How many people do you have on ignore?

[Amy Jade]

Just counted and I have 19

(Please don't say who it'll just cause drama)

[RileyH]

None atm but I think the most I've had at one time is 5

[Ant.]

Never used it but I'm thinking of using it soon especially now RileyH is back

[Amy Jade]

I think a lot of mine are people who just post on season and post things like 'shes a fat cow' etc

I'm genuinely considering utilising the ignore function for BB19 for this reason but arguing over that kinda stuff boosts my post count so maybe not?

[RileyH]

you're going back on mine if you keep this up :hmph:

[Ashley.]

Just one. :hee:

[Epic.]

Nobody but I don't actually know how to ignore someone on here anyway :laugh: But still I don't think I'd ever have anyone on ignore because i'm usually curious to see what everyone thinks

You can just click the post to see it anyway if you're in a good topic.

[Daniel.]

None it’s rubbish you can still see the top of there post and I always click it if reading a thread

My ignore list (AKA the mod list)?

None

None....what's the point of a forum if you are not prepared to see what you don't want to see or have the maturity to see who is a twat and who isn't?

I am not prepared to sit and wade through posts like 'shes a fat cow' or 'he is a ugly prick' that some post over and over during on season. Not interested in those types of 'opinions' thanks.

It's incredibly mature to ignore twats.

Well of course that's up to you...I prefer to see people expose themselves for what they are and comment if necessary...the whole point of the forum.
But each to their own...

[rusticgal]

It's incredibly mature to ignore twats.

...and so simple and easy to do.

Good for you if that is how you deal with it. I prefer not to suffer idiots for longer than I have to :)

Is that a problem though?

No one said it was? Did I say someone did?
I was just asking if you personally found it a problem or not. Just not certain on your views on the whole 'ignore' thing :)

I don't 'suffer' them....I bypass their comments or respond to them if I want to. I don't see the problem. I just don't feel the need to put anyone on ignore. It's a personal choice and I'm merely explaining why I have never done it and never will. I like to see a whole debate rather than pick and choose who I do want or don't want to see. It's just my choice...:shrug:

As I have just said to Amy Jade...I like to see the whole debate so I never or will ever put someone on ignore. I simply scroll to the next comment if I find a comment inappropriate or if it's debatable then I comment.

[JerseyWins]

No one because I like to torture myself oop

[JerseyWins]

But I just generally don't have an issue with people tbh... and if I do I don't really care enough to completely block the person out especially online.

[Eddie.]

Zero though I may consider adding on to it if you know what I mean...

[Barry.]

I didn’t know you could ignore people.

[Maru]

For me, it helps for large discussion threads and the forum in general to be more readable. I feel like the context of the actual conversation actually makes more sense to me when sh%tposting is removed. Like there are people who no matter show up to relive the same arguments. Those people are not actually reading anything, they're just finding ways to get in and shift the conversation towards them because the thread is going a direction they don't like...

I also have a bad tendency to get distracted by side conversations and going off-topic as well, so it's also a reminder for myself to stay on-topic... and not to be distracted by those naughty side-conversations :skull:

And the third reason, but I think the most important... some I put on ignore because I've figured out they either overly sensitive or have some other pet peeve that makes my responding to them problematic. It is better to have them off than for me to accidentally piss them off. Which has happened to me in the past, so I like to think I am doing both people a favor.

I feel like it's a common courtesy to put someone on ignore who you know will never get on with (and who you feel cross with), than to argue with them and chase them around the board and continue the same arguments... there's literally no reason to keep reading their posts if it's just going to upset both people.

Just my thoughts.

[Denver]

None but I've been trying to post less

:laugh: so that's why you're always so composed :love:

[Shaun]

8. Only two of them still post, though.

Would've been only one if RileyH left for good

[Ammi]

...I had one person properly on ignore one time during BB season...it was when Alex Rose Lee was a housemate and her mum joined the forum...I think I got a little emotionally invested that year because I know how upset Alex’s mum obviously was with some of the harsher comments...and just general things about Alex’s past etc...anyway, I put one particular ‘Alex hater’ on ignore...other than that, not so much with ignoring though...it’s funny because maybe some members I could have put on ignore back in the day...are some I have had great friendships with over time...funny old world, funny old forum...

[thesheriff443]

Can this pointless thread be closed, calling members twats and idiots!

No one cares who you have on ignore.

