Quoted from sd_tom:

Is there a way for mods to see how many people are ignoring someone? It seems like a quickish way to not have to read every post but get a sense of pattern of behavior and may be able to help decided what folks are just not worth having around? Not to say this many ignores=ban but just a piece of information. I thought of something else but I think it would back fire - public top 10 ignored people on pinside list or something but there are those that like any attention they can get.

Quoted from frolic:

How about some "troll policing"... like a feature that flags potential troll users by the number of people who have put them on ignore?
So...
1) This would motivate people to use the ignore user function more, because they are essentially flagging that user towards review/ban.
2) The more ignored a user is, the less bickering that will happen
3) If that user hits some sort of threshold, they get autobanned or something for "Behavior not becoming a Pinsider" or something. The community is determining this. It could be a powerful tool against trolls.

Quoted from pezpunk:

Yeah, I've been on a messageboard that had a public ignore list, and it was a total disaster of a feature that was eventually removed. The public ignore list transformed the ignore feature from being a way to not see someone's posts (intended to reduce drama and negativity) into a mechanism for alpha posters to bully / embarrass / publicly shame other posters. Also created tons of drama stemming directly from the ignore list itself.

Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

This would be a good idea IMO.

Quoted from o-din:

Is that now verboten too? It may be an older term but I don't think it ever went out of style.

Quoted from vid1900:

You need downvoting because sometimes someone makes an authoritative tech post that is completely wrong.
Without downvoting, someone might read only that far into the thread and take the posting as gospel.

Quoted from Gerry:

let people be who they are
within nornal 2015 current day standards..... not "1950" standards
and most of these issues would be gone !

Quoted from Gerry:

Also, i think if the minority would stop trying to change the majority
then there would be less issues...
if your in the minority, then realize it.. make a decision to participate or leave others alone..
its when the minority bitches is when shit goes bad...
