So the person who ignored you, for whatever reason, can't pm you and vise versa....nor can they see a reply to your posts even if you reply directly, right?

Then why am I receiving PMs from a member I know has me on their ignore list? Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose?

Also, I know they can reply to me if they log out and view the thread, then log back in and compose a reply to the entire thread, but that seams like a lot of work to me not to mention makes no sense. If you have someone on ignore, isn't the whole purpose of it to cease communication to and from said person, thus "ignoring" them completely? Just about the only thing I can't seem to do is being able to reply to their threads they've started.

Why would anyone use a feature to prevent me from talking directly to them, but then go around and talk directly to me? It's all very confusing and I seriously don't need more confusion right now. I have plenty on my plate to deal with.
