lasermonkey Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 ..was the message that appeared after, you guessed it, attempting to add someone to the ignore list. I'm not sure why this would happen, as I don't think they're a member of staff, so to speak. I'm just a little curious as to why this would happen. I mean, it's not particularly important or anything, it's just that the "but why?!!" voice in my head won't shut up! Cheers, Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I've not heard of this feature before. When you ignore a member, does it not show their posts or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixII Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Ahh, but if you block someone, I would take it you didn't want to enter into a conversation in the first place......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 It could be someone that had been a mod of a GB at some point. Perhaps you could PM me their name, and I'll look into it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'm curious as to what is being said on the forum that chaps want to block. I've never seen badmouthing here. Could someone enlighten me, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, it's more a case that I find certain personality types rather grating, so I stick them on ignore. It just tunes a little bit more of life's "white noise". No scandal or drama here! 🙂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was by ignoring myself that I ended up with an inch-long piece of wood poking out of the sole of my foot last week, which resulted in blood going all over the house when I extracted it! It's still a bit sore now. I can think of several other occasions where my inner voice has said "are you sure you want to do this?", I've done it anyway and it's all gone Tango-Uniform. At least the voices in my head are benign! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The reason you are not allowed to ignore me @lasermonkey is because everything I have to say is so damned relevant, intelligent and important...
