This option despite being one way to do so, facilitates others who would go around other posters attempts to ignore them.
This should obviously be a problem logically.
The issue here is that with the account wide ignore, person b wouldn’t be switching characters. They’d just put person a on ignore and it would be done.
Well, one thing for sure…NO ONE will be able to take anyone from one group seriously ever again when they say others are coming into their threads to get them shut down.
This thread isnt even worth the time investment at this rate. Definitely going to be 404ed thanks to the last 100 posts or so.
An ignore in either direction removes that option within the forums.
Person B who would be doing the ignoring to get away from harassment wouldn’t be trying to harass person A and person A using the feature to find Person Bs alts would already be ignored by person B.
That doesn’t give you the right to rally pitch forks around posters you don’t like.
Which is why these posts are always going to end up as bonfires and any argument for forum changes will be shot down since its primarily driven by hate or an unreasoning sensation for revenge.
