Would it be possible to have the post reactions of ignored users not be seen?

I’m sure all of us have people on our ignore list that for whatever reason we just don’t jive with and the forum is such a better place when you can place those people out of sight and out of mind completely.

This is one aspect of reddit that I really love. If you block someone there, they are literally just gone from your knowledge or sphere of noticing.

I would argue it’s better for everybody on a site like this to keep people that don’t like each other fully away from each other… Including even little nudge reminders that result from seeing their post reactions

@arn - A possible extension of the ignore feature at some point perhaps?

Great idea. People do troll with the reaction icons. If they are being ignored, it would be great if they could be ignored totally.

Absolutely...incessantly at times, particularly if they aren’t getting a “reaction” they are looking for (since they are being ignored and posts not necessarily being seen)

“Laughing” (emoji/reaction) at everything a person says is a common one

Just to be clear on behavior.

Right now, if you ignore someone, you don't get an alert if they react, but you can still see it in the list of reactions for the post?

You see their reactions on all posts, including your own

So essentially an ignored user can troll every one of your posts though the reactions feature

Not ideal

If you see a member going out of his way to issue a reaction on your posts that you feel is trolling, please report that member and the moderation staff will investigate and act accordingly.

In my experience as long as you have the "LOL" and "thumbs down" reactions enabled, there will always be some who abuse and troll with them. IMO Xenforo should have this as included with the ignore function but unfortunately they didn't. This mod will do the trick though and has a few other additional features that no board admin (especially on a site this size) should be without.

Ya I saw that one and was testing it. It’s a bit “heavy” of a mod with a number of database changes.
