1C Moderators cannot use the ignore list, all postings must be available for them to read.
Being able to use the ignore list is "indeed a joyful thing".
Anyone, that doesn't use the ignore list is missing out on something very special. Being able to turn off discussions of people you wouldn't waste the time of day to hear one sentence from their mouth at any time has got to be a "treat".
Use the ignore list, you'll probably have some better days.
It has other advantages as well. It is very annoying to attacker posters that direct their ill tempered ilk to you. It doesn't matter what they say or how they say it... your ignore list cuts them off.
