What about a new DU feature showing how many people Ignore you?

[burythehatchet]

Sort of like "I recommend this poster", only the opposite.

:shrug:

[DS1]

1. It can only lead to trouble

as in..

I know person X is ignoring me, so I'm going to slam the ever living shit out of them, and chances are they won't even know it and won't defend themselves.

Bad idea.

[dweller]

2. if 114,202 people ignored me

i'd still post my pov.

lone voice,wilderness, etc.

[gratuitous]

3. Have a heart

I'm very emotionally fragile and immature; the number would be staggering.

[Swamp Rat]

7. LOL!

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

21. See? There'd be Swamp Rat on one side

And the rest of DU on the other!

[Warpy]

4. My ignore list is a short one because

most of the people I ignore get tombstoned in short order.

My ego couldn't take knowing how many people ignore my twaddle. I'm sure it's a much longer list than mine.

[tyedyeto]

5. Discussed a number of months ago

and the admins decided that was not a feature DU felt was necessary for the 'community'.

[burythehatchet]

8. dagnabbitt

it was a half-hearted recommendation anyway

[Sarah Ibarruri]

6. That'd be fun :-) nt

[cbayer]

9. I am more in favor of a "do not recommend" button

[donheld]

10. What the hell for?

:shrug:

[burythehatchet]

17. So we can have contests and win cash prizes

[lonestarnot]

11. Sorry, but

ignore is a problem in itself. Ignoring problems does not make them go away. There was alot of ignoring going on the last 8 years, some out of preservation of sanity, some out of "problem to big for me, why bother." Nope, no ignore here.

[AlCzervik]

12. "how many" and leave it that or "How many and who are they, names i want names!"

remember the experiment in "Super ignore", that didn't go too well.

[burythehatchet]

15. ooo I must have been vacationing ..mmmm... double secret super Ignore...

[AlCzervik]

19. it sure was interesting.

[conscious evolution]

23. And the aftershocks

when it was lifted still reverbrate here on DU.

[LostinVA]

26. My favorite was the poster who put all the posters with gay avatars on ignore

Then bragged about it on "that other site."

They're still a member.

[AlCzervik]

29. bragging about that like it's something to be proud of, i'm not sure if there is anything

as pathetic as that.

[LostinVA]

31. They joined the day "nuclear block" went into effect to make it better

:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

32. what a $^%%@&@&@!

[Larry Ogg]

13. As if I didn’t already know everyone ignores me, by simply ignoring me.

Now I will be able to prove it, but every time I ask someone how to use this feature they fucking ignore me…

[dweller]

22. the ignore feature?

it's the little red-x'd guy in the response you read here at the right of the username that posted.

try clicking mine ... go ahead, i'll not take it personally. :)

[Larry Ogg]

34. But would you know I had you on ignore, or vise versa? n/t

[dweller]

40. that's a negative

so that means no, you/i don't know.


whoopti diyo, life goes on.

[TahitiNut]

14. Why do I suspect that some would immediately construct an Ignore list of equal length?

:rofl: This place slays me. :rofl:

[Pastiche423]

16. It's already been done

But iirc, it only lasted a day. Someone posted a thread and everyone could see who the poster had on ignore.

Does anyone else remember that?

[burythehatchet]

18. I miss ALL the good stuff

[Pastiche423]

28. It din't last long

so you din't miss much. ;)

[AlCzervik]

20. yup, some of those ignore lists were HUGH!

[Pastiche423]

27. So you remember that day?

The Duer had a high number of posts. When he/she realized readers could see their ignore list, it was corrected tout d'suite.

At that point I had no one on ignore and was afraid to put anyone on ignore for a while after that incident. lol

Psst... I'm no longer afraid.

[cobalt1999]

24. No, only because I'd be disappointed if my count was zero.

At least if someone had me on ignore, I'd know someone had read one of my posts!

[Rosemary2205]

25. Hey, I found out last week that I consistently piss 2 people off.

I gotta tell ya - I've never been prouder! :) :)

[burythehatchet]

33. Braves huh?

:mad:




















:rofl:

[Raejeanowl]

37. The Downside

They'll never know it made you happy.

[Boojatta]

35. You would know that one of your posts not only was read, but had an impact!

[rug]

30. I can just walk outside for that.

[Raejeanowl]

36. This Has Been Asked and Answered Before

Knowing how unpopular you, or your favorites and unfavorites are, is a weapon for more dissension and insults.

I'd hate to see an abusable, one-click popularity/congeniality contest. Of course, if you really think someone is intolerable enough to ignore, the price you pay is not knowing what they say when they keep turning up after your posts.

[EFerrari]

38. Negative re-enforcement doesn't work all that well.

It just makes people more negative.

The flip might have an impact though. (I like / appreciate / find this poster helpful or something.)

(We'd need a special category for sniffa. :) )

[DCKit]

39. A "Most Ignored Hall of Fame" would be fun

As would "Fewest Posts to Tombstone", "Freepers We Have Known" and "Most Entertaining People (who don't take their meds)".

Seriously, the only person I've even considered ignoring since joining last March was tombstoned around post #43, many of which were directed at me, yet I never alerted. Thanks to whomever, but I was kind of having fun with the bad logic and the meandering arguments. I never learned to argue properly and it was a learning experience.
