• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

I already have this thread on Ignore -

And last I looked, doing this Unwatched the thread too. The button says Watch Thread. But I'm still getting Likes from the post. So is this a bug, unintentional since Likes and Alerts are separate features, or should I just edit the post at the end to say

I am still getting alerts. I would like to be able to completely ignore the existence of this story.
Thank you.

Or something.

Thank you.
 
AIUI,, the ignore thread function is fairly basic in implementation and only really hides the ignored thread from the forum list

Feel like this might provoke contrarians into Liking anyway, even when they otherwise wouldn't have. You could always delete your posts in that thread, or edit them so they only say something like '-snip-'.

I can't, constructive criticism is its own point. :(

Ah well. Might as well just turn off Likes entirely.
