That's why my Ignore List is (and always will be) empty. I want to experience the full, uncensored WO.
My ignore list is not empty. Yet I think none of my ignored users originated from the WO.
my ignore list is so big the forum errors out if i add a name in my ignore list profile page, i can only add by clicking the "ignore" button directly under the name on a post.
cuz back in the day when sig spam came into being people posted humongous ignore lists that basically included anyone with a sig. then you would copy/paste those huge list into your profile page ignore list. theory being better to ignore 1st and just add back if they were cool.
yeah it was that bad.
Wow, that sounds too bad indeed. I'm a newbie in the forum (registered in 2017) and spend my time almost exclusively in WO. No such problems here.
What you're describing is essentially the Ignore List being used as an ad-blocker (copy-pasting lists, etc.).
I like the way WO has a kind of self-cleaning mechanism: bad actors just leave on their own.
