    I'm fairly certain you ignoring people means you cant see them but they can see you.

    Otherwise I could, for example, ignore you and then run about telling everyone how you post contradictory nonsense and have lots of puppet accounts to back you up! Itd be sad if you couldnt see what I was saying.
    Thanks. Then he clearly needs to put me on his ignore list or as he keeps telling me to move on and ignore what he doesn't like.

    I too have the fool on my ignore list

    Unlike Andy, he posts his tripe across a number of MSE forums so is somewhat harder to avoid.

    Well I think if you put someone on ignore you cannot see what they type and they cannot see what you type unless someone copies your post and then the ignored person can see it?

    But actually just because you have ignored one poster they could pop up with one of their other names and read your post.

    Like I said, confusing.

    Ignoring all the rubbish which is currently being spouted in this thread, if somebody has an entitlement to a non Income Related benefit there is no reason for them not claim it irrespective of what other money they have.

    Agree. Very difficult to ignore all the rubbish though isn't it when genuine posters are asking for help and are being ill advised.

    Goes without saying though that uncalled for posts will creep in.

    I am so sick of all this.

    Trying to help posters is becoming so difficult.

    Threads are being derailed and misinformation being given.

    Please can the board guide swiftly close threads once the poster has all the information they need?

    I agree 100% it would seem to be the answer to the "problems" this forum has atm.
    I hope you don't mind me starting with this one.:eek::
