also the one's who you think are involved in kind of a war with you.
I guess sharing of the said list publicly is quite unethical, whatever the reason maybe is unjustifiable.

Unless the guy shows his ignored list then that's the only way to find you are on his ignored list or not, even if you are on a guy's ignored list you can still pm him only if your post is not showing up on him, if the guy you think you are in his ignored list he will never quote you on topics that you both are posting because he cannot read what you're posting.
Honestly, I have no one on my ignored list I consider everyone here as my colleague, and deserves my respect even if they don't reciprocate.

We cannot know who ignored us but we can see our own ignored list, one does not need to bother about if ignored by someone or not, since this forum is a large community and we have people with different opinions on a different perspective, but you have to have this great confidence that as long as you're not a spammer, shitposter or a troller to the forum there's high probability that you may not get ignored by any chance but if at all you do it may not be much as others may have gotten, but most times i report a thread to moderators than using the ignore button.
