In 7 years on DU, culminating in DU2,
I put TWO posters on ignore. In less than 3 weeks on DU3, I've already put someone on ignore, and have itched to put a few more. Unmoderated = free range assholes running rampant. People weren't so boldly jerky before the jury system, now it's a complete civility-free zone. *sigh*

I'm glad you're all still here. :grouphug:

1. You're a better man than I am.
During the primaries, despite staying out of GDPugilists for the most part, I had over a hundred posters on ignore. It was my own private DU. :(

14. Wow!
I wonder how many were tombstoned by the time you took them off your list, post-primaries. :)

2. I never have ignored anyone, yet...
tho that may have contributed to my flight outta here, after the "kerap meter" pegged on maximum, several year back. I don't even know where the ignore function is, ha.

Going over to the new place now only makes me sad, to see what it's become.

It has been nice these last few weeks at our old DU.

:hi:

13. Still the best place for LBN, imo.
So I'll still go there for the OPs and limit my time in GD as much as I can.

4. Same here.
I had one person on ignore. When I was over at the 3, my "Blacklist" was 15 long with a WAITING LIST. It's such a mess. IMCPO, the jury system needs to go. It's never going to work.

5. It is depressing how much outright insults and smears are being allowed.
It's Yahoo Underground.

12. Yep, it's just become another internet wasteland.
I can't imagine Admin is getting any less flack from the jury system than they got over mod decisions. Which I thought was the whole point of changing over.

6. I had to put a couple on Ignore over here
in the last week or so because they came over from DU3 to harrass and make fun of us that are still here. :-(

7. "If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is."
In ten-going-on-eleven years here, I might have had four people on Ignore, for maybe a total of two weeks. My shiny new Ignore List is DU3.

:evilgrin:

8. It's not as big a problem for me because I've never used Ignore
I just physically ignore posts I don't like but not really, I enjoy controversy anyhow.

9. well, i advise people to use ignore as much as possible
since admin sees who is being ignored. that doesn't mean they will get banned, necessarily. sometimes it is understandable why someone has a high ignore. but it is a stat that is kept. use it.

10. I had a huge Ignore list....
now that everyone is over at DU3, I don't have to ignore anyone. It's nice here.

I think that's why I wasn't banned, I used Ignore so much...showing that I didn't want to argue.

I wish I had an Ignore button IRL.

Now my post won't go thru.

11. I didn't realize that!
I served as a mod several times and had never heard that. If I'd known it, I may have put a few more people on ignore over the years. Definitely makes me more likely to hit the button now at DU3. Thanks. :hi:

18. So many of us are curious how many / if anyone have us on ignore.
There is no way to find out the number is there? Not necessarily which DUers, but how many, have us on ignore?

20. I was reading the help & meta section over there
and someone said that in DU3 you can see how many people have you on ignore. You don't know who they are (unless they made a public announcement) but you can find out how many.

28. Agreed.
But sadly the ignore function over there has a HUGE impact on what you can read. Here is simply shoed the post as "ignored" There it takes out whole subthreads if one of the participants is on your ignore list. Not good IMHO.

15. I agree.
I'm glad DU2 is still here. I don't even go to DU3. It's awful there.

22. You mean "until"...you went to DU-3...I think?
I don't know how anyone much could survive over there without a long "ignore" list....

Just saying from what's I've seen in my daily check up. I don't log in and get out of there as fast as I can. I wouldn't survive there. Even with a long ignore list.

I only had around 5 on my ignore list, here...and been here since 2001.

24. LOL, Koko, I found this thread when I googled DU2 because of your other thread.
I did not see your reply way back then.

No, I said what I meant. I have yet to log in at DU3 and, as of yet, have no intention of doing that.

If a post at DU2 links me to DU3, I will follow it, but I don't browse around DU2.

For me, personally, ignore is not an option. And, so far, anyway, neither is DU3.

30. I looked down the Views column and this thread kind of stood out, LOL.
I have everyone on DU2 on ignore now.


j/k, of course.

I still have never put anyone on ignore. In the old days, I was not as happy to see some names as I was to see others. Still, no "ignore" though.

31. "free range assholes" is an excellent term.
Mind if I use it?
