I admit I do come up with imaginary situations, cause somewhere else years ago i was told by a moderator to ignore another member, I followed that instruction but admin's pet member didn't do what the moderator said, and kept posting on my threads and kept coming into chat there when I was in there, then would say my username and try to get me to respond to her, really being blatant about doing so, and if i obeyed the moderator instruction, admin pet member ran to the admin complaining that she wasn't feeling welcome in the chat - so all of us in chat would get screamed at, if i reminded her that we had to ignore each other i would get punished for interacting with her, i could not "win" either way - she NEVER got punished for disobeying that instruction, even when she was literally going "willowtigger i'm trying to talk to you" etc and post in my threads, etc
its why i'm this worried about forced ignore, in case if i got forced ignore with any member here and the other member was to literally make posts of "willowtigger i'm trying to talk with you, respond to me" type of posts, that other place i was the one to keep getting punished, she never did simply cause she was admin's pet member - it seemed it was one rule for her, another rule for me
here though, if its a force ignore between two members, is it two-way or one-way? I mean:
Member A asks admin for a force ignore against member B
Then Member A keeps trying to get Member B into a trouble by blatantly posting to say "member B respond to my posts" etc - being obvious about doing so
Here, would Member A be allowed to do that, and Member B gets punished if they do respond (one way force ignore)
Or would Member A get into a trouble for doing that? (two way force ignore)
The admin on that forum i mentioned was a screamer, she wouldn't actually discuss the problem with any of us members, she would send a furious message pretty much screaming at us, i know i'm a bad member i dont need screamer admin screaming at me that i'm a terrible person and a bad member and anything else admin decide they want to say i am
edit: oh and the other way of getting round force ignore that i got taught by admin pet member on the other forum, was get member C involved and be like "can you pass a message on this is member A I need you, member C, to pass a message to member B for me" kinda thing (assuming member C does not know about the forced ignore between member A and member B)
common sense tells me that getting member C involved, passing messages on, would not be allowed but i need stuff in black and white cause my brain does not "do" grey areas too well
