Yesterday evening I was trying to answer a question from Bumbamuffin about the ignore feature, when we lost the internet connection at work. Bm thought that the only reason that people use the ignore feature was to ignore people who have views that conflicted with their own, which isn't always true.
Take this comment.
With the current board and owners that be running the club we are already cursed
This comment appeared on a light hearted thread about next seasons fixture list being published shortly, was completely out of context and was preceded by someone asking another poster not to curse us with their guess for the opening fixtures of next season.
If you were to put this poster and a handful of others on your ignore list, you don't have to see their snide comments and half baked allegations that are completely irrelevant to the thread on which they are posted. You can then clearly see posts by other users who actually want to comment on the thread topic.
You may say, "That's only one line, you don't have to read it". However, one of the other posters that does this insists on doing a screenful of similar bilge and that is why posters use the ignore feature for that poster.
No one is trying to stifle debate, no one is trying to supress statements that they don't agree with. Posters just get fed up with screens full of groundless allegations that the poster has no evdidence to back up and that have been disproved by legal documents a long time ago.
End of rant.
