How many star members have you on "Ignore"?

(note: One cannot post a poll in Meta. The goal is to keep this reasonably anonymous)

To find out, click "My Profile", go to the "Transparency" tab, then click the "Show me my Transparency page" link. The number is about half way down.

4 blocking my emails.

Which, as many others have noted, is weird. Why go to the trouble of blocking my email but not ignoring me? I've sent maybe 10 private messages in the year I've been here and they were all either in response to messages to me or, in 1 or 2 cases, in support of something posted in a forum or an explanation of something posted in a forum. It's not like I'm death threat guy.

Maybe it's a way to keep up with who they don't like without actually ignoring them?
Maybe they ignore mail first, then if you offend/annoy them again they put you on full ignore?

I can't really think of any other reasons.

To whom it may concern,

Like you I've never sent a PM except in response to one someone sent me. I have no idea who or why, but it's REALLY. REALLY bothering me.

Zero for the longest time, then one for about two weeks, then back to zero and now one again. Must be a Jazz purist.

You on the other hand fizz, I can't imagine why anyone would ignore.

they're a nasty bunch

i don't know why anyone would ignore you either, other than simply for the fact you're one of those damn bassists. i'm going to go see my bassist husband off to work now.

... it's pretty close.

I believe it's more the style of my posts (the "dots&quot than anything else (though a few
may find me personally insufferable ).
.
That's a GOOD thing. Much better for all around... I actually appreciate the people who
have taken that proactive step. They're not annoyed and they don't have to annoy
everyone else with unending expressions of their so-easily-fixed annoyance.
.
I LOVE Ignore. It strips away all excuses for whining about "dots".
.
.
ironically, I've never put anyone on Ignore, though there are some so obnoxious and
aggressively disruptive that perhaps that hasn't always been a good choice.

Must have done something bad - probably that remark about the Meta thread complaining about the Lounge being like kudzu.

They really are scab picking over there.

Just one. I can't think what I did to piss anyone off unless it was someone sick of Sarah Palin posts during the 2008 election. If so. I sincerely apologize. If it was something else, I really don't give a care.
