Problem:
It's pointless.
There is only one valid reason to ignore or filter content - to bypass advertisements / bots. Since this website does a great job filtering out the bots - and the advertisements are basically everywhere - can we just drop the whole thing?
I have seen like 2 people "spam" in the last year 1/2 since I have been here - both were nuked within hours.
TheHug Box Echo Chamber of Fanboys ignore list is being abused by fragile little butterflies who can't stand to have their Ar-pee-gee's criticized.
Solutions: (Pick One)
This post shouldn't offend anyone because the people I am talking about won't ever see it.
Right?
Update:
Almost Half my Ignored list has now posted in this thread.

The
- A third of my list have 0 - 100 posts in the last 2 years. (Bullshit alts)
- Another third is just fanboys of Risen 1 and PoE who are butt blasted that I didn't personally like those games as much as them.
- Finally, half the people on my ignore list have brofisted something I posted after the fact. Or removed me entirely when they realized "Oh he's not so bad when he rips on things I don't like".
- AKA They put me on ignore to make a *~*~Statement~*~* but still read my posts anyways.
- Or they put me on ignore because they were salty about a game I pointed out had some flaws and forgot why months later.
Solutions: (Pick One)
- Rename it to "People That Made Me Mad / Insulted My Games" and disable the post hiding since nobody is even using that feature.
- Drop the entire thing altogether.
- Remove the ability show posts of people you have on ignore.
- Let inflated egos and curiosity take care of the feature organically
- Tie ignore lists to IP address so <insert you know who> can't sit in shout box on a private browser watching shout box for his name to be mentioned when he has half the forum on ignore.
- Add a counter to the Ignored persons name for how many times you viewed their post anyways.
