Syntax: ignore (<playername>)
Ignoring a player will prevent them from having contact with you. You will
not see them talking on public channels, they will not be able to send
you tells or socials and you will not see them 'say' or 'emote' to others.
To ignore someone, use 'ignore <name>'. You may have up to 20 players on
ignore at any one time. Type 'ignore' with no arguments to see a list of
the players you have ignored. Use 'ignore <name>' again to remove them from
this list.
Ignored players will still be visible in the room, and channel history will
still include ignored players. Ignoring mobiles or Immortals has no effect.
Ignore does not check for a valid name, so make sure the name is spelled
correctly.
Keep in mind that if you are ignoring another player the same rules apply
as if you are the one being ignored. By doing so you are removing your
freedom to contact that player in any fashion. For instance, you are not
allowed to send personal notes or direct 'say' statements toward someone
you have ignored. It is also not okay to temporarily remove the player from
ignore in order to send them a tell, then place them back on your ignore
list immediately after - make a decision and stick with it.
It is okay for epic run leaders to temporarily unignore someone just before
an epic run and then re-ignore them afterward specifically for the purpose
of allowing free community participation in the run, as long as the
toggling is just being a gracious host.
Players will receive a notification that they have been added to your
ignore list. They will also receive a message when attempting to contact
you, and you will show up on 'who ignored' if done by that player.
Continued contact with a player that has you ignored (via notes or using
alts/etc.) is considered harassment and is against the rules- see 'help
policies3'. It is *not* illegal to PK someone who is ignoring you, that
is explained in 'help ignorepk'.
When a player who has ignored you writes a note in the ideas forum, it is
okay to reply to their note as long as you are only critiquing their idea.
The moment that you directly address the poster of the note, or any issues
regarding the poster, then the note is considered a form of harassment.
