The royal we.
“It’s up to you how many ignores you get”. I guess so? I mean if I never talk about
how I have a different belief on certain political and religious topics, I won’t get ignored. But is that what we want? People to feel silenced?

How are you replying to my post? I must've screwed it up already

Looks like it...you replied.

More importantly, can we block Mods? 😎

How sad that this feature is (assumed) needed...

So basically half a safe space? I'm fine with not allowing people to reply

Just keep it FO in that case, if you just can't help but reply to that comment
KingDave

It's not an issue of "I can't help reply". It's an issue of 'hey, ______ made
unctoothman

I think this feature is in place because certain people have a long history of unproductive communication

Bingo. unctoothman, you are suggesting that there is a lot more good faith in

If you have them ignored, how would you even know? Why do you care anyway?

What if you have a comment for the board related to the OP?

I want to know who is actually going to be keeping track of ignores well enough

The ignorer not seeing posts should be enough. Beyond weird that they worry about something being

Usually, it will be fairly obvious that someone's attempting to skirt the block.

For blatantly obvious or unkind responses, that seems fair. What I suspect

Despite Bernard dragging us down in IQ, collectively I think we can figure out when it's legit.

I believe some would classify that comment as internet bullying.

His opinion doesn't count.

Then keep it in FO. You can still continue a productive conversation with your FO.

It really isn't about what you say. It's about how you say it.

How do you come up with the conclusion that very, very few people

There really is a lot more attitude beyond just disagreement

You have a point. Some do as you say. I take dilbert as meaning that he himself

I’m in the group that doesn’t see the need to ignore anyone. I honestly don’t understand the purpose.

Oh I agree. I think it’s a fair compromise. I just think it’s too bad it’s necessary.

I actually do think that is what they want
JOPE
11/18/17 4:05pm
Somehow, ignoring someone only causes some to worry about what that person is
The Dude Abides
11/18/17 11:08am
We're not saying you can't participate in the discussion. That would be stupid.

Just have to respond to another responder in the thread I imagine. It makes sense.

Will it give you a notification or some other indication when someone adds you
benny1982
11/18/17 11:42am
It will notify you when you view their messages.
El Jefe

Imo this will be a terrible feature. Part of what makes the board

Best thing about this new feature? See who’s ignoring

If you have someone ignored you can go to “Manage Ignores” and

It's the same feature teams have been using with our offense this year.

You won't be able to see their posts if you've ignored them

I agree. I wish nobody thought it was necessary.

Yes! I'm going to block all the mods.
Byron McNertney

The ban hammer isn't included in the blocking, sorry...
El Jefe
11/18/17 5:45pm
Why require Poster A to ignore Poster B in order to block Poster B?

I don't want it to be free.
