Ignoring Commenters

Sick of reading comments from a particular user? Well, now you have the option to permanently ignore someone. Next to each comment's username, there is a little ignore icon.

Next time you come across a comment from a user you are ignoring, there will be a placeholder message, with the option to still view it if you wish.

Comments will also not appear in Site Scout.

You can manage your list of ignored users here Special:CommentIgnoreList.

AWESOME. This site has gone through so many changes since the mass trolling fiasco. Can we also get some sort of ranking for most ignored users that will be publicly available?

PS - Will Manny and Tyrone really press the IGNORE button? (If so, I bet that they'll use that placeholder option)

PPS - Can people please post a comment under this one if I've been ignored so I can ignore them from now on? Wiked cool.

just don't count it towards standings or that'll give some people incentive to climb the rankings =)

This gives Beast an opportunity to stop wasting time reading other people's comments and expressions and to start writing that love letter to Allison Stokke.

And to answer Mr. Smythe's question, no I won't use it.

Word. Please let me know a good time and venue to go over a marketing/consulting agreement. My fees are reasonable.  :)

Ha! No it's usually on a project by project basis, but given Manny Stiles and Tyrone Briggs, I really think there's salary potential here.

Yeah, it is important to cater to individuals that just like to read their own comments.

I don't think it's working perfectly yet. I tried it out and sometimes it still shows the comment under the placeholder.

Just what Beast really needs. Another mechanism to enable him to live a sheltered existence. Never has the metaphor "hiding in the closet" resonated louder at ArmchairGM.

Why not create a list of people who: 1. Use the IGNORE feature, 2: Give out the most negative feedback?

It is an idea worth re-exploring. Question - why is the IGNORE feature permanent?

Look at it this way, the more people who ignore you, the less -'s you'll get, TB
