Quoted from jlm33:None - we moderators are cursed to see everyone
You don't have to relive your dreams of power as a hall monitor. You can resign.

Quoted from thedarkknight77:None. I like reality in my life and that includes seeing and hearing it all..........Even the things I don’t always like. Sometimes it’s the people you hate the most that make you think the most.
Yep , only I'd change "hate" to " disagree with", and that would be the way I think as well .
Quoted from iceman44:If you feel the need/urge to report somebody because your feelings are hurt, just hit the ignore button.
That very notion hurts my feelings. What kind of satisfaction can i get if I can't complain about somebody?

Quoted from FalconPunch:3. Someone who came in almost every thread to plug his/her product.
Getting close to doing that on a couple myself. They don’t offend me or anything but it’s just be advertisements, I’d rather not see it. I see it more like a pop-up or spam blocker in that case.
None. I like to know who the dick heads and douchebags are. I couldn't imagine someone getting me so upset on a pinball site that I'd have to block a person. Just seems weird. I can scroll by and ignore people just like they were banner ads.
Quoted from Mr68:So how many people are blocking you now, Detective?
No idea, but sure am glad Pinside offers them the safespace. THis place is much more fun when some people use that iggnore feature liberally to customize their experience.
I commented as that previous user was obviously passive agressively trying to say they were iggnoring me, without out actually saying it to violate the rules.
Quoted from DaveH:Just one. His posts didn't add anything to the site. They were just useless babble and rabble rousing. And there were a lot of them. So poof. Out ya go.
As for everyone else, even when they disagree with me, they at least add to the conversation. So I don't feel the need to ignore them.
Awww... beelzeboob is entertaining!

Oh yeah, I got that and it was a good catch on your part.
Quoted from Whysnow:THis place is much more fun when some people use that iggnore feature liberally to customize their experience.
Yeah, I guess. But how are the chronic offenders supposed to learn about their bad behaviour and hopefully mature from it? By not confronting them, they seem emboldened and never learn.
Living in a bubble doesn't work for me.
Quoted from Mr68:Living in a bubble doesn't work for me.
agree 100%
I am just happy that Pinside provides options. Much like pinball, the more user selectable options to customize the experience, the better IMHO.
Quoted from yzfguy:Awww... beelzeboob is entertaining!
I'd never block Randy. In fact, where the hell is that little rat? I miss his wit.
Quoted from Mr68:Living in a bubble doesn't work for me.
Every forum where people gather for a specific purpose is a bubble to some extent. If you participate, you're in the bubble. Do you use the tools available to maximize your experience in the bubble? For some people that means reading every post, blocking no one. For others it means blocking people who don't contribute to what they like about the bubble.
Many people, many reasons. All of them valid to someone.
Quoted from tbanthony:How many people have you set to "ignore" on Pinside?
Only you so far.
Quoted from Strummy:Why set someone on ignore? It's good to know if someone is a dick or a hypocrite.
By the time I ignore them, I've already figured this out.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Many people, many reasons. All of them valid to someone.
Thumbs up. I'm happy for you and anyone else that wishes to use the ignore feature. As I said, it's just not for me.
Quoted from DaveH:I'd never block Randy. In fact, where the hell is that little rat? I miss his wit.
Taking a break. When I read some of the threads on here, like the rainbow puke one, I don't blame him. I've spoken with him recently, and he is just fine.
We can all have fun on here, even with sarcasm, and bust each others balls. But some people are just grumpy, self-righteous and condescending…and that gets old. I've unfavorited several threads today that went in that direction to better my experience. There's plenty of good people on here, and only a handful of asshats.

Suck it.

Anybody I've done shots with at both Pintastic and Pinfest is OK in my book.

not to mention I supplied the shots!

I didn't know shots were available there. Were they for tetanus or just the flu?

Sorry, I forget. I looked for it and couldn't find how to un-ignore and then accidentally bumped into it. When I did, I went ahead un-ignored everyone that I had previously ignored so I'm down to zero. I'll take a quick look though and see if my subconscious mind helps me find where it was again.
EDIT: Click on the Forum Settings ('gear' icon) and go to the bottom. There is a section for ignored users at the bottom. You can un-ignore there.
I've noticed that many times the most aggressive members are also the most easily triggered and use the ignore feature freely.
I come here to have fun and relax. I try to be positive, but give me attitude like a teenage girl and I hit the button! 
We all like the pins we should all see the positive in this hobby.

Ahh...the bliss of ignoring an annoying Pinsider. Finally pulled the trigger on one whose comments have been driving me crazy for over a year. Just don't understand why 95% of a person's comments on here have to be either negative or trying to put down a fellow person's comment. There is a difference in having a different opinion and trying to make someone feel like crap.
I've recently gone full amnesty on my ignore list, even crazed gun nuts who have PMd me invitations to "go shit on a sidewalk" cause that's what apparently we all do in NYC. (like...two completely different people did this! Who knew so many had a sidewalk shit fetish?)
Life is too short to hold grudges!

They are confusing NYC with San Francisco. Shit on the sidewalk is so bad out there they have created a "poop patrol" (see link). I was out there 3 weeks ago and saw a few folks drop deuces. Crazy!

Yeah, it's gotten really bad in some parts. Absolutely disgusting.

My neighbor keeps complaining about my "big dog" doing his business on his lawn. Little does he know that is just me conserving water...
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Zero
I like hearing from all walks of life. Even if they are douche nozzles
I ended up putting someone on my ignore list last week and then they deactivated their account.
So technically I'm still at zero
Quoted from Roostking:Y'all get what you ask for!
Not my city. I don't particularly care for SF or most of the Bay Area.
