What is your GAF Ignore List policy?

Ok, I never ignore anyone because I think it's sort of petty, but since multiple people have mentioned this Agggguilera dude I'm curious as to what he did.

Spamming unfunny anime girl and asian girl gifs with constant attention seeking about himself in the funny pics thread. Incredibly obnoxious.
 
I wonder if admins/mods are able to see a list of the most ignored members
 
I recall some dude way back posting his list, and it was easily 100+ deep. I'm pretty sure I was on it too.

I haven't ignored anyone thus far, as much as I've wanted too. It's the equivalent of taking your ball and going home.

I remember that, he made a thread about it.
 
I ignore nobody.

"omg he said something i don't like", yes, welcome to a discussion forum. Even if I see posts I highly dislike putting them on ignore is just the forum way of saying "LALALALA I CAN'T YEAR YOU!!"
 
Ignore for life -> Combination of an attitude that I can not stand, and every post of him/her makes me want to punch my monitor

Ignore for ~12 months -> Says something incredibly stupid, and consistently repeats the same shit over and over again

Ignore for ~6 month -> Shitty poster, spoilers unmarked, often combined with an irritation avatar

There's no ignore that's less than 6 months.
 
I only ignore people for two reasons



1) They say that I do not know the topic for which I am arguing about(almost always I have done a ton of research on the topic and am gauging how well the other debaters are versed in the discussion) if and when this happens is normally when I will do two things, 1 I will not respond to the person as they do not actually wish to discuss the topic, or two if they are blatantly being dishonest with regards to the topic in addition to writing off my knowledge of the subject because it makes themselves feel better by insulting others. That's the first one.



2) Racist/Sexist/Bigotry



not in any order.

This implies that every voice in a crowd is worth listening to simply because they're a part of the crowd. I don't agree. I'm strongly against simply "censoring" opinions I don't agree with, especially those of the people who take their time to tell me why they disagree with me. But if the only thing that's standing between someone posting something racist or homophobic (or similar) is a moderation policy, then frankly, yeah, I can do without their voices.
 
I've never thought about ignoring anyone until Aguirre began with his gimmick, he is the first in my ignore list.
 
I've dropped a few people into my ignore list. Mainly because people start complaining about the posts exchanged. So I drop them out of my sight for a while to give everyone else a break.

Then they eventually get perma'ed and it doesn't really matter.

Otherwise I lose the ignore filter after a few weeks.
 
I have a couple of people on my ignore list, mostly because of their awful grammar and spelling. I'm not going to get anything from their posts anyway, I may as well not get pissed off at their poor English skills.

In that case, you might want to rethink the structure of that last sentence, Mr. Kettle.
 
Non-existent. I've never ignored anyone no matter how annoying, immature, inconsiderate, or numbskull people are. I read every post in most threads or skim threads if it's not that interesting.
 
I never ignore anyone, but I wonder if I'm on a shitton of people's ignore lists. I'm like the most invisible person on GAF.

But it's probably because my posts outside of FitGAF are boring as fuck.
 
I use the ignore list, but I still read those posts. It's more of a flagging system for me. I use it when someone continually posts things I not only disagree with, but -- crucially -- people who have been repeatedly shamed and clearly live in a weird reality distortion field and no longer want to engage in actual conversation. So, really, the ignore list is just a reminder for me. "Take this post with a gigantic grain of salt, because even if you can't remember the poster's name, they have, at one point or another, proven themselves to be a complete asshole."
This is almost exactly how I use it. Very well explained.

Actually, I once saw a firefox extension for a different forum that was exactly that...I can try and dig it up if you're serious.

Alas, I use Chrome.
 
Annoying posters.

Example.
Two people who whine about how terrible they look...followed by pages of people telling them their wrong. Then doing the same fucking shit in a day or two. rinse and repeat. Tells me when to avoid the thread.

Another guy who was always playing devil's advocate in threads.

this is way more fun if you name names shintoki.
 
I have one person on my ignore list. It was because of their avatar. It creeps me the fuck out and I just didn't want to stumble on it late one night and have nightmares. Luckily we almost never run across each other so it doesn't affect anything. I saw him in a thread a month ago and clicked his post to see if it was still bad and it was. So, he's still there. If he changes the avatar to something less creepy I'd easily take him off.
 
I don't have anyone on my Ignore list.

In fact, I don't have anyone on Ignore on any of my forums, social networks, etc. except for one and that is because it's a former "friend" who kept harassing me.

Other than that, I never use it anywhere.
 
Am I on anyones ignore list? Sometimes I'll post in a thread and it feels like I'm on everyone's ignore list but its probably worse and people are seeing what I wrote and ignoring it.
Haha, this is my problem too. I always felt I'm on half of GAFfers Ignore list but I guess I'm just boring (or irrelevant or both). Heh.
 
Didn't know it existed till now.

A lot of people disagree with my views here but i would never ignore them, hearing the other side of an issue or opinion is super important to me
 
Some people actually see ignoring instead of arguing or feeding trolls as the mature move. I don't really ignore, myself. Chat channels though, gotta use ignore on those. Some people are like psychopaths with finger Tourette's.

I know two people at least have put me on ignore.
