Sorry, no matter how much you try, you can not ignore yourself.
...is the message you get when you try to add yourself to your ignore list.


I guess ignoring yourself would be the exact inverse of John Malkovich entering his own portal.

If we're not allowed to ignore moderators and admins, does it not work the other way around? Can moderators and admins ignore the little people? I assume they can't. Otherwise Mac would have all the troublemakers on ignore.

This place has an ignore button? Oh yeah, I forgot. I just call mine the Gordon button.

Woops, I think I just saw A Name That Should Not Be Mentioned.

Excuse me while I cover my eyes!

someplace around here, anyone seen my keys?
We can, Alan, we just don't in practice. Kinda goes against the whole point of being a mod. So as far as I know, it's not done.

Maybe under very extreme circumstances I might, but I can't honestly think of what that would be. And if someone I was ignoring came into the forum I was moderating, I'd feel obligated to click their posts and read them as part of my forum duties. I expect the other mods would do the same. Makes it kind of pointless to put anyone on ignore if you're a mod.

I use the words "booger" and "Joaquin Phoenix" together in the same sentence?

Texas, usually
I have an internal ignore list, and therefore have no need of the forum's.

Neener.

:D
