Cool new VB feature I discovered that can reduce conflict!

You can't ignore someone if they have any moderator powers anywhere (even clan forums), therefore it is useless for at least half of the miscreants who cause the problems.

It still leaves a massive "you can't see this because XYZ is on your ignore list" block in the thread.

There is nothing to prevent other people from quoting the ignored individual, or responding to him, or taking the thread in a new direction based on the ignored individual's posts.

Therefore, the ignore feature is useless and is effective sticking your e-fingers in your e-ears and shouting e-LALALA's to the e-heavens, even though you still have to read all of the stupid shit.

Fortunately, as a moderator, I have the ultimate "shut up, this conversation is over" button.

Are you sure you want to add Toker to your ignore list?

We can't help you ignore yourself.

The VB made me feel like a loser.

You can't be friends with yourself.

Awww....

LOL.

I can't ignore myself, but for different reasons.

Too bad most of us, myself included, are not responsible enough to handle an infractions/karma system. Then we could just vote asshats off the island.

Mods really shouldn't ignore anybody. The reason being is that if you ignore someone who then posts something they shouldn't have, you'll never know and will not be able to do your job as a mod.
