    With all the bandwidth wasting that goes on here, even if "ignore announcements" are indeed superfluous, they're hardly the most egregious offenses.

    You can still read their thread titles and also the quotes in replies to them.

    Unable to just scroll by? Certain posters clutter up pages after pages with nonsense, making it difficult to read through.

    And yet you keep replying to them.

    The discussion is....why announce it? Just put them on on ignore and actually ignore them....

    I know. Probably to mock them and making fun of them. Letting them know they're wasting their time. And laugh louder when you realize that they are too retarded to realize that.

    Well the purpose of the ignore list is so that you cannot read their posts.

    Bingo. And alsotoo, it lets everyone know when they develop an unhealthy obsession with another member. We've all seen some of them follow others around putting groans on their posts, and trying to get their attention by replying to them even though they were told repeatedly that they're on the Great Wall of Ignore. Like Tom *cough cough* does, and Lesion.

    The dumbtwat you're replying to knows that. She's just whoring for attention again. If you're bored watch her when I inform someone who's pestering me that they're on my ignore list. She will then deliberately quote them so that their spew is visible. She knows I don't fib about it, and neither does anyone else.

    Yeah, I can read TOP's thread to you. Too bad JPP can't fix that but at least I have some control.
    But even though the right wing nut jobs know I've put them on ignore, they still reply to my posts.
    Especially Lesion. They must be starved for acceptance and validation.

    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    But they're still not really ignoring Them.....Or they would just Ignore them...
    (The reminders are not just when they reply to the one who continues to remind them....but whenever the person posts...kind of senseless, right?)

    Not really. I have always suggested that the thread titles and their usernames be hidden. Perhaps add a feature where it lets people know the posters they want to reply to have them on ignore list.
