How do Hidden Comments work?

I’ve just tried this for myself, and trying to Ignore a user on a test user’s preferences changed my preferences instead.

I’m pretty sure that’s not how it’s supposed to work. I think it might be a bug.

Steps:

  • As Admin, go to User A’s Preferences/Users page
  • Under ‘Ignored’ click Add, and enter User B in the modal (plus a timeframe)
  • Save changes

  • Refresh page - no user is ignored in User A’s preferences
  • However, User B’s posts are now hidden for the Admin
