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 don't think the forum should be changed because one new user with a few posts can't use his tiny screen without clicking on the wrong links. He could get a different device, or change the way he scrolls.
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.
To quote myself:
I don't like this either. Every extra click means more work for the same thing.
Maybe it's a Windows thing to want to have "warnings", but the Linux way is to do what the user wants, instantly. Asking for confirmation all the time only means people click it without reading, while it's much better to think about your actions before you do them.
