Ignore

I know this might not get addressed ever, but I really think that the ignore system on this site is slightly backwards.

When I put someone one ignore it’s because I don’t even want them to know I exist. I don’t want them to be able to lurk on my comments, I don’t want them to see who I am friends with, I don’t want them to read my public blogs.

My comments are friends only. My groups are friends only. Half of my blogs are friends only.

I wish that the people that I put on ignore had the inability to even look at my blog. I wish that clicking on my username would lead them back to the homepage. I wish there was a way, that when I put someone on ignore they not only lost the ability to post comments or send me messages, but that my comments on the site were blocked like theirs are to me.

It’s a tall order. But maybe this is something that could be put on the back burner and thought about for something that could be changed in the future.

/end rant.

Thanks.

So, kinda like the "block" feature on Twitter? I'm all for that.

yes. to all of it.

Definitely +1

yes...yes...just because they can't comment doesn't mean they're not reading.

And that is what makes it backwards.

I would love for this to happen.

I'd love this to happen too.

True

That can of course only work for things that are restricted to site members in the first place.

Sounds like a good idea

You're doing it wrong.

I wouldn't mind if there were separate "ignore" and "block" functions. Sometimes I have people on ignore because I absolutely don't care what they have to say, so I can't be arsed to read it. I couldn't care less if they read my stuff.
But sometimes I have people on ignore because they are dicks to me. I honestly don't think they are going to send me a friend request, but I would prefer it they couldn't read anything at all that I wrote, because that just gives them fuel for whatever fire of hatred they already possess.

Please name names. This sounds way more interesting than this thread.

I sense a lock if this gets derailed.
