I tried putting myself on ignore, for the heck of it, but it kind of seemed a fairly reasonable request as well.

As expected, the software doesn't let one do that, but I found the error message peculiar:

"We can't help you ignore yourself."

...this seems customized [judges?]… customized or not, either the universe or the site admin has a skewed sense of humor.

Though I did find it a bit amusing.
