Sorry for the bump, but I'd like to let you know that people are still using the /ignore command. Are there any plans to remove the /ignore command as Damer suggested?
Removing the entire /ignore command is not a good idea. If a player doesn't want to talk to another player, so what. I've used the /ignore command countless times and in all honesty it made my time on RoF that much better.
About players /ignore'ing the staff; It all comes down to the reason someone is/was ignoring the staff member. If they simply don't want to talk to said staff member, I don't see what the big deal is. I could go on right now and ignore half the staff members if I wanted to. They wouldn't care very much, I don't think. If they do, they can contact me in many different ways
if they need to. If a player is breaking rules, and is constantly ignoring the staff, what would the point of keeping the player on the server be?
I just don't think /ignore should be removed. It's actually a fairly useful command to block out highly annoying people, and if it wasn't for this command, I probably would have left RoF a while earlier than I did.
I know for a fact that people are going to ask, "If you want to ignore people why don't you just turn off the chat?"
If I'm going to turn off the chat I might as well not be on the server.
This is all I have to say on the matter.
