PSA: How to "Ignore" a Poster

Just like your mother told you when you were a kid, the best and easiest way to deal with a person who you find offensive, ignorant, rude, annoying, negative, or purposely antagonizing is to "Ignore" them.

Fortunately, the JetNation forum software makes it simple and easy to ignore a poster.

  1. Click on your account icon at the very top of the screen (should have your avatar picture)
  2. In the Drop Down menu, you will see a link called "Ignored Users" - click on that link
  3. Here you will see a list of all the posters you already ignore, if any.
    • If you wanted to, you could unignore any of them or change your ignore settings
  4. At the top of the Ignored Users page, you will see "Add new user to ignore list"
    • In the the text box below that, start typing the username of the poster you want to ignore
    • The system will show users that match the text - so you don't have to know their exact or entire username, just the 1st few letters
    • You will then select the 4 ignore options: Posts. Messages, Mentions, or Signature (or some combination)
      • For example,  if someone has an offensive or annoying Signature, you can just choose to ignore that, or only ignore DMs if you want
    • Once you have done that, select "Add User"
  5. You can always unignore them later or change the 4 ignore options
  6. Even when a poster is on ignore, you will still see that they posted something and will have the option to read that post if you want - so unlike many forums, Ignore doesn't just erase someone from your feed entirely, which is probably good,

It's a quick and simple process that will probably save you a lot of frustration and make reading the forum much more enjoyable

Thank you.

How do you I know I’m not young anymore?

When I see this thread title and wonder how high the Prostate-Specific Antigen levels must be to ignore a poster. 

You've chosen to ignore content by Sperm Edwards. Options

What button do I click to ignore my 2-year-old when they throw a waffle at my face because I didn’t serve it on the right color plate

Instead of ignore feature, we should have the ability to tag people w/ a "stupid" marker.  Then when a user gets say 15 or 20 of those, we shoot them.

I think they are already on their way to experimenting with this in China.  This country not far behind.  It’s advanced cancel culture.

I have 3 pages of people on ignore. It's awesome.

I guess when you go on Jetnation, you only see your own posts.  Then you can respond to them.  Then, when you click back on, you see that you have many responses, which will make you feel that people are paying attention to you.  

Which is a nice feeling!
