| We are excited to announce the addition of a new feature to our forum: an ignore user function. At the bottom of the Forum Settings page, you can add users to your ignore list. This will collapse the added users' posts on the forum, hiding them from your view. Please note that this is different and separate from blocking users. Our forum moderating staff highly encourage you to use this feature to ignore users who get on your nerves, rather than replying aggressively and/or abusively. A few notes:
This is the first new feature of a series of planned changes for the forum. Please look forward to some more changes (that many of you have been requesting) coming up soon. Once again, I'd like to note that development on MAL is a team effort: multiple projects are being planned, developed, debugged, and executed simultaneously. So we'll have updates for you on other areas of the site coming up soon as well. We appreciate your patience. |
| holy damn, finally a repeatedly suggested feature is now implemented, nice work MAL, i doubt i will use it but it will be great help instead of waiting for moderators to stop the trolling |
| This is great. |
You will be what you will to be. |
| Yay! Less people will pick on me now :P Sadly, I have to get used to "My Watched Topics" being pushed to the left now since I click it very often. Thanks for the hard work. |

| Ah, looks like it works pretty nicely. Just for testing though, I don't really dislike anyone here enough for actual practice. I'll take any new features we can get though, provided we don't lose any old features in the process. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Thank's |

| Question: Can the blocked user see our forum post?? |

| Can the forum setting putted in the bottom instead along with search feature? I'm accidentally keep hitting ignore topic instead of watching since it is pushed to the left. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| nice idea :) |
 |
| First good update I've ever seen. The first step to global peace? |
 |
Username said: YAAAAAAAY! That means if I added someone in my Ignore list, he will not see me in Forum and I will not see him as well? Or only me? this new feature is not like facebook block feature only you will not see the forum posts of a ignored user |
| Now this is a feature worth celebrating over. Thank you, MAL! |

I demand 300 at least Staff members cannot be added. What if I add them while they were still not part of the staff? |

| Interesting development we have here...:v |

| OMG yes. Alot of annoying people recently :/ |
| Nice new feature. Good job MAL mod. |
 |
| Cool! Not like I'll use it, but it is still cool. Plutia said: Question: Can the blocked user see our forum post?? You are not really blocking the user, just ignoring his/her posts. |
| Not a person that ignores people, so I will have little use for the feature, but it is visible that some would benefit from it. Stay collected; keep the list clean. :p |
| Next feature:See the list of people who have ignored you :P |
| nice way to deal with the low priority reports based mostly on being annoying or baiting anything which simplifies the mods work can allow them to focus more on other things and it's also an interesting feature for the users worldeditor11 said: Staff members cannot be added. What the..... xD this is supposed to be a feature to emulate the reports, so in that sense they're assuming a report of a staff member would be ignored Danny001 said: Next feature:See the list of people who have ignored you :P or have a counter on the profile to show how many ignored the user (or would it make more sense to have it next to the posts?) |

| This seems a bit silly. The point of a forum is that you interact with a large group of people, and sometimes you aren't going to like those people. If anything, there should be a form where you report users for abuse rather than something like this. People are going to use this just because someone makes a snarky comment towards them one because people are babies who can't handle jokes. |
 |
| tried it on some random people, collapsing posts is a lot of fun maybe it could be further improved by adding a little "ignore" link into each post (next to the "report" ?), to make it easier to ignore someone while not having to go all the way into the forum settings @Zazie122 "If anything, there should be a form where you report users for abuse" the "report" link is already there for that "People are going to use this just because someone makes a snarky comment towards them one because people are babies who can't handle jokes." yes, this is what this feature is for, to reduce the number of people sending reports for those same reasons (i'm assuming here) |

Quite a useful feature if ask me |
 |
| Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you! :worship: Also, I loled at "My MAL-announcement : ignore users". It really feels very much for me. :) But I am not so sure a max. of 30 users is enough ? ------------------ Zazie122 said: This seems a bit silly. The point of a forum is that you interact with a large group of people, and sometimes you aren't going to like those people. Yes, but between some of us users there will never be no interaction possible, that'd be somewhat worthy. A nude beach's purpose is that we can feel free to enjoy beach and sea nude. I may still want to wear shoes if the sand is too hot, or for glass shards, sea urchins and the like ... People are going to use this just because someone makes a snarky comment towards them one because people are babies who can't handle jokes. Well, that's their own problem. Who wants to be childish will not be kept from it by missing features. |

Max said: Zazie122 said: If anything, there should be a form where you report users for abuse rather than something like this. There is, but the people here never use it. Your not knowing about it is a good example of that. It's right there! No no no, it's different. You're reporting an individual forum post, rather than the account itself. There's no "report this user" feature -- it's "report this post". Zeando said: @Zazie122 "People are going to use this just because someone makes a snarky comment towards them one because people are babies who can't handle jokes." yes, this is what this feature is for, to reduce the number of people sending reports for those same reasons (i'm assuming here) Fair enough, that's plausible. I still don't agree with it. Max said: Again, barely anyone uses the report button. This was likely implemented because people often get into arguments, which creates more material to moderate. Were we responsible with what power we've been given, the forum wouldn't suffer for it. Clearly we're not. B-But forum arguments are fun! I don't know why the mods are so against them, since a lot of them are just banter and aren't actually malicious in any way (maybe).

And some people are going to dunk you and your bare feet in the ocean and hold you under for a few seconds. That's what a forum is. |

Max said: Were we responsible with what power we've been given, the forum wouldn't suffer for it. Clearly we're not. it isn't that much power anyway, it affects only the ignorer, and if abused the ignorer is going to self exclude him/herself (the 30 limit also prevents from ignoring everyone) i rather think this won't work well in some cases, like baiting, cause someone who gets baited is unlikely to even think about ignoring the bait this will really work well with constantly annoying posters (or well known baiters), a bit less with cases like the new accounts created only for spam/bait a further upgrade of this feature could be: being able to limit the ignoring to some specific forums (like some posters being annoying only on some shows and not on others, for example) |

Ana said: Zazie122 said: There is a blank report feature under "Help" on the menu bar. You can utilise it for such circumstance.No no no, it's different. You're reporting an individual forum post, rather than the account itself. There's no "report this user" feature -- it's "report this post". That's not really obvious though, nor is it probably prioritised. Given the speed of the MAL staff (nobody in particular, just overall) I doubt those harassment reports get dealt with on a timely basis. I'm not condoning bullying or harassment, but people seem to think that everything negative said about them is harassment in some form but eh. |

| Freaking finally! but can they still see out posts and topics? I ask because of the second note. If you ignore someone but can still see what they post by clicking the faded header, then can they do the same? I'm just not sure how it would worked on the ignored user's end. |
| @ Hachiko75 How it will be handled here, only time/experience will show. However, from all other forums using standalone forum software I know, I see it handled so that ignored users can still see your posts, and typically they get no indication that they are ignored by you. (can't message you, though, so there's a strong hint) There you would also see their messages when quoted by someone not-ignored. You can however use the "ignored" status to be recognised by custom scripts which would then change appearance of ignored posts (get rid of totally) or even replace quotes with "here be ignored stuff" or whatever you want. (Foxreplace for Firefox can be used for this) |

| Very useful ^^ |
| So if I was ignored by someone and he was to reply to my post in a forum game but since he ignored me couldn't see my post, is this okay like that? |
| Thank god, now I can avoid 37k+ post count shitposters, half of the casual discussion critics as well. |
