Just curious . . . do the mods have some way to gather stats on ignore lists, such as how many ignore lists a member is on?
If so, I’d like to know what the high number is (no usernames, of course).
Thanks.

If there is, I am unaware of it. It’s never once occurred to me that I’d need to know.

I don’t think we have access to this information, and even if we did, I have no idea what use we’d make of it. It’s not like we don’t already know which posters many find annoying.

To the best of my knowledge, we have no way to see who is on an individual poster’s ignore lists, or which (or even how many) ignore lists they may be on.
As has been said, there’s no reason we would need to know this. Being on an ignore list isn’t against the rules.
And as **Chronos** implies, you can probably guess as well as we can which posters are the “most ignored.”😉

Ooh! Ooh! I bet I’m on that list! No one ever pays attention to me.
Oh…you mean the “ignore” list? Never mind.

Thanks. I just thought it would be fun to see some numbers if they’re available.

The 27 is particularly important.

If there was a way, **Zeldar** would have found it. 😃
