As an update, I have found TUSCL more enjoyable with my first two "ignore" uses. Three more have just joined and I expect my enjoyment to improve even more!
Likely, I will see few replies to this since those affected, well, I'll never see! :)
I find myself much more irritated when people flame others, just to be an ass than when I get attacked myself. Usually because I know what I did to deserve it!
Agreed. I resisted since the "ignore" became a feature. But now, it is wonderful. What is kind of funny is all the ignored posts are acknowledged, so I can still see that the jerks are active. That also is enjoyable.
If one puts someone on "ignore", I wonder if they can still PM you? Any that think they are on my "ignore" care to try?
I don't have anyone on ignore because I don't want to miss anything. The flame wars are never entertaining/interesting to me. Why would I get entertainment out reading posts of grown men bickering back and forth with each other?
As long as there are good topics here and reasonable discussions I think most of us will hang around. But I agree that less visits here can make it more tolerable. And that's a pretty sad fucking statement to have to make.
For me, ignore reduces the drivel. The signal to noise ratio has improved greatly. Sometimes I'll go see what an ignored user has posted lately in order to determine whether or not to unignore.
Too bad founder can't fix it so that anyone that you have on ignore is completely invisible-If I have someone on ignore I don't want to see their name pop up at all.
Well sick liver, that would be kind of hard to do because if someone quotes them or otherwise addresses poor you is going to see their name. Just man up and learn to cope.
Like gmd said, for many of us it helps completely block out that annoying background screeching, like a good pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones.
sclvr5005- don't worry....after awhile you don't even see the ignored names anymore. They just disappear. It's like they were never there to begin with.
oh cool. you ignored some guys then posted to tell everyone that you ignored some guy. then baited them in by telling them to try to message you. youre just as bad. now i will ignore you. faggot.
I actually take pride in the fact that I don't ignore anyone. I like to see what everyone is saying, good or bad.
I do find it kinda funny that I've never had anything but POSITIVE interactions with clubber & pablo and they've just put me on ignore. I even gave Clubber a shout out a little while back in this thread I did for Shadow: https://www.tuscl.net/postread.php?PID=1…
Any "flame war" involving me is in good fun & they're never unprovoked. But, whatev's.
And I get huge LOL's every time someone mentions "the quality" of the forum. LOL Really?
I do agree with the point about less visits too. For the most part I stopped posting in late October through early December, and now I'm starting to have fun again.
Don't see how the ignore button helps your experience per say. Unless the person antagonizes you EVERYTIME you post something in a thread, how does that stop the arguments that people dislike so much when your non-ignored buddy is on the other side arguing with the ignored person? You still see a piece of the flames
I appears I was called a "faggot" and now ignored by some newbie with ZERO reviews. My God, I am so hurt! The ignore line forms behind...

NO CHANGE!"
These were the last words clubber said to me before he sent me to the ignorium. I just...I just can't... TUSCL is gonna be dark for me now. A dark dark place. I'm cold. I'll miss your one liners, and smiley faces.
And Pablo, how will I post knowing you'll never respond to me again? Your post were so just above average. Some very almost memorable stuff. The thrill of this site is now gone.
just recently I started to use the 'ignore' feature and about 5 or 6 people joined it rapidly because the flames that were between them were/are so bad it decreased my enjoyment so much I had to do something. Once in a while I too would check their other posts to see if they were coherent & related and because of that a couple have come back off the list.
Always entertaining to hear the stupid comments as well as the good comments. I love the fact that so many folks just walk right into the trap being set for them...I hope they do real life better than that.
@Estafador: "Don't see how the ignore button helps your experience per say[sic]."
For my part, aside from the spammers, it's just a case of filtering out the useless, repetitive, pointless drivel. When I log in and I see a quarter of the comments are incoherent ramblings, idiotic one-up-manship and stupid histrionics, it just saves me time when reading the list when most of that is ignored.
Admittedly, once in a while an ignored person will post something reasonable and intelligent, at least in a couple of cases, and I'll miss it, but it's just not worth wading through the mud to get to that one truffle most of the time. Ignoring allows me to see most of what goes on, at the expense of an occasional missed gem.
Like I said, every once in a while, I will either go check recent discussions and comments or un-ignore someone to see if things have changed.
^^^Agreed. If someone is annoying enough to put on ignore it's worth risking missing an occasional coherent post from them. The ability to block them out far outweighs the doubtful chance that they might post something useful.

Seems to work it to me.
