2)I believe the ignore option should be a two way street. It is unfair, in my opinion, that when I place someone on ignore, that person can still read my posts and secretly, without my knowledge, continue to turn personal information about me into fodder for their own amusement, with the help of others (few, granted) to just joke about. I believe that to be just cruelty for cruelty's sake. Laughing about some ones personal struggles is mean. But no chat host has ever intervened in my experience. Making a complaint to a moderator is often useless and causes retaliation by the person you report. I feel afraid from how this site is set up.

when you find posts like this all you need to do is click on the report post icon (looks like a little triangle to the left of the post) then a page opens up where you can write the reason why you are reporting the post. then the you click on send report. it will be seen by a moderator who will check the post to see if it violates the rules and whether it needs to be deleted or edited to bring it in line with the rules.
the ignore option isnt meant to punish or prevent others from using the site. think of it this way...maybe someone comes on having a bad day and in one of your posts one word (lets for hypothetical reasons say its the word believe or your user name) triggers them so they place ...you... on ignore. would you want to be prevented from reading any posts just because someone else gets triggered by the fact that you use a word that triggers them or the username you chose triggers someone else, in essence it would be like punishing you for using the word believe or punishing you because of what your name is...see what I mean the ignore option is to protect the person being triggered and not prevent others from having full use of the site.
if you are concerned about any posts that are too personal /contains too much personal information you can contact a moderator and they can edit or remove the posts for you. for me anytime I have anything personal I dont want others on the internet to see, I do not post it. I write it on my journal or I private message/ or email those I want to know about that personal information. that way whats too personal for the whole world to see isnt placed on non private boards like psych central. where anyone in the whole world can read it, member or not.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
