When you add someone to your ignore list you don't see their replies or topics they've created.
They WILL see your posts though.
For me it is (useless), but others find is useful.
For a lot of liberals, it's a lifesaver.

You stop seeing their posts. If they haven't ignored you, they'll still see yours.

On this particular Board, I find it very useful. If there was no ignore I wouldn't participate here.
Not useless for me. I got caught up in the flame wars, so it's better for me to ignore and remove the temptation.
Scheme difference.
For me it is worthless. But I don't care enough about what anybody says to get all tore up when somebody disagrees with me, so I don't need it.
But I can see where some people, who do get all tore up about it, would find such a function very useful. Some people would not be able to navigate an open forum without this feature.
But yes, to some people it is worthless.
I can see how one might feel that way.
One the one hand, you no longer have to see what someone you don't want to see is posting;
on the other hand, they can still see you
It gets comical though when people make the statement (especially over and over and over again) "I'm putting you on ignore!"
Then, (often in other threads, but sometimes the same) the one who claims to be ignoring will respond to something the person they supposedly are ignoring said
. Lesson is: Don't say you're going to ignore someone unless you actually are going to.
We can all see it being played out.
Personally, I don't use it.
But I do know plenty around here who do.
Oh, the other comical thing with it is that if you are ignoring someone and no longer see their posts, you will see what other people are saying to them (unless you have the other person on ignore too).
You are A. You are ignoring B. Now C is replying to B, but you don't see B and are wondering what in the world C is talking about
.(Sometimes fun to follow the confusion of A; B; and C, and sometimes D has to jump in and say "Um, A said they're ignoring B, soooo....)
Exactly, It is pretty Comical. I Understand what you are talking about because I have been in other chat rooms that have similar options is why I asked about how it works on this site before I started using it. And I have already learned that even though the comments are blocked. You can still see the reactions. It is ALL GOOD. I am glad that there are extra options in general. Thanks for making my Post on the subject less boring...I can see how one might feel that way.

It doesn't effect me as much as it is not needed. I am not interested in wasting my time reading responses that are obviously more about their need for attention than actually trying to help someone. It says more about them than it does about me. I am old enough to be able to read someones character regardless of whether they are aware of it themselves or not. Everyone else can see it except them. And I am trying to Heal. Not take on straight Judgement. For Example: People that feel like they Need to, "fix" other peoples posts like the OP didn't mean to post it as is. Again, Not interested in even giving them my time or attention. And I Hope this doesn't come across in any kind of negative way. I am being Honest...
I use to get a notification that someone I have on ignore left a reaction on one of my post but it has been fixed to where if someone I have on ignore leaves a reaction on my post now I won't get a notification so improvement has been made.
Sidenote:Some users on Christian Chat will look at the name of the poster and not even read the post and leave a negative reaction on the post whether the post is true or not true.
Well, you chose to ignore them. They didn't choose to ignore you.
How could someone follow a thread if they couldn't see all the replies from people they HAVEN'T ignored?
There's like 3 or 4 guys I ignore for various reasons. Could be their posts are always eternally looooong, they have consistently personally attacked me, etc....
That's a LOT of power to give people if they could take away your ability see ALL posts they want to.
Hmmm exactly no you just avoid seeing them or hearing from them just dont give them the chance to repent for what they did
