@nottelling it could have been an error. The ignore button is right next to the message button. Maybe it was a mistake.
I have one FB person who really annoys me. Reason? He changed his NAME on FB at the beginning of 2016. Is very willing to post stuff with his fake name. I find that annoying…he is restricted…
Coward!
Don’t leave, @nottelling! I appreciate you!
Oh, no @nottelling ! Don’t go away. Your posts are very insightful. (I can still see your posts… Glad I did not accidentally put you on ignore).
@nottelling -don’t go. I for one really appreciate your insight.
I first joined when my oldest was beginning to look at colleges back east. So many posters gave me great information on schools, directions, places to stay etc.
CC was here for me with kid 2 and kid 3. Kid 3 is still in school and will consider grad school.
I also find that CC and the parent cafe has been a great resource for appliance information, car advice and not to mention all the great travel advice I’ve received.
I also think my S has found a wonderful wedding venue that I first learned about from a longtime CC poster.
He will love the venue. Beautiful 
Wow, never knew there was an ignore feature. Have mostly only had positive experiences on CC and hope you’ll stay, @nottelling.
So is it okay to ask about posters who no longer post? (I don’t want to violate the Terms of Service – sorry, mods!) I was just wondering the other day about mini and emeraldkitty.
Oh, and I joined over 10 years ago – D is graduated, launched, and getting married. CC is useful for much more than college!
I don’t think there is any problem asking about people who aren’t around any more, or clarifying if someone is banned. Talking about why someone is banned would probably violate the TOS (discussing moderation), though.
I refer to this site (and the fb group that sprang from it) as “the college moms” (sorry dads), so my family knows what I’m referencing when I relate a story.
I tend to be serially monogamous with message boards, and I’ll slowly migrate from one to another as my interests change. Most of the boards I’ve participated on I’ve made irl friends from.
I don’t think I’ve put anyone on ignore here.
MODERATOR’S NOTE
It is not permissible to talk about other posters on threads they’re not on. I have deleted a number of posts. Please do not post these again.
Oh my gosh, I wonder if I’ve ever accidentally ignored someone. I am half blind without my reading glasses, and have never ignored anyone, even when people were awful. I would hate to think that someone would think I ignored them, I wonder if there is any way to check?
Edit to add, okay, I just figured out the way to check. Nobody on my ignore list, whew!!
So I looked at my Ignore List (you can find yours by clicking on your username in the upper right corner, then clicking on the orange Preferences button, then clicking on Ignore List on the left),
it says I have 0 of 25
I’m curious if anyone on here has “ignored” all 25 people allowed on their list?
The problem with “ignored” is that their posts are still there, but the text is blurred out. So of course, I want to see what they wrote and I un-ignore them. So I’m also 0 out of 25.
I have ignored a few people so that I don’t get banned. I’m bad about reading things (mostly political or digs at poor people) and not replying with super snarky comments. 
(No one on this thread is on my ignore list that I’ve seen.)
There’s also been a few spammers that have sent me messages that I’ll ignore because I’ve figured out that putting someone on ignore deletes their messages from your inbox.
I’ve had some people on ignore. some are no longer “on” CC. Right now, I don’t think I have anyone on ignore.
@STEM2017, you don’t have to un-ignore someone if you want to read their posts. Just click twice on the heading of their post (where it shows the day and time of the post) and the text of the post will be visible. It’s a lot more efficient than un-ignoring and then re-ignoring.
Thank you all for your thoughts. I laughed reading many of them. Ok, I’m not as strange as I feared.
When I quote you to my family and friends, I claim you are all bloggers.
“I read a blog by this lady who flips houses”. Or “I read a blog by someone who says we should all discard a bag a week”. Maybe I need to acknowledge my online friends as such.
My name is Dragonmom, and I am a CC addict.
“on the forum” precedes many comments
I am an addict
Came for HS 2013 thread. Had never even ventured to Parent Care until later. I love to read a lot of interesting threads.
I won’t be leaving.
My H and D and friends know that I am on a “blog” but they have no idea what website. I keep it that way because I want privacy to ask or comment on anything. If my H or D thought I was on a college website they would think I’m nuts. But many times I find myself telling my agent or my crew “my friends on the blog think we should do this…” How fun is that? I have friends helping me think through hard design decisions. I’m referring to the Flip This House threads
Lol, CB!! I was just telling our realtor about YOUR blog after looking at a listing that looked like a bad flip, “The blogger I follow would never do that kind of shoddy work!” Of course, I did not specify the URL.
