If you put someone on Ignore will they be able to read your posts?
I have never done this before but I am thinking about doing it. If you put them on Ignore can you make sure they don't ever read another one of your posts either?

1. I think people can still read your posts
You just cannot see theirs.

2. That's not how ignore works.
What you're thinking of is the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal feature. Here, have a towel :D

4. Why the concern?
Not seeing their messages can be refreshing (though I've retracted a few of my 'ignored' people and didn't regret it), but preventing them from seeing your posts at all?

It's like going to a store and they've removed all of the right-wing customers just for your benefit. (it's appealing in a way, but creates a tinted perception of the world.)

12. Heh heh
There's only one person I'm going to put on Ignore, and that person's not here. So -- here goes! I'm assuming that when I get to that person's post, it will just say "IGNORE", but the post will still be there. Right?

I don't mind a fight, but at some point you get tired of fighting. Especially if the other person never seems to get tired of it.

19. I had to use ignore once
Got tired of fighting with them, just like you.

After I put it on ignore, I went back to the thread, and 3/4 of the thread said "IGNORE". It was actually kind of funny looking at it on a long thread.

18. So are the mods.
Do not start a new discussion thread with the purpose of "calling out" another member or picking a fight with another member.
