What Does "Ignore" Mean?

[gamboolman]

I have searched and No Joy on finding out what it means to put a member on "Ignore"

Can you please advise what it means and how does it work?

Thanks, gamboolman.....

If you click on someone’s name, there is a button you can click so you don’t see any of their posts.

Uh oh! I accidently ignored all my friends. Now what??!?!

Hey! Did someone post something?

Except if the ignored one is quoted by someone else, I think. I wouldn't know. I think, sorry folks, to ignore someone by this method is childish. Ignore on your own, it's more grown up.

LOL. It's a childish way to "Get someone back."
On some forums, I've seen people use it as some kind of threat: "If you keep disagreeing with me, I'll put you on ignore." LOL!!

And I’m sorry Pepper but I think everyone is entitled to do whatever works best for them. If this isn’t for you, then feel free to not use it but there’s no need to criticize those who do.

Ok. Telling you my POV worked best for me. I'm one of "them" you know. ♥

 

[Keesha]

LOL. It IS childish but we both agreed to ignore each other and to be honest, it works. I don’t see any of her posts and she doesn’t see mine.

It works for me

Actually you gave your point of view about how you feel about others using it.

I ignore people who are disrespectful because I don't want anything to do with them; they're assholes. I don't care what they have to say or what their opinions are. Since we have the ability to "ignore" them programmatically, why not? It's more "childish" to bicker with them.

I agree that it's a good thing that the software allows us to keep posts away from us that can be upsetting or/and unnerving. I have used this option since I first joined and it has helped me. I found that when I did not use the software ignore option I would be reading posts that made me feel badly and I don't need that....life is hard enough...and I wish it to be pleasant.

Why must you bicker? Just asking. All I meant was I ignore all on my own without the function. I think as a society we've spent too much time ignoring stuff we find unpleasant and look where we are.

 

[gamboolman]

Thank you all for the replies and good banter...
I just did not know what the "Ignore" Button is and how it works.

Many times, I'd see posts that criticizes someone else's point of view. I guess it makes them feel superior; if that floats their boat, I let them be. Not knowing their situation in life, I prefer not to engage with them. We don't become vexations to each other's spirit.

I love a good debate, but too often in politics, it degenerates into an insult-fest, which I want nothing to do with. And I want nothing to do with people who act that way.

It means if you can't get along with a member you put them on ignore so you don't have to bother with their posts.

 

[macgeek]

if someone ticks you off you can ignore all their posts. like a facebook unfriend sort of.

What are you talking about? The state of society and this ignore feature are 2 different things...We are talking about the ignore option of the software on here--which is a pretty good idea and works very well, thank you.

Respectfully, ma'am, I bet they are not. You're welcome.

I never use Ignore, and can't imagine doing so. But this is just out of curiosity: If you put someone on Ignore, what happens to all the quotes from them that appear in other people's posts?

A disagreement only becomes bickering when one or both of the individuals lack communication skills & tact.

I just use the S.O.B. method Scroll On By

I just think it’s a shame we can only use an ‘Ignore’ online, how good would it be if we could use it in real life !

The ignore feature itself is useful for blocking those who intentionally try to "push your buttons". Nothing childish there.
