Ignoring people should make their threads not display.

The comments did not go the way OP expected.

The comments show that people are stupid. Not surprising on the interwebs.

Of course if you ignore someone their posts shouldn't show up. And a bunch of people who want to support trolls or force others to read their inane drivel don't change that.

Again, why do you need to broadcast to the world you blocked someone? Are you still attached to them or something? It's like reading Shout chat all over again.

Threads from ignored people should definitely not show up, then there would be a point to ignore people...

I think it is bad because whilst there's a few legitimate 'trolls' to speak of, sometimes someone being a 'troll' doesn't always negate the validity of the points being raised and makes for an interesting discussion.

The other elephant in the room, of course, is that quite frequently what some people deem to be a 'troll' is anything but - and a clash of humour/personality/posting style/personal tastes is falsely pushed as 'trolling' when it's simply someone saying their piece.

Heh... I Block very very few people in game at least, even when they obviously sh1t on me sometimes for reasonable, sometimes for bad reasons because they don't have firsthand experience or real context / being in my shoes. It is very rare that i'll do and it needs to be very serious. I guess i should have started video recording and "documenting" everything that i'm experiencing in game for 2 + months so people finally get a clue ? Or post videos again about Xenosys vex admitting he been doing RMT services in FFXIV on his own twitch live 3 days ago ? But i also despise that "allways snitch online" so i just "let it be". What some propose as a solution is just borderline insane too. Not that bringing attention to problems i endure by bait calling into "Xeno should be banned again" is better, and maybe i'm baited by trolls that chat in game whe they troll the pf that, after 2 hours of last curtain call failing, say they come from his disc server too, so in the end, it's getting pretty hard to navigate. But "blocking" and confining yourself to an echoing bubble of your preferred opinion and point of view is not a solution and not resolving anything that would be a real / "serious" problem.

You're arguing as if people demanded the power to ban people from the forums.
They don't. They're asking for a way to filter out people they can't stand. Whether that be trolls, or just people who express themselves in certain ways, whatever the reason, it doesn't affect anyone but them, and them alone.

Ignoring someone on the forums should completely hide them from you, and you from them.
The same needs to be implemented in game.
