Just a couple questions. What would be wrong with knowing who has put you on their ignore list and who is in stealth mode?
I can understand the possible necessity for a mod to be in stealth mode.

Did somebody say something?
On a serious note (I know, I know - hard to believe) The ignore feature allows individuals that tend to upset you (not you personally) to be put in a position that won't do that anymore. Kind of like a peace keeping tool. As far as invisible mode - some people like to read/post and not be seen - I'm sure they all have their reasons.
So, are you saying it works both ways when someone puts you on their ignore list?Originally Posted by crashdive123
If you don't have the mentality to handle people here, how can you handle an emergency situating or any stressful situations that life will challenge you with?

No - If you place somebody on your ignore list you won't see any of their posts, but unless they place you on their ignore list they will still be able to read your posts.
Got it now. I was unclear.
I'm sure your better than me in emergency situations.If you don't have the mentality to handle people here, how can you handle an emergency situating or any stressful situations that life will challenge you with?

The question still stands, can we know who has us on their ignore list?
Not unless they tell you.
Can you make it visible to those involved?
I wouldn't put anyone on my ignore list. For me it would be cowardly...
Keep in mind the problem may be extremely complicated, though the "Fix" is often simple...

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. As a moderator I cannot tell if somebody has been placed on somebody elses ignore list.
That's right! However, I'd like to know. If ya' know what I mean.
Maybe that's what happened. The other 3,338 members are having a forum without us!
A lot of people sign up just to make browsing easier and to see the thumbnails that get posted. Some never post, some visit every now and then, some post a lot. Doesn't really have anything to do with the ignore feature.
It isn't available in the software. As Crash said, not even moderators can see who has who on their ignore list and the software doesn't let us change that. We can't change it at the user level and we can't change it at the moderator level.
If you think about, there's a pretty good reason vBulletin doesn't let you do that. Let's assume I could for a moment. So I log on to Who's Ignore and see that Crash has me on his ignore list. So I think, why that dirty so and so. And I end up flaming him (or vice versa). I can see that knowledge sparking no end to arguments and ill feelings.
As for Invisible Mode, I can site a couple of examples in which it IS good to use it. 1. In the past, we've had a member or two that would wait for specific ladies to log on them start PM'ing them. And PMing and PMing and ad infinitum. So the ladies simply began logging on in Invisible mode to avoid the head aches. Worked well. 2. If you are in a hurry, it's a nice option. If someone has sent you a PM but you truly don't have time to answer it then you can log in as Invisible, check what you need to check and leave. If you logged in as visible and they saw you were logged on and didn't bother to answer their PM they might get a bit upset thinking you were just ignoring them.
Moderators CAN see who is on in Invisible mode.

I got it. Thanks for the insight. Knowledge is ... well, forgetful.
Good. And please stop PMing all the ladies. Thank you.
