I've Never Done This Before : How Do You Put Someone on Ignore?

For me it's not the viewpoints, it's the personalities.
No way bro. Heading over at 6AM with the Queen of Rutgers Tailgating and her Court.
You can unfollow so you don't get alerts of new messages and then just don't click on it.
I fear you're gonna have to rely on good ol' fortitude to ignore just a thread.
Timely thread.. I had just wiped my ignore list to restart it. No one added again yet but the new "ignore season" is young.
Ahh I recall those days. I'd load up and park in Yellow (yes, with a proper pass once they had passes) next to that triangle across from the practice fields pretty early.. then walk home and come back at a more godly hour when the rest of my crew had arrived to set up inside that triangle. Then came the day when we were told that area was reserved for some official Rutgers function. Have no idea if that area is open for use now.
Variety of viewpoints is fine and I like to hear them. I put people on ignore when I get to a point I have no interest in hearing what they have to say (often I already know what they are going to post when I see their name), excessive negativity, people who are always back and forth who's johnson is bigger, etc. I get I can just stroll past but I tend to read them anyway if I don't put them on ignore. Makes it more enjoyable and I haven't found I missed any profound posts. For example I'm always reading the Mets thread. There are several yankee fans who continually post the same negative stuff several times each day. They are on ignore.

Weird, click on the thread but don’t see any posts
I would like to see that out of curiosity, LOL
This is just a test to see if I am on that list, and thus, you will not see this. I think I outsmarted myself...
I am tempted to ask who has me on ignore, but I guess if I did, they wouldn't see it anyway
Nope you're a reasonable person and I enjoy your posts. ; )
Maybe add an avatar to your account. ; )

My list sadly keeps growing
It’s a list of Seriously Deranged Losers. Lol
I’ll bet they still reply to my posts even though I ignore them. They seek my approval and attention.

In retrospect, I was seemingly seeking approval and attention when asking if I was ignored. What a brown-noser...
You’re a good dude dconifer
No one has you on their ignore list
I never did intentionally. Back in the day, I accidentally hit the button once or twice when on my iPad. There was no confirmation, so it just added people and I didn’t know I did it.
Eventually figured it out and un-ignored them. Nothing anybody ever says bothers me enough to ignore them. Not for lack of some people trying. 🤣
Conversely, some folks lkke to dish out aggressively stated opinions and then, when it’s reflected back at them, melt down like snowflakes in a pizza oven. Given my enjoyment of pushing such folk‘s buttons, I figure I’m on plenty of ignore lists.
No one on my ignore list and don't care if anyone has me on theirs. If the board gets to the point that I have to filter out content in order retreat to some type of "safe space" then I would probably just take a break or go somewhere else.
He's kidding, or course. There isn't a single aspect of life, material or existential, in which he's ahead of me.
Unless by "not be right behind" he means "very far behind". That tracks.
As always a great contribution to any thread. The next time you post something meaningful will be the first time.
That’s the thing. This place can be endlessly entertaining. And a lot of the entertainment comes from the most abrasive or numbskullish posters. They don’t intend to be so entertaining, but they are.
I come here for the laughs, mostly. Using ignore would cut out a lot of the inadvertent humor.
Can’t argue, though, with people wanting to cut down on some of the incessant negativity. It can become old quick. I don’t understand people’s need to rain on other people’s parades - this IS an RU sports forum and people kinda want to feel as good as possible about the teams. So why interfere with that?
I just read past most of those misery-sharing negative Nancy posts. But I do understand why people put the worst offenders on ignore.
all of us must "FOCUS" on who is banned so the mods post a list
remember "FOCUS" and you'll likely remember the name that probably is the leader of the most banned poster here and every other Rutgers board
