I’m on everybody’s ignore list!

What happens if I add myself to my own Ignore list?

This is some clever stuff! Neat tricks.

^ Okay, I give up. I can’t find any way to see how you guys did that. I can’t even see your replies on the Quote-reply screen.

“We can’t help you ignore yourself.”

Darn–it doesn’t look like you can. Even if you click on [View your “About Me” as seen by everyone else](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ), the view that comes up doesn’t have the User Lists drop-down. So you can’t put yourself on your own ignore list or contact list, and you can’t friend yourself. (That last sounds kind of dirty–I can see why they’d want to ban it.)

It’s Ignore Lists all the way down.
