Hi Ren,
Just to be sure, here is how to have posters on ignore.
Click on top left, 'Go' then on drop down menu click 'Personal Zone' then 'Ignore List'.
Once there click 'add users'. Type in search the ID (s) you want to add. The ID or ID's with similar name will come up. Check next to the ID in that little box and then click ' add selected member (s).
You will then have a box of the people who you want to ignore. close window.
Now the problem you may have is that you will still see their ID name on the threads, but not the detailed post.
The only time you will see their post is if they start a thread. Other than that you should not see any posts by those ID's.
If you want to see what the ignored ID is posting, on the other side of the post should be 'Show Post' click on that. You then also click on 'Hide Post' once read. Not that you would want to anyway.
The problem with ILW is that it IS NOT moderated.
At one point it was moderated for a short time but Sam who is the owner and supposed moderator doesn't have the time and he doesn't really care what happens here.
As long as there is traffic and people posting, all good for him.
Many people have complained, spoken to him and he always says he will fix things and have it moderated again, either by him or by other people, but he is always one to say things but never follow through. (unfortunately)
There is nothing anyone can do, we just have to put up with the racism, trolling, abusing, bashing of immigrants, and of course those that are only here for pure fun of it and taking out their anger on new members.
If you or anyone would like to take it further and complain direct to Sam Udani of ILW, please PM me and I will give you his phone number, otherwise it is out there online somewhere.
Emailing him or the admin gets nowhere. There is a huge backlog that he still needs to go through.
He told me himself that he doesn't mind members calling him, so feel free to do so.
I personally think the more that do call him, he will take more notice and finally do something

There are a few known members here that most people try to ignore, but it is the new members unfortunately that are not so aware.
Let's all try and do our best to make them feel welcome and help them out and not let the few bad ones chase them off

Nice to see you around again Ren
