So, I'm a bit late here.
@crocodilian is being made fun of for what I think is a silly suggestion, but instead of saying that he's retarded like everybody else, let's play devil's advocate for a minute and see where it leads us.
His main issue is with people who don't post as much and choose instead to rate him negatively, because they are "downvote bots". With that in mind...
I
think I can see where he's coming from. Based on looking at a handful of his posts,
@snailslime seems to typically negatively rate them. In some cases, it's just him, other times it's him and a few others. But the general appearance is that it's only him, and that's fair.
Now, let's consider the following: if he's disabled notifications for ratings, why would he choose to still care about a) specific users who have given him downvote stickers, and b) the fact that he's recieving downvote stickers in the first place? From the appearance of what he's saying, he simply doesn't want to see people negatively rate his own posts. This meaning that he doesn't want to know that somebody in particular doesn't like what he said. Because he thinks... what? That people should be able to form a hugbox where they only are able to recieve positive ratings? That people can't be adults and understand that your posts have consequences?
Your main reason for wanting this is because... "It would piss off gimmick accounts like
@snailslime, or people who negatively-rate and never post like @zedkissed60."
This logic doesn't make any sense. The way that the ignore function currently works, (if I'm guessing right, I don't
think I'm ignored by anybody?) is that it allows the person who you're ignoring to still see your posts, but you can't see theirs. It's not a "block", simply an "ignore". It's called that for a reason.
Now, if the person you're ignoring has their rating ignored by
you, that would still show up to literally everybody else except you. From their perspective, the rating is still showing up. Which is why this makes no sense. Unless...
If I'm reading into this correctly, what you actually want is "If I'm ignoring somebody, their ratings shouldn't be able to show up on my posts no matter who's viewing it". Which, while understandable, simply makes you look like a child who wants to only see postive happy points on your posts. I think you're just wording it poorly.
Sorry for the tl;dr, but I just wanted to try and respond to Mr. KKK Rool here in kind. You can give me the funny puzzle pieces now.
