Zorah, that's a good point!

The only thing that I can advise there is that if you know that a poster which you're ignoring is posting to a potentially triggering thread, the tread might have to be avoided altogether.

Nothing is going to be 100%. However, the best tools that the software has are available to members here.

You can advise your friend that you have ignored this member and that speaking of this person's posts can defeat the purpose of the ignore function for you. Or you could tell your friend that I will support you as I care, but I really can't discuss any issue with the ignored member right now because it's really triggering for me. Your friend will understand.

If you know that ignored member is posting alot to one thread, you might want to avoid the thread altogether, especially if you know that it might end up triggering, then tell your friends that. You do bring about a very good point, and one that's been brought up before.

It's something that we have a right to do in order to keep ourselves emotionally safe. Friends almost always understand too.

There have been days when I didn't feel emotionally safe and restricted my time here due to that at that particular hour of a day.

I hope that helps just a bit. Your point is valid, but there is no way that I see around it but checking inside to see what we should/shouldn't do when we see that someone we have on ignore has posted to a thread. Then, let those that are emotionally safe for you know what you're doing and they'll help you all they can, I'm sure.

I hope you're having a good nite?
