Trolling is what you are doing. Don’t like it, then don’t troll.

Then put me on ignore Ayukama…and (to Blizzard) …I dont want to see her posts either? Seems like a fair trade to me.

I think it is more of a step down than a step up. What we’re asking for is more control on what we see. Not to control on what others see. What they are asking for is to control what everyone sees, which then actually defies the idea of what the forums are actually for.
And not only that, but with what they are requesting, can cause more problems within the forums, one of them being as I just mentioned, placing everyone on ignore than violating the CoC, and nobody having the ability to flag them.

Hmm, neutral ground seems fair to everyone.

I do now,lol. The power of the mighty button god.
So why should you get to control what other people see?
No one has to answer to you ,with that they don’t need to see your reply either.

Got it, no answer, just here to be a nuisance as well
that seems pretty fair to me, honestly… why would someone be against your suggestion if they want stronger ignore systems?
well there are many other people here posting, not just you that sabledraco would like to converse with.
I mean, I’ve been noticing a trend in people in this threads who cannot hold a conversation with others because they will change the topic to something completely irrelevant to what they are responding to. At the best that’s extremely rude to not listen and respond to what is said. At the worst, it’s people actively trying to wind people up with deliberate rudeness.

I don’t know. Mal seems to think this means I want to control something when I’m not the one excercising control–it would be Blizzard. If you’re going to come onto a forum and support a behavior that essentially will create an echo chamber (for yourself)–then I’m proposing we go all the way–remove the ability for the ignored person to see your posts too. I would think that would go even further if the end-goal is to either end bickering or “harrassment.”
I used the dating app/website example as a suggestion I’ve seen before. I saw a suggestion where a person said “if i am not atracted to X,Y, Z --can I also NOT show up for them in their search results?” — it got a lot of traction but neither app/site implemented it and there was no word on why…the sites/apps just said they wouldn’t do it due to “unforeseen consequences” and left it that vague. We had to kinda fill in the blanks with hypotheses.
i agree with your suggestion, i think it would actually be very good.

People should just ignore those who want to troll, and not take the bait. You’re not going to get an answer from them, they want to control on what others want to see, which they have no right in doing so!

Honestly,people are humanwe are not robotic in any sense of the word, it’s Sunday and people do do that from time to time. but largely it is on the subject op wish to address account wide ignores .So here we are down the list of a multiple post thread hammering aways at a debate? or discussion heaven knows. 
The intent is to create a more realistic consequence for letting people essentially cherry-pick what they see on a forum. If you put me on ignore, then I shouldn’t see your posts or your replies since I’d essentially be cut out of the conversation (and would know it too).
this is perfectly acceptable…
you ignore someone, they cannot see your posts either.
when i was reading through the thread the other day, i came across this post and i did think that it would be a great idea.
that poster also mentioned
to stop this “peek-a-boo” blocking, we can follow my suggestion that i posted earlier

Why should there be any consequence to the user for ignoring someone?
All you’re trying to do is inflict a punishment upon a perfectly valid function.

why is it a punishment? I’m not trying to inflict punishment, I’m asking for a more well-rounded ignore. If you can ignore someone on a forum, then the ignored person shouldn’t be made aware of it. I think they would be if they still see your posts and reply and get radio silence (which is what I think some of you people want). Why should the ignored person still see snippets of conversation they now can’t participate in…?
If they see nothing from you in the future, they have no clue they were ignored …you don’t see their stuff either, everyone wins.
Ignoring doesn’t need to be ‘well-rounded’. The person getting ignored should feel ignored, because it’s a consequence of being a jackass. They should self-reflect and think on ‘am I the bad person’ and maybe, just maybe, improve their own attitude to allow themselves to potentially get un-ignored in the future. They should get to see the conversation they’re no longer allowed to be a part of so that they know what the cost of being a garbage poster is.
Again, you’re just trying to limit the perfectly valid use and purpose of ignore.
