| May 31 at 14:50 | comment | added | TylerH | @RebeccaJ.Stones "Alternatively, set limits on what proportion of a site's posts a user can comment on." This would not be feasible, as there's no way to do it in a way that doesn't also trample over the ability of other users who may just want to participate. | |
| May 29 at 7:01 | comment | added | einpoklum | I actually think SE have perfected the ability to ignore users. Except, not for you, but for them :-( | |
| Aug 3, 2023 at 7:55 | comment | added | Rebecca J. Stones | On the smaller sites in particular, there are users who comment on virtually every post (or virtually all of your posts). This behavior quickly gets annoying and tedious, and I've not wanted to use whole sites because of a single such user at that site (*groan* that user is commenting again). It would improve my user experience to be able to "unsubscribe" to such users. I can already ignore tags. I don't want to be a conscripted moderator deputy at every single site---mostly, I want to Q&A. (Alternatively, set limits on what proportion of a site's posts a user can comment on.) | |
| Aug 2, 2023 at 23:53 | comment | added | starball | how useful is it to ignore people? Even if you can ignore a comment, you can't ignore a downvote. And if you ignore something that gives you actionable feedback, then you can wait yourself right into a question closure without anything more specific than the standard closure notice. We have flags anyway. | |
| Aug 2, 2023 at 12:33 | comment | added | samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz | @Tinkeringbell not all annoying behaviour is serve enough that mods will take action. The ability to ignore users will allow the user to act themself for cases which are not acted on by mods. There could even be some statistic, e.g. "user xy gets ignored by 42 users" and mods can have a look into the case. | |
| Aug 2, 2023 at 12:22 | comment | added | Tinkeringbell Mod | I'm going to disagree with your last paragraph: I'd see it more likely as a net negative, where persistent problematic behavior from a single user account will end up ignored, instead of promptly flagged and moderated away (because too few other users see it). | |
| Aug 2, 2023 at 12:17 | comment | added | user3840170 | I would rather have that concern troll with a −64 question banned than add him to an ignore list and pretend there is no problem. | |