[Barry.]

Who’s calling members names?

[Jordan.]

I don't really care enough to completely block the person out especially online.

^^ pretty much

0. It doesn't work work (the way I want it to). Then again, last time I tried was about 3 years ago, has it been updated since?

[Ashley.]

...and so simple and easy to do.

It takes a lot for me to put somebody on ignore, but if I'm finding the vast majority of somebody's posts irritating to the point where I'd rather not see anymore of them, then the function is great. I wouldn't use it as a quick fix simply because I don't agree/get along with somebody.

[Kizzy]

0 it doesn't work, I will be saying something and the person I have on ignore would respond and I won't see it then there'll be the 'Ha! see you have no answer for that'! :/

I prefer to see the whole debate.

[Nicky91]

0 because i find that rude and disrespectful

[Niamh.]

None, too nosey

I think you're my TiBB twin Annie :love:

[armand.kay]

Non, seems like a lot of effort when I can just keep scrolling if I want to ignore.

[hijaxers]

None - i did have one but he's not here anymore.

[MTVN]

Just checked and I do have one actually but they haven't logged on for over 6 years

Maru...you are too nice and so thoughtful. If I'm honest...sometimes I'm in the mood for a bit of mud slinging :laugh:

I always think everyone needs a little bit more zen in their life, but baby steps :love:...

Maru...you are too nice and so thoughtful. If I'm honest...sometimes I'm in the mood for a bit of mud slinging :laugh:

I think my problem is I empathize too easily with other people, especially online as there's no real boundaries there aside from ignore list... I used to be a really heavy poster, and I developed a lot of close relationships with certain people that way, but then I also realized too that it became too easy for me to "relate" to those folk and also feel for them when they were bullied online (as an example)... and when someone is ****posting, especially if it's towards someone I really respect and who I feel is being treated poorly even if they did enable some of it. It was hard for me not to feel very negative about that, even if I understand both sides, which is sometimes worse, because then I feel both people's stress... so now I just ignore out of compassion for myself. :laugh:

I still lurk, so it's not like I don't read those conversations when I'm logged out. But when they're squished, I know not to focus on them too much and then it just becomes habit and I probably don't even need ignore for 80% of those on it now (and half are long gone).. but I like the comedic effect of strolling into a thread and there are literally tiny crushed DIVs boxes everywhere, completely obliterating the thread.. I look forward to pulling back those layers sometimes and seeing a giant dumpster fire. It's like catching on the latest Donald Trump news/his twitter feed/media outrage. If I can't sleep, I just google his name right before bed or I read the latest SD news/dumpster fire... does the trick for my insomnia.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh, I wasn't aware of that at all. Has he actually said it was him?

yes he confirmed that it is him as was Jesus poster before

I thought he stopped posting ages ago

Hmmm...In that case, I might try marsh next :smug:

I can agree and disagree with this , however on TIBBS i have nobody on ignore as like you say i want to see stuff and if there's anything i don't want to see then i don't take part in it and it's that simple :shrug:.

But on youtube recently i got into an argument with an idiot who was really trying to press my buttons , so i had the last word and then blocked them and muted them :joker: .

[Black Dagger]

None lol I'm too nosey.

But like Black Dagger I'm quite nosey.:laugh:

[Kazanne]

I have 2, I don't as a rule agree with ignoring people as I'm nosey,but certain ones are just so obnoxious I would rather not interact with them , its like in real life if you don't like someone ,you don't talk to them, then there are no arguments.Most of the time I can just ignore by passing posts, but for the 2nd time in the 9 years Ive been here I have used the ignore button, so not done bad really.

[Withano]

Everyone apart from rileyh

[Livia]

36. Sadly you can still see them when someone else quotes them. In a perfect world when you have someone on ignore they shouldn't be able to see what you post. Instead quite a few of them make it their mission to answer, sarcastically and/or rudely usually, every post you make. It's a form of baiting that's perfectly acceptable on here.

[smudgie]

None.
My head is my ignore button.:hehe:

[Elliot]

I’ve only ever ignored one person, and they don’t even use this website anymore idt. That’s only really because they were blatantly homophobic and vitriolic

yes but she isnt blatant now, its more covert

like her "Gay Conversion therapy now 20% off at Holland and Barrett" thread before Christmas


(it wasnt 20% off it was only 10% :nono: and you had to buy like 4kg of quinoa to qualify)
