so who else has never used "hide thread" or "ignore"?

[fishwax]

I think they're great features, and sometimes I find myself wishing that some posters would use them more often--as much as I love the "enough about X" threads filled with "the hide thread feature is your friend" posts.

But as for me, I've never hidden a thread or put a poster on ignore. (I'm saving it for a special occasion, I guess.) Anyone else?

1. I've only put someone on ignore once...

and it was by accident.

I haven't hidden many threads. I'd miss out on too many good thoughts and events
if I did.

2. I have used both.

Sometimes folks are just too much to take. I don't pick fights or flame, I just click one or the other.
Helps the blood pressure.

3. I never used "hide thread" or ignore in 2 and 1/2 years but...

2 months ago I had to put 2 jerks on my ignore list!

Damn! After all that time...

I thought I would be the first DUer to

never put someone on ignore but...I failed...:cry:

Hey! Nobody's perfect!

[Omphaloskepsis]

4. I use the "Hide Thread" option all the time..

The copycat threads are usually really stupid.

[ashling]

5. Never used either

but I sometimes wonder if most of DU has me on ignore LOL

[Porcupine]

6. And ruin my fun?

Stomping on idiots is half the fun of boards like this. Why would I want to hide them?

[enigmatic]

7. I've used "hide thread" alot

Mostly when GD goes insane like w/ The Pope and Saddam; it's always the same people screaming at each other and it gets old quick. I used "ignore" once on somebody, but couldn't remember why I used it in a few days, so it kinda defeated the purpose for me..

[puerco-bellies]

8. Never have probably never will.

[Mutley]

9. I used "ignore" once

But took the person off because I was too curious about what he/she was saying. :P

Oh, and I once put someone on ignore by accident.

I usually only use the "hide thread" feature on threads that are repeatedly kicked for days and weeks at a time.

[WhollyHeretic]

10. I've tried ignore a couple of times but I'm too curious to keep it

There are a few people I just don't respond to anymore.

[Drum]

11. Just put the first person on "ignore."

I'm less annoyed already!

:D

[NC_Nurse]

12. I've only used ignore once

never hidden threads....I just don't click on them if I'm not interested.

[LaraMN]

13. Nope. I'm too lazy,

and where "ignore" is concerned, I just don't generally get that worked up about other people and their quirks.

[GalleryGod]

29. And, lest we forget, you are Drop Dead Gorgeous and Witty, My dear

Thus very few bother you.:yourock:

[NewJeffCT]

14. Never done it

No desire to avoid anybody or anything here.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Never.

I like to see the fireworks. :)

[yewberry]

16. I have 10 threads hidden right now

...down from a high of 19 last week. All africam posts.

(The africam doesn't play on my computer, so I hide the threads.:think:)

I don't tend to do a lot of ignoring otherwise.

[idgiehkt]

19. I use it that way

I can do africam but other stuff I hide. I bet I had 20 threads hidden last night. Some stuff is just trying.

I've only used ignore once, briefly, but I found it so annoying that I just switched to using hide thread for that person. Hide thread is an all-purpose perk, I love it. The only thing I don't like about it is that it kicks you out of the forum and you have to click back in. I hope someday if possible they will change it so you can just click, click, click right down the column without ever leaving the lounge.

[bigwillq]

25. I hope you can click, click, click too

I've been wanting them to add that feature for years.
It would make life so much easier!

:)

[auntAgonist]

17. never.

[BarenakedLady]

18. Hide thread - no

Ignore - only for about 3 seconds.

[Rosemary2205]

20. I used it once on someone who ended up tombstoned.

I was being stalked and was told his PM's couldn't reach me on ignore either. I never found out if that was true or not becuase the guy hot hisself tombstoned within 24 hrs.

[Scout1071]

21. I've never used it.

Although I can think of 3 DU'ers (current and/or former) that I wanted to use them on.

[WCGreen]

22. Free Speech and all....

If I don't agree woth someone, I'll state my case and then, just walk away....

I had a stalker about a year ago...

But since then, not too much gets under my skin...

[femmocrat]

23. No, Neither one. No reason.

[bigwillq]

24. I use 'hide thread' all the time

I only put one person on ignore but took them off because I didn't like how it would say "ignored" everytime that person posted.

[ContraBass Black]

26. If I start using them, there won't be much left for me to read.

[Dervill Crow]

27. I once had someone on "ignore" for about an hour. n/t

[GalleryGod]

28. Are you kidding me, 'Wax??

I'm looking for a "hide an entire page" capability in 2007 !
As for ignore? Maybe 100.
:rofl: :spray: :rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

30. I've never used those features.

If I don't want to read a thread, I don't. And I find it more interesting to read things from people who post idiotic or flamebait threads. :P That way, I know what's going on and I can stay far, far away from them. :)
