We have something similar to that now.  There's a button to view a post by and ignored member.  I do that sometimes just to see if I'm missing anything.  Nine times out of ten it's just the same stuff that caused me to ignore them in the first place.  Once in awhile I have seen someone who started out seeming like a troll, but eventually began making more useful or interesting posts, then I've unignored them. 

don't you think ignoring people even on forums reveals one's antisocial temper, egocentrism, and inability to accept or deal with criticism ?

I think it's hard to distinguish suppression of listening from suppression of speech.  If I get up to speak in a 'public' forum, but everyone covers their ears when I walk up to the microphone, I don't get heard.  Has my 'right' to speak been violated?  At some level I think it has.  

No it hasn't. The right to speak is not the right to be heard. When Ahmedinejad addressed the UN where his rights violated by those countries whose ambassadors walked out? If you don't buy Penthouse magazine, are you violating the publisher's rights or the rights of the models to be seen?

No.   ;D

They might just be busy.  I wouldn't make too much of it.

I agree 100%, we should all be forced to sit Clockwork Orange style with our eyelids held open reading every post on this forum, lest we tread on anyone's right to be heard.

I'm absolutely loving the pro-ignore arguments, humorous and intelligent :)

I have to say that if everyone was forced to listen to me on the basis of my 'right to be heard', it would be the way things are for my other half when my hormones are awry.

NO-ONE should have to live in a world like that!  ;)

Obviously I don't.   Judging from the vehemence of your above post, you disagree?  

I see you have six people ignoring you.  Don't worry about it.  The rest of us continue to benefit from your calm, rational arguments and general charm ;)

When Ahmedinejad addressed the UN where his rights violated by those countries whose ambassadors walked out?
Yes, I'd say in some sense they were.  Iran is a member of the UN, meaning their representative has a right to be heard in that forum. By refusing to listen, other countries' ambassadors are violating the spirit, if not the letter, of the charter.  If Ahmedinejad were speaking on a street corner outside the building, it would be different.  Hopefully someday that's where he'll be :-)

If you don't buy Penthouse magazine, are you violating the publisher's rights or the rights of the models to be seen?
No.  That's an example of a market, not a "forum".  No product has a "right" to be purchased.

Judging from what you said about Ahmadinejad, you don't like him and you'd listen to him only out of professional courtesy in the UN if you were a diplomat. So, since we're not in the UN and we're not diplomats, we could and should drop the charade. Even the real diplomats put him on ignore. So why should we, ordinary ppl act like we are better (read more fake) then them? Or act any different? We're not bound by such rules as they're and most importantly or actions won't cause any real damage, much less a global meltdown, nuclear annihilation or anything like that. If you don't like the song on the radio, you change the station, the same with TV, if you don't like a (stock) photo or a web site you don't look at it. Following your no one/nothing should be ignored logic we should be accepting everything that's in front of us. What does that mean, that every woman should be a tramp? :)

From 15 to 18 ignores in a couple of days. I've analyzed it and confirmed what I thought was the major reasons for being ignored here. If you're thinking out of the box you get ignored. If you try to look at the big picture, especially if your way of thinking is a bit edgy, you get ignored. If you write a post that's a bit more philosophical than most, you get ignored. So the bottom line is that some ppl here, like everywhere else are closed minded and shortsighted. Not willing to even to try to use their brains and see beyond their noses. And there are a lot of ppl brainwashed by fox news and probably tea party activists. Blind patriotism is plaguing many threads as well. So you really have to not join debates that are only slightly political unless you're one of the conditioned sheeples or act like them.

All that being said, there are a lot of intelligent ppl over here with broad horizons. It was so obvious in this thread http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/easter-taking-its-toll/25/. You can see who's intelligent, open minded and knows what he's talking about. And who's just an ignorant, brainwashed person.

I'm surprised that you have any.  You always make perfect sense and write things in such an interesting way.

Hang on haven't we established that that is how you get ignores. Wait a minute, I think there could be a flaw in the theory....

NB Agreed BT's one of the people I would also never consider ignoring, even when I don't agree, he's one of the smartest most interesting guys on here.

I'm ignored by 3 people. lol  That's funny since I try to be nice, informative and generally I don't give a rat's behind about the 'politics' of microstock so I get to stay out of most of it.  I wonder what I wrote! 

(It's probably 3 istock exclusives who are upset that I call myself iSuck@istock.)

U're pathetic! I'm already at 20!!! ;D ;) 5 in a couple of days, it must be a record. It feels so good to be on top of something :) . My sales may suck, but at least I'm not a no one, a dull person no one notices. Even if he dies, nobody but his closest relatives would notice. Ppl like that are like amoebas. Some also act like they're in a petry dish :D

Maybe you could learn some complete English words and stop texting your insulting messages here, filled with non-words. That would be a small improvement to the torture of reading your self aggrandizing drivel.

Reminds me of someone else who self destructed after telling us how he could make so much more money if the agencies would just get rid of the sub-standard photos of other people, so his superior work could get more exposure. Yes you are a legend, in your own mind. It is a surprise that you only have 20 ignores. People are being very polite and kind to you.

Well, perhaps you could point out that non-words, so I could improve my English. OTOH, there's no helping you, your ignorance is far too great and view of the world outside US, which you obviously consider inferior, is so absurdly skewed that there's no helping you. Someone who says:"People are jumping out of windows in Japan working for minimum wage making iPads, stressed out and underpaid", shows all of that. Europeans are just communists for you, there's still curfew in Romania and no freedom whatsoever and you were the laughing stock for posting those ridiculous working hours stats which you based your view on. Fortunately you were at least clever enough to keep quiet after being ridiculed and rubbished by ppl who actually have the knowledge and insight into it and not oppose them with your narrow minded and ignorant views.
