Glad to be of service to restore one of the old forumsā functionalities and the forum equivalent of the in-game ignore tool then!

Yes, thatās what it is, exactly.
I personally donāt want to use it, so Iām not going to use it- But, as said, I understand the appeal for others who want to use it. After youāve discussed x topic with a person a million times maybe itās just easier for some people to just ignore the other person and not think too deep into it. Yeah, it can backfire as you say, but then again, as said, I always put the individual enjoyability above the collective.
Whether thatās healthy or not is another topic.
to reply with equal courtesy and intellect: just scroll past it forehead
I suppose thatās the problem, I donāt. Itās less about how healthy it is (and tbqh itās not much of a topic/discussion, the answer should be obvious) and more about how pointless it is. Why visit a forum if you just end up silencing it?

There is absolutely no difference between ignoring a post by scrolling past it quickly to avoid the content and just having it not appear in the first place - in both cases by your own words youāre creating an echo chamber - so Iām thinking youāre talking absolute bag and either have tripped over your own tongue or donāt really even believe what youāre saying
walks towards you quickly and opens this dialogue window

I ignore one person on this forum.
Theyāre an OOC mong and never say anything of value. I donāt mind people who disagree because I like a good argument, but if they just chat crap for the sake of it, I have no time for them.

Yeah there is, because sometimes even dumb posters can end up revealing some cool thoughts that I might agree with and then end up seeing quoted/spoken about by others.
Mate stop trying so hard to force your point, itās honestly starting to look rlly silly. People just wanna put some consistently annoying people who add nothing of value to whatever topic is at hand on ignore. Thatās not āsilencing the forumā, thatās muting the incoherent screeching so it doesnāt block out the actual conversation.

yeah that really was all it was from the start, thanks for understanding :-/
well itās ok none of those account IDs are yours (though posting like this might have people seek your ID out and add it themselves eventually!)

As far as I understand you can still see quotes with this method (IDK, I donāt use it) - and it certainly canāt remove every mention of a point made. If you scroll past and read a bit, that is something entirely different to ignoring them - which is an old forum functionality that was removed that they say they will re-add at some point anyway. I think you are making a truly arbitrary distinction just for the sake of the post and basically, for me this is not one of those times

this is correct. I can still see quotes from the 1 singular person I have on my list.
thatās very reassuring, Iāll make sure not to repeat the mistake again + thank you for warning me for my foolishness ((unironically))

btw
Iāll look yours up if you ever get to the point of the 1 person i have blocked but i donāt think you could even on purpose.

Looks like the OP got reported.
Sad!
While I am much a person in favour of a block/hide function for posts/posters on forums and other social outlets, all I can see from OP is another way to breed more toxicity into the forums, which AD forums already have.
If you donāt like a poster or a post then just ignore them and move on. Nobody is presumeably having a gun held to their head forcing them to read or reply.
That said, if people feel the OPās suggestion will help better their own forum experience then I donāt see a reason not to use it.

How does having people on ignore breed toxicity?
