It is not only the person who has started the thread, any topic is greyed out in the new posts list if the person who has you on ignore has just posted on that thread.

Example: [USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER] has me on ignore and has posted this on the “Dump It Here” thread.

   “So I have just undertaken a first pass analysis of FMG.
It is likely manipulating its earnings. Specifically around capitalising expenses. Which of course    makes earnings look better.

I'm going to dig in deeper over the next few days.

jog on
   duc”

As an aside: obviously there are easy ways to see what was posted by someone who has you on ignore so the function is probably superfluous anyway. I never bother to do so and the only reason I did so now was for this example.

[USER=1]@Joe Blow[/USER], this brings in some possible unexpected consequences.

As it is greyed out, I know Duc has posted so I don’t bother opening it or go back to it for quite a while because until Duc stops posting there I am getting only part if the conversation anyway, which becomes confusing. Result is I miss [USER=57364]@Skate[/USER] 's last 6 or so posts and any of the other responses made . before I may go back to the new posts there in a few days. This will obviously occur in other threads to those also on ignore.

As this would be the case for anybody on ignore there is detrimental effect of possibly stifling discussion.

I don’t have anybody on ignore because I am happy for my posts to be read by everybody, not selected people. If there is anybody whose post I don’t want to read, I just don’t read them. The only other ignore I know of is the mad captain but he doesn't come out of his cabin much to other discussions.
