Please note: Members can ignore anyone in the forums, including MFP Staff and Moderators. Please proceed with caution when ignoring mods and staff. If you are participating in a discussion and a moderator posts that if particular behavior continues and you ignore that mod and continue that behavior, you will still be subject to a warning. Mods will not be responsible for knowing (this is confidential) who is ignoring them. Likewise, please do not call out or share the list of people you are ignoring; this will be considered an attack.
