Sorry, XXXX is a ScubaBoard Administrator, Advisor or Moderator and you are not allowed to ignore him or her. XXXX may also be a Forum Host. Please contact the ScubaBoard Support Team for assistance.

Took a look and the person in question is a "forum host" for a regional sub-board that I couldn't care less about. IMO that position shouldn't preclude a user from ignoring them in other boards.

Can this please be changed?

Thanks
 
I agree. I tried to put a forum host on 'ignore' and was only able to do so with special permission. Is it possible to include sponsors, too, please?

You can't ignore a sponsor??? I have a funny feeling several people have me on ignore.....
 
afaik it's a default setting board-wide and not user selectable by group type.

[-]I think I can override it for specific individuals in your account profile.

PM with who you would like to ignore and we can try it.[/-]

After testing it turns out that I can't for forum hosts as they are considered part of the staff.

Just to clear it up, I was able to ignore you (and then remove you from the ignore list).
ScubaSteve must be special then. :wink: I just tried it again with another sponsor and I got the can't ignore message.

It's possible to ignore anyone.

See.

Check ScubaBoard - Who's Who on SB? and make sure that person isn't on the list. There are an ungodly number of forum hosts. There is no sane reason why we should have to see their posts outside of that board if we don't want to.

Anyone else love the irony of someone working hard to go out of their way to proactively ignore someone?
