Agreed. The whole point of "ignore" is that you don't have to deal with them on your crap. If enough people ignore someone nobody has to deal with them anywhere. It's crowdsourced content control.

Currently 'ignored' people can reply to you, show up in your notifications, and presumably appear in your site searches (general, domain, tag, etc) and chatter (?).

What should happen:

    Currently 'ignored' people can reply to you,

Yes, but you shouldn't get a notification of it.

    show up in your notifications,

Didn't used to be that way.

    and presumably appear in your site searches (general, domain, tag, etc) and chatter (?).

Something's fucked up on your end, son. That's not what's happening with me. The only way I see minimumwage's posts are if I cruise global, and if I click my own chatter, the only people I see are people I follow or people who have replied to me.

Seems like there is some technical shit going wrong, because your experience should be the same as mine, and it isn't.

Yeah I've gotten reply notifications from ignored people.

I was guessing on the latter based on what mk wrote above. (That is, I don't know that chatter and searches don't screen your ignores, but mk's post suggests they don't.)

    ignore: You do not see the ignored user's posts in your feed or the global feeds.

    mute: The muted user cannot comment on your posts.

    hush: The hushed user sorts to the bottom of comment threads that you view.

...says nothing about search or chatter. Any clarification? Search especially.

mk keeps fucking with chatter. Sometimes he doesn't tell anybody. He nuked global chatter by accident once. After four days I posted a #bugski about it and he said "oops, my bad."

Apparently I'm the only one who uses it.

Search? I would consider search to be kind of obligatory at this point. It's not the hottest engine.

We're constantly fucking with the site. It's not exclusive to content you use (although you do seem to be having a bad time lately.) For what it's worth, I use chatter a lot but rarely dive into the global chatter. Perhaps if I had more time to cruise Hubski. I feel like I'm never around anymore :(
