Hi PowerGlove.

I have noticed this myself a few times but never gave it much attention, but today when I saw this post, it reminded me of this and I wanted to suggest this change.

So it's about the "Ignore" feature/button that we see under a user's profile in a thread. What happens is when we click that button, the user gets ignored immediately, and this can cause problems sometimes just as the user in the post I mentioned above said that he tends to ignore a lot of users by mistake when scrolling on a mobile phone. I know that it reloads the page when the button is clicked and one should notice what just happened, but maybe some people wouldn't notice.

So, I suggest that there should be a pop-up notification when someone clicks the "Ignore" button asking user's consent before actually putting the other user on ignore. So when I click on the "Ignore" button, my browser should show me a pop-up saying, "Are you sure you want to put [user] on ignore?" and then there should options such as "Yes" and "No". If someone has clicked the button knowingly, they would go ahead and click yes which would put the user on ignore, and if it was clicked by mistake, clicking "No" should revert the action and get the user back to the page without reloading.

I checked this whole thread and I didn't see anyone suggesting this. So I believe it's not a repeated suggestion.  Smiley
