Is it time for an Ignore User button ?

[Emerald]

What if I accidentally ignore myself? Then I would not get to see all my witty replies, my endless repetitions of lol, lmfao, he he and other such things. I would have to just type and hope that what I typed is what I was thinking and lootius forgive, and never know if I mis spelled something MA if you do this, make sure, I am begging you, that we can't ignore ourselves.

Oh I voted yes by the way.

another option would be to add an "ignored channel" to the chat maybe. Every ignored user automatically gets his chat transferred there so you can still read what they write (if you want to)... so many possibilities out there...

I think it is a good idea and something that would definately be useful to many. I voted yes.

Maybe I'll voice my opinion on why I don't want any Ignore function.

First of all, ignoring someone only ends up creating more frustration, and incomprehension for both parties.

It's much better to let an arguing go on un-tamed
Maybe that's only me, but ignoring someone is so disdainful...

The only possible acceptable use I'd see to it is blocking spammer messages, but there are other ways to solve this... for example improving the spam filter, so It does not allow you to repeat the same big message with a dot or a = successively.

All in all I don't like the idea of being able to close your ears to certain people... there's already enough of this, no need to push it further

If it would be just another chat channel like i wrote, you could still read it, if you wanted.

I disagree there, we've had such bad spamming at swampo already that it was simply impossible to chat for like an hour, because some guy thought it fun to simply spam multiple lines of a single character etc.

If that would work, there wouldnt be any spam e-mails anymore.

In this very case, an ignore button won't help, as it could be a psychologist or lawyer behind the spammer..

I'm definitly supporting the idea of an ignore button to filter out all the spam you personally dont like to see.

I swear, I could get Mindark to retain 10x more participants if they adopted some of my ideas.

After 4 years playing MMORPG's I've developed a rather thick skin however.

An ignore button would be very bad for EU. The reason is, that it would allow scammers to throw some fit, making the regular people ignore him, after which he would be free to go and scam (often) new arrivals or others who haven't been with us a long time. The only thing that helps, is making screenshots of the abuse (such as bad language, spam, trade-chat and trade-advertizements in the main-chat-channel) and filing support cases. MA may not seem to act, but they do keep an eye on those damaging to the community. After all, what is more easy than letting somebody hang themselfs with their own rope, in building a case.
