I think that the Ignore button should be brought back to the forums. We've had many trolls and spammers, and that's why I think it's a good idea. I'm sure that a lot of members would agree. We did have an Ignore option a couple of summers ago, and I think that it worked wonderfully. If you bring back the Ignore button, I'll take on the responsibility of being a Moderator, again.

I probably wouldn't be the only member here who would come to feel convinced that at least 90% of the board had them on their ignore list, and would thus leave, consequently.

Feeling ignored is a problem for so many Aspies already.

Yeah its largely a bad idea. The next step would be polls taking of peoples ignore lists and those people who were on many list being banned. Trolls would just come back with a new name. Some low functioning person that had a hard time fitting in would just go into isolation. And the term Spammer is so subjective as that it could apply to anyone.

Yes, like me.
