I see what's in that screenshot if I click on "latest post" in a thread and that latest post is by an ignored member. Otherwise, I don't see any posts from people I've ignored, and I don't get notifications from them. If I reload the page having clicked there from "latest post" what's in the screenshot will be gone.
Yes, so if I go to a thread where the last post is by an Ignored Member and click on the timestamp right below where it says the name of whatever poster made the last post in that thread, it shows the thing in that screenshot by @BenitoChavez.
I am curious about how this behavior is happening. Is that how you guys are accessing threads, clicking on that timestamp? If so then the behavior makes sense. If not, idk what's going on.
Why don't they do it? Laziness and apathy. You really think some cashier making minimum wage and hates their job is really going to care about whether or not someone is using a stolen credit card?
The ignore feature is different with XenForo than with vBulletin. As long as you don't click any of the "show ignored content" links, you can carry on with minimal indications that the person you're ignoring even exists.
Ignoring them doesn't mean you won't see when they "like" your posts or when they "like" others' posts. It just means you won't be notified. They will still be listed in the "Likes You've Received" area in your profile.
One reason to be careful of deciding to put someone on ignore is that any threads they start will be invisible on the main OT page. If you weren't ever part of that thread, you won't know it even exists... unless you have your preferences set to email notification of new posts in the forum itself.
Another indication of an ignored post is the post #. If you see #1 and then #3, someone you're ignoring has made post #2. At that point you can decide if you want to know what was said or skip over it.
Given Xenforo's need to emulate social media, it seems logical that it should also emulate how blocking works on social media. That is, total removal of anything from that person.

It depends on if you use it as intended. My ignore list on TrekBBS is lengthy, and dates back years. There are people on it whose existence I had completely forgotten until I reviewed the list a few weeks ago. Whatever posts they made or threads they started are completely invisible to me.
Sometimes it helps to just vent, no language holds barred.
Some of the arguments I've gotten into on that site during this season of The Handmaid's Tale are spectacularly stupid (you'd think women could count and know that pregnancies take 9 months, but some of the commenters there seem remarkably math-challenged).
GS: be aware that sometime within the next 5-10 years somebody might reply to your post and you'll receive a notification in your email inbox at a probably embarrassing moment.

Wow, you deleted your post while I was having fun typing that. Did I help? It's good practice for creative writing anyway so it helped on my end, at least.
