The ignore list is not meant to be 100% global to block out 100% interactions with another member. We simply don't have that capability.

What it does do is block the most obvious and frequent interactions, which tend to happen in posts and threads -- stopping you from seeing someone's posts who is on your ignore list. There is a huge exception to this that we are aware of but are unable to do much of anything about it: a user can see another person's posts/threads on Tapatalk app. The Tapatalk app is a third-party app we have no control over and unfortunately because of the additional programming we used to implement a better ignore list, it doesn't follow that programming.

Most infractions of someone's ignore list are generally innocent and not meant to violate another person's intentions. There's an old saying, "Never attribute to malice that which may be better explained by ignorance." Not saying it's true in 100% of the cases in our community, but it is more common than one might think (since how the ignore list works isn't necessarily straightforward).

If you're aware of a member violating your ignore list and you have reason to believe it is intentional, drop a PM to me or another administrator, and we will PM that member to clarify. What this means, however, is that other member will become aware that they are on your ignore list, because we will enforce a "mandatory ignore" that means that member is being directed by the community support team to no longer interact with you. Violations of this mandatory ignore order will result in a possible suspension of the person's account.
