Ignore List

[Zed0X]

Seeing how some boards are being bombarded by users promoting only their website, I decided to try the Ignore List. I added one user to the list and had the "Hide messages posted by members on my ignore list" on my profile checked but I can still see the post of that user I wanted to ignore.

In the edit/ignore list section, I can see the note "This area allows you to maintain your buddy and ignore lists for this forum. Adding members to these lists will, amongst other things, help control mail and PM traffic, depending on your preferences." How does it actually work?
