18. Since this is the Lounge, I have to bring this up... |

Now when we see
"I'm tired of this. You're on Ignore."
we'll have to ask,
"Now do you mean the regular Ignore, or the new Deluxe™ Ignore?

21. I think it can be used for for pro-active abuse "on the offense" |
|
Not just for "defense." You could post something truly incendiary, designed to get a rise out of a certain person, and then block them from responding. And then you get the last word.
I don't like it. If rude people get banned, that's just the way it should be. Why protect them from themselves?

I've seen people put others on ignore, and then the ignored person continues the argument or gets in an attack. This should help general civility AND improve how the board looks.

And I'm no coward. Blocking harassment is different from being afraid. I am loving enough toward myself to not allow myself to be abused. If you think that's cowardly, well, I don't know what to say. :shrug:

if people are responsible with this, they'll be spending less time fighting through the pm network and posting on the board...if not, you're going to see DU gridlocked from members not being able to post anywhere
