Wow, I have my first zone ignore! I'm amused and a bit offended. This person has set to ignore everything!
Does that mean said person can't read this post?
I personally think if I'm being ignored, then that person should be removed from the list for me. For example, why do they still show up in quick note list, if I can't qn them?
Sheesh, it happened so fast. No explaination or anything. I guess this sort of thing can happen when chatting to folks on the internet.
Too bad, I thought a friendship was developping.
I've been put on ignore by people I've neverr even exchanged private quicknotes with, so I had no idea why they put me on ignore. Perhaps they saw something I posted in public quicknotes and became offended. I know it is possible to accidentally click on the ignore link because I have accidentally done it and had it accidentally done to me. But if this person is ignoring everything, they obviously didn't do it by accident. I know it can hurt your feelings when this kind of thing happens, but there are lots of other people on here to meet.
happened to me too. most of my ignorers are people i never ever talked with, oh well, what can i do.
it can hurt though when someone you thought you were becoming friends with suddenly hears you don't share the same religious ideas and decides to drop you. been there. but hey, if that's what makes them happy
I've never been ignored. I guess I'm lucky? Usually I've accidentally made enimies while chatting on the web. Oh well.
Thanks for the replies. *smile**
Ya know, I think I rather not know. It is too bad there isn't a feature to ignore the ignore list. *lol*
I wouldn't have known if there wasn't a big announcement! Here's your ignore sign. *smile*
*Shrugs,* aw'well, it is out of my hands now. As Libra Lady says, there are other folks to meet.
yeah there are and if these people wanna do that crap without even trying to get to know you then your better off not talking to them cos they oviously cant be mature enough. i dont put people on ignore unless they really anoy me and that takes a lot.
most of my ignorers are people that don't even talk to anyone. people that log in to play the games and nothing else.
a couple of ignorers pressed it by accident, and i know at least why 1 of them is there in the first place.
maybe the person in question is new, or they got the user ID numbers mixed up.
One person put me on ignore. I had never talked to said person, and I haven't seen said person logged in since then. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself for it. Yes, it's kind of annoying when the person gives you no explanation, and just kind of surprises you without warning, but....life goes on. It's possible that the person had a reason, and they were too scared to tell you, probably not because of anything you did.
agreed with everything previously said...so, there are plenty of us who'd like to make new friends. on that note...hi!!
Funny you should say that, Chelsea. Here I am. Lmao.
My opinion, don't make overmuch of this: Ignore is just a function of the software.
What we never really know is if we're being ignored - not the function but people just skip the posts.
Happens in real life ... and who hasn't heard the *Are you listening to me?!* from a SO or friend when distracted.
Only difference here is you actually know someone pushed a button on a web site. It happens to all of us in real life though
That is why I signed up to the Zone. I like making new friends.
is it really that big of a deal?
not like it's anyone you really care about right?
Last time I checked, I had 7 or 8 people ignoring me, of which most of them i'd never even heard of. But there's not much you can do about it, so I guess you just have to move on.
Yeah, no worries aboat this. Don't let it get ya down eh! There are much better people to meet round here.
Hey all, I really appreciate this response. I'm feeling some zone support! Thank you!
Emerald-Hourglass, I guess when it is all said and done, it isn't a big deal. With a few days distance, it surprised me, in an instence it happened, no discussion about it. We weren't close, but it felt like the beginning steps of a friendship.
I am feeling better about it, *smile.*
stupid people like yours truly accidentiall ignore folks and they don't actually mean to. sometimes i'm not even aware i did it.
I was pretty new to the zone when I accidently did it.
As far as being ignored, I choose not to be concerned about it.
Life goes on.
The same thing happened to me on Friday....again. I don't know who it was. Lol. But....oh well. One less person to talked to.
sometimes people hit the ignore link underneath a public quicknote that was posted without realizing what they did.
Yep, its very easy to do. I have presssed the button once by mistake. No worries.
I'm not sure if you all knew or not but if you should so desire, you can turn off the ignore links from within your profile. Of course this does have the down side that if you do then wish to ignore a user, that you have to go to a little more effort to do it, but turning the ignore links off will mean that you never will click them accidentally again.
Dan.
Thank you! That's a great thing to know there!
You can't ignore everything simply by accidentally clicking the link though, can you?
Nope, you have to actually go right in there and select that option under the settings I think.
Ah well you can always unignore.
There've been several instences in which I've accidently ignored someone, and was unaware of it, but that's beside the point in this case; When I first goined the zone, for no good reason apparently, I put a few people on ignore. I guess I didn't take time to get to know them, and misjudged them too quickly, but of corse by now, I've taken most of them off ignore; the ones who deserved to be unignored... And as previously said, it kinda does hurt a little when someone you thought you were developing a friendship with just out of the blue puts you on ignore.
Yes if you get attached to them I guess.
Well, then they were no friend in the first place if they do that, unless it was an accident.
my thoughts exactly.
