but it does matter. you can't join private games either or battle royals (gasp!!!). a person can put you on ignore without your ever having played, without ever having an exchange in the forum, without your ever even knowing the person exists!!! happened to me, and i had to beg to get off to join a private game on a minty new map... then the jackass acted like i was doing him a favor... the ignore list, like the feedback system, is abused.-0

Any method apart from that one, Captain Obvious?

It should be noted that one needn't have personal experience with a person to be able to "ignore" them. For instance, I only have a few on my list but most are people that I have never played. I stumbled across a thread where somebody pointed out that player x was joining dozens of games at once and either deadbeating or making a point of suiciding in those games. I checked out the player and noticed that those things were happening. Since I'd rather not get involved with a game that one player holds up the game by 3 days or, even worse, just throws themselves against the nearest player, I put that person on ignore to eliminate the chance of being unlucky enough to end up in a game with them.

So, I'd prefer the setting stay as it is.

but since i haven't been given any reasons for it, i have convinced myself that it is because i am the "much too sexy", and the other dudes are jealous of it, and the women are intimidated by it.

because, after all, it couldn't possibly be because of anything I'VE done.


I've seen your personal pictures and agree that you are pretty damn sexy. I've been ignored for a lot of reasons, but when they had they had the original ignore list I had about 3 pages of people on my list. amyslider put me on her list after I wished her luck, she called me a piece of shit, deadbeated, then ignored me. I agree it can be abuse at times. In that case just add the person to your ignore list, because if he's doing it to you he's doing it to others as well. Then he will realzie the day when he cannot join any games because he's on everyone's ignore list who beat him.

The only one that really matters is that you are excluded from joining a game that they're in. Honestly, I don't think that's enough reason in and of itself to get bent about it. However, assuming the OP is correct and the player is just trying to avoid him because he's "too good" then that's sort of lame.

well, if u can ignore someone just bc u have the power to do it, why not use it? who cares the reason if u hates the player or dislike him? i dont think that matters..what matters is if u have the power to do it and in this case, yes, the system allows us to do that then...

nope, it's dumb. just like feedback, you should only be allowed to put someone on ignore if you have played them. period. what is to stop me from putting as many freemiums on ignore as i possibly can, eliminating you from ever joining one of my games for absolutely no reason other than you are not a paying member of CC? i've never played you... never pm'd you... didn't even know you existed before your post. but, i can put you on ignore for absolutely no reason.. just doesn't seem right.-0

The ignore option is the best feature, it allows me to have a game without known disrupters whom are identified partly by their feedback and by rep..... :mrgreen:

yeah, that is a great way to use the ignore, but the OP was put on ignore for being a better player than the guy he beat... i was put on ignore for posting in the forums!!! sooo,i agree with how you use the ignore feature, but it is abused, as is the feedback system...-0

I've never laughed so hard during a game as the couple I've played against her. She called me a "windowlicker" once. Funny stuff.

I'd put people on my ignore list if they were intentionally losing games, and hence would cost me more points than they should. Anyone who drops below 400 will take 100 for winning and give 4 for losing, so if they've been losing intentionally to get that low, they should be bale to win more than 4% of 2 player games. It's more akin to a boxer who won't fight outside of his division, because the risk is not worth the payoff when they're lower or higher.

There are a number of people on this site who I would never play because they are idiots and insult everybody they come accros.

I think you're throwing the baby out with the bath water. Certainly there are situations where people would abuse the ignore feature and block people who don't deserve it from joining games. However, how much does that really happen and that same person will be able to find tons of other games to join. On the other hand, forcing you to actually play someone before you can ignore them subjects you to having known a-holes, deadbeats, and sabateurs join your games. Once again, from time to time, someone will post a warning thread about this person or that person joining 100s of games and never making a move. If it checks out, the first thing I do is add them to my ignore list so I don't get stuck in a game with them. Other reasons warrant that as well. It is frankly my favorite element of the feature.

Like feedback, I'm generally more concerned about game play than "rudeness" and only have one person on ignore for being a dick. I just want good games and avoiding known jerk-offs is one way to insure that.
