1 I'll carry on using the ignore feature as I see fit. I highly recommend it to ignore people who never add anything positive to the discussion. I have just added one participant in this thread to the list today.
2 It would be preferable if people refrain from quoting those on IGNORE lists purely so we don't miss their posts. We INTEND to miss their posts, so please only quote them if there is a specific reply you are making to their content.
Of course there is no obligation to do that, but anyone mainly quoting ignored members can easily be added to my ignore list.
3 If I or other members occasionally & accidentally duplicate something by an ignored member and that is unacceptable for certain people, they are free to put me or the other members on their ignore lists.
Complaining is unlikely to be effective, particularly when we don't even see the complaints.
