It's deliciously ironic and counterproductive how the DU leveling system works
After a certain point of heavy activity all the ignored people have the lights over them turned back on, and the flamefests erupt all over again, further increasing the load on DU servers.

1. That is a prime example of disrespect that I won't tolerate. Ignored.
Oh, wait.

5. LOL, what about those that say they have you on ignore
but don't ignore you, they react to your posts by posting to someone else calling you names and attacking you.

Those folks crack me up, weak willed and liars combined. :rofl:

10. I don't understand why this feature gets disabled.

as you note, it works against the goal of decreasing useless arguments.

as far as ignore itself, it is very useful. If someone puts someone else on ignore, it isn't necessarily because of any personal reason. it may be related to the sort of posts. however, if someone replies to something you've said, you can then read a reply via print format since you may have many people on ignore for various reasons and may want to read a comment because you have no idea who wrote it. You may choose to reply to it. However, in order to reply directly you have to go through the entire process of taking someone off ignore.

I have ppl on ignore that were there before the primary and will be there after the primary.

I have ppl who were on ignore last week that aren't on ignore this week. I see every post here, for instance.

11. I use it mostly for ignoring new threads by people
some of them actually contribute inside threads, but the stuff they post themselves is really bad unfiltered brain-dump shit.

13. Just because I have you on ignore doesn't mean that...
I can't see what you say when you talk about me.

21. I'll admit it.
I got into a flamefest last night with someone I usually have on ignore.

I use the "ignore" function because I am weak... :cry:
