That's correct. So if you were to quote someone who's on my Ignore List, then that person's post becomes visible to me via the quote. Of course, I personally keep scrolling down as soon as I see the name of a person I've blocked and elect not to read it anyway.

But the issue that Trev's raising is that when a user is blocked here the blockee isn't notified. So say if I were to block you from your end nothing looks different. It's up to the blockee to notice that someone has stopped responding to your posts and realise that they've been blocked or otherwise ignored by the user. I think what Trev's suggesting is whether or not we can make the board's Ignore function more similar to Facebook. And I can see the merit of this suggestion because it means that people who make attention-seeking provocative posts would immediately realise that their audience is dwindling, thus reducing their motivation to make such attention-seeking posts. It's like isolating the naughty attention-seeking child - once they realise that they have no audience then the behaviour ceases.
