I’m suddenly seeing posts from a user I have on Ignore, and have confirmed that person’s user ID is still showing on my Ignore list.

Posts that are added to a thread while you have that thread open bypass the ignore list. If you click away from the thread and then re-enter it, the posts should be ignored as expected.

Hello! I work for Discourse and check in on #Site Feedback here occasionally!

I looked into this thanks to your post and can confirm there’s a bug that makes an ignored user’s post visible in some cases. A fix has been made and it will be applied here soon!
