payitforward Posted September 16, 2017 #859 Share Posted September 16, 2017 And that's why I love the ignore feature! ;) Unless someone is REALLY offensive, I can't make myself use the ignore feature. It's kind of like not being able to look away from a horrible crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of like not being able to look away from a horrible crash. I only use it when I am attacked for no reason, and the attacker just won't let up. Ignorance is bliss in this way. ;) Have only had to use that feature three times, and have been a member since 2003. Ironically two of those culprits are the same person.

Biker19 Posted September 16, 2017 #863 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I agree.Cannot understand why only 1 in 50 viewers actually post. That's true of most threads - participation rate is in the 1-5% range (view/post). Most are lurkers or simply come for the info/entertainment and see no need to post.

My UK android phone doesn't let me ignore and every post on every thread i subscribe to shows and my curiosity means i read them.

Most are lurkers or simply come for the info/entertainment and see no need to post. In a way it is probably just as well some of the lurkers don't post because they might be unpleasant on their posts and get the threads closed by the moderators.
