Ok, this may be a controversial one, but I do believe the forum would greatly benefit from a two-way ignore feature. I remember the multiple wars of words I had with a certain unpopular member in PW, which always unleashed the worst in me and resulted in near bans because I would hurl obscenities at that member. Fortunately it all stopped lately when I came up with a signature that said
"I kindly ask [name of that member] to refrain from replying to and commenting on my posts and threads. Of course if you find my writing so interesting that you cannot resist then I cannot stop you, but please try your best, thank you."
Shortly afterwards that user reported my signature to the mods π€£ because he felt publicly insulted by it and I got a message from none other than our @Gombessa urging me to remove the signature and encouraging me to reach an agreement with that other user to basically ignore each other for good, and it worked! (Thank you @Gombessa ! You deserve a better forum than that cesspool!)
After that I was able to post whatever I wanted without the apprehension that that member would come in and ruin the discussions. I guess it's a controversial proposition because it could be seen as a figurative restraining order of sorts, but it is evidently effective. So an easy way would be to have the option to request a mod to establish a two-way ignore with an other member, and the mods decide whether to do it or not. I think it's just logical that when we want to ignore somebody we also wish that they ignore us as well. So please consider this, thanks!
