So, who here has stopped reading a webforum because you couldn't ignore certain posters?

I love the ignore feature here. It makes reading this site a lot more interesting, since the repeat offenders can be blocked.

I stay out of GD:P, but some people in the other forums here can be very mean. They get ignored. I only have a few people on ignore, but they were rude for no reason to people who didn't deserve it.

So, I'm spoiled. Now when I go onto other sites, and read something that just is out of line, I reach for the ignore button, and there isn't one.

I was reading a post about a new technology, it sounded very interesting. Somebody replied with a remark about Fox News and the Democrat primary. I reached for ignore since they were obviously not saying Democratic on purpose. You could tell from the rest of the context of their post. But there was no ignore, so I just left the site.

So I was just wondering if I'm the only one who has stopped reading some sites due to the lack of an ignore button.

1. Yes. If the site is full of complete jerks,
with no redeeming quality, I won't go back.
