Couldn't agree more with the bolded line, but that's why there's bans and infractions! I feel they're being too soft =/
I've noticed that a lot of people tend to ignore the bans and infractions, which I know is just infuriating from a Mod and Admin point of view. I don't think they're being too soft, but rather they are trying to make it easier on the users. I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be complaining about Nation due to some particular people, and they really couldn't seem to avoid that person based on where they normally post (or they chose to not even try and find a solution..) but with this option they have the ability to not see that persons posts at all. It's a method to ensure that nobody's feathers get too ruffled.

Or there's this one person that pisses everyone off but manages to not get permabanned.

Eh... there are different ideas and suggestions, but I'd think I speak for most of us when I say that you've done well on this site, Osay, and we appreciate your efforts to make it even better. (and the time you put into keeping it running)

I agree.
This seems like a waste of time, honestly, but I guess if you're bored and wanted to do a little upgrade and fish in a few thanks then you might as well do it.

Rude.
Osay didn't make the upgrade to fish for thank you's.
This upgrade is very efficient for people; it helps us avoid stress brought on by rude or stupid members [S]mostly in the Mabinogi section[/S].
I myself have absolutely hated one member pretty much ever since this member joined. Every post this member makes rubs me the wrong way, and I think this particular member is ignorant and childish. Instead of getting angry every time this member posts, I like not having to see anything this member posts.

^ shizz happens. If someone hates another person, isn't it better to let them ignore them completely rather than have their posts out in the open? That is far more likely to lead to more conflict, making unneeded drama.
Wanting everyone to get along, hold hands and sing songs therefore having no need for this feature is unrealistic.

Words of beauty.
I'm kind of offended though, reading this again.

Osayidan has put tons of hard work into making Nation what it is. It kind of pisses me off that you have the audacity to make use of it then totally rub him into the ground like that.
That just...ugh.

That was really rude. Osay does a lot for Nation, he doesn't even HAVE to let Nation continue, but he does. It's awesome to know that people think so low of the ones who make this forum run.
Honestly, why did you even bother to comment if all you were going to be was rude Rozel?

After my break up he tweaked this ignore system just for me .-. he's a really good guy.

As far as "waste of time" he helped me with quite a few problems i had on the nation months ago, this update was a pretty nice gift for the rest of the forumers.

But you're a mod. How can you do your job efficiently as a mod if you go around ignoring users? I'm sorry but how can I take you seriously if you go around saying something childish like that?
I have no qualms agains any mod, but I blieve this is the worst line I've read from one of you. You're part of the authority for pete's sake, that was a terrible public statement.

Except she never stated that she does that. She said
one user, not every member. Staff members are people just like us, just with powers entrusted to them.
Mods aren't above getting irritated by people; it's human nature. If you assume all Mods have the patience of a Saint and are above getting annoyed and/or irritated, then you my good sir have unrealistic standards.
I can say from past experience as a Moderator that sometimes I would rather ignore certain people than watch them douche up the area, since clearly they weren't douchey enough to be banned.

Regardless if the person irks you are not, as a moderator you are there to keep the forums peaceful and clean. If you are ignoring a member, that can not be done properly. Most of the time the person you want to ignore is the one who spams/flames the most anyway.
I'm not saying Skye does this, I'm just saying that if any moderator does they shouldn't be doing it. I wanted to block quite a few people when I was moderator, but I didn't because it would prevent me from doing my 'job' properly. If there is a problematic person, they need to just be dealt with rather than having a moderator just 'ignore' the person and let them screw up the forums anymore.
Of course, that's not to say I don't want the feature in. It does have it's benefits, but only if used properly..
Anyway, that's my two cents.
