If I unintentionally ignored a prominent member of a forum, would they be notified or informed about being ignored?
As someone who mostly access the forum through mobile device and touch screen rather than PC and mouse pointer, I can assure you that there's no feature to get notified... yet --I really hope tryninja didn't land on this thread and get the idea to add this feature on his notifier, LOL-- I accidentally pressed ignore button more often than I care to admit when I actually tried to click their trust score. And even if they get notified, prominent or not, you have the full right to put anyone you don't want to read their post on your ignore list.
If I may use this thread and chance to propose a feature, can we please move the ignore button somewhere else? On the right side of the post above "report to moderator" perhaps? Or more "hidden" like on the user's profile page? Sometimes I wished it didn't sit too close to the buttons I frequently clicked with this clumsy fingers of mine.
