Personally, I assume everybody that doesn't put a
,, or on my posts must have me on ignore, because how else would they not be compelled to do so.
I don't have anyone on ignore. I rarely have someone I get so fed up with that I have to do that to. It has happened elsewhere on rare occasion. I figure hey, even a broken clock is still right twice a day, so maybe the guy might have something useful to say every once in a while

I only have a couple of people on ignore.
They have to be obnoxiously annoying to get on there.
And they are usually gone or banned before very long.
Because everyone is ignoring them, or they go off the deep end on someone.
But I agree that the forum is working very well as it is.
Most people seem to enjoy being here.
We are all guilty of drifting off topic (myself a lot), it's the normal evolution of a conversation. But it only takes a simple reminder from one of us (in the conversation) to get the rest of us back on track.
If it gets out of hand, it can be reported.
I have personally picked up a lot of unexpected information from off topic conversations.

No idea.
Your dream is becoming reality
It's actually turned out more than reality... with the new "moderate your own thread" feature, I just spotted a load of "delete" buttons on this thread, because I started it....
Heck, it looks like I can even delete @Will Prowse's posts in this thread... though I don't think I'll make it to 3000 posts on this forum if I try that trick

I thought my post count went down, now I know why.

Catch, make or grow everything you can.
The intent - keep threads on topic
The method - how about a reaction that is like a gentle "stay-on-topic-please" or "return to topic" - but without deleting the post altogether.
some creative graphic designer type can build a suitable icon for it.
Return to topic emoji ??
Or the OP for the thread can click a 'return to topic' reaction and the post changes from dark to half tone...readable but not as clear...
other ideas?

Build more, learn more.
It was already added to the arsenal. I gave you an example off-topic reaction to your post.
