So, there's an assumption here that an user ignoing someone would work against them. As in, the moderation assumes it knows better what I'm supposed to read than I do. Ehm, no, unreadable for everyone. There would be repeat posts, people talking/posting past one another, probably passive-aggressive bullshit once a poster realizes they were ignored, and on top of all of that - if everyone simply ignores a shit user instead of reporting them, then that makes the job of moderators harder and the amount of shit posts that slip through the cracks greater.
No board with an ignore function I've used has run into the issues you mentioned. I can see why they could occur from a hypothetical point of view, but in reality, people repeating the same thing someone had already said is a norm on TL as it is.
And if someone can't be civil about being ignored, isn't that a sign they should be banned or ignored anyway?
On a side note, I think this has strived too far into off-topic and will likely be advised to be buried in website feedback.

I just envisage this happening really.

Yes if its not already reported. Then they will eventually get warned/banned too. Why assume that there is nothing going on behind the scenes? Just because you don't have access to their mod logs?
But they often dont get warned/banned which is why i made the post in the first place...

To be honest, "ignore" button or not, threads are chaotic anyway. The same points are repeated endlessly without including any new argument that might have come in between (that are themselves often repeated endlessly, you should get the idea), people don't care, rinse, repeat.
The last three pages of this thread is a good example of this.

Reporting people for being shitty posters, balance whining, going on Serral-related tangents and so on feels very risky sadly. I've been sticking to reporting adbots to maintain my report stats:

Not that it matters, but it's an aesthetics thing.

It's also worth noting that we used No Action before Other Action was added.

How bad your results have to be to lose your reporting privileges?

Zlefin bad. Reporting most everybody for a while will do the trick.

Zlefin's exactly why I asked, haha. I'm curious how high was his "no action taken" percentage.

He didn't actually report very many posts. But he treated it as a "this poster disagrees with me" button.

its amazing how persistent some pbus can be, i actually would rather have baskerville/fluidrone back than them.

What is "other action taken"?

It varies. It is intended to mean the report warranted mods do something, such as move a thread, discuss an issue with a user informally without using the warning system, combine two threads together, or something else.

ZigguratOfMesomerica was just banned by Seeker.
That account was created on 2020-01-07 02:05:02 and had 3 posts.
Reason: What are you? A ZigguratOfUr wannabe or something?
