Do you Ignore anyone here at Apolyton?
Does anyone actually use this feature? I never have. I figured having ridiculous or inflamatory posters was half the fun of participating in a thriving online community. No need to name names.

I've been put on Ignore a couple of times; but then they decided they needed my sparkling wit to make it through the day.

I've never used it.

I think there's a big risk that users will make themselves look stupid:

POSTER #1: Does anyone know where I can get a replacement hood for a 1962 pink Chevy?

POSTER #2: Yes, I saw one on Ebay.

POSTER #1: ...Anyone?

POSTER #2: EBAY. You know what EBAY is, right?

POSTER #1: Hmph, I guess I'll just have to place an ad in my local paper.

POSTER #2: EBAY, you moron! I SAW one there! Here's the link!

POSTER #3: ...Yeah, what HAVE you got against Ebay?

POSTER #1: Nothing. Why?

POSTER #3: Well, why do you keep refusing to use it?

POSTER #1: ...Where?

POSTER #3: On this thread, you moron!

POSTER #1: Don't call me a moron. You are now on my ignore list.

POSTER #2: HAHAHAHA!!!

I've tried to use it, but my sense of curousity would always get the better of me. Of course the posts are just as stupid and inane as I knew they would be.

I don't use the feature to ignore anyone, I just ignore them on my own accord. Except for Sloww of course, no matter how many awards he gets

I can't be arsed with it. Especially since you can't but mods or admins on ignore.

If there was only one reason to ignore someone it would be because they have the worse fans:

Never understood the point of ignoring someone. If you can't control your reaction to someone else's words I don't know why you'd be posting here at all.

It would be real coo to know who was ignoring you, cuz then you could say all kinds of snarky **** about them behind their backs.

I can't believe you could run a Texas Sucks search and not have a group of little Rangers jump out and hang you.

Have to check into that, I guess.

Has anybody made the obligatory "did someone say something?" joke yet? If not, consider it done.
