because some people are assholes and it's better not to deal with them at all. Let's say I call you're house all the time just to fuck with you. Are you saying eventually you won't put me on call block? Why? even if that means I let it ring 25 times in a row then call you right back and let it ring 25 times again? Of course not you are going to put me on call block ie IGNORE.
I'd never put a thread on ignore just assholes. face if if I was bother you and even if you and I start talking about you wife and children and saying real nasty things you are just going to "glance" over that? Even if you put me on normal ignore and someone quotes me you are going to see it. I know this and I know eventually if I keep up you will respond. This extension means you won't see my ranting and thus I lose because I would be wasting my time and looking like a fool after the 100th time posting crap and no responses from the people I'm trying to piss off.
there also the issue some certain people who either post basically entire novels for posts and the people that quote them and add very little in their own post. Some of us hate scrolling and scrolling.
Though they don't take up much space, "fifty" and "100" posts are stupid. If that's all someone is going to write there's no harm ignoring that.
