Lack of interest *Can be ignored* permission? So we can make moderators un-ignorable.

[Stuart Wright]

Could we have a permission Can be ignored set to on by default please?
So that we can turn it off for moderators?
We don't want members being able to ignore moderators.
Please upvote this suggestion.
Thanks

Moderators can't be ignored in the core software.

Do you have an add-on which allows that?

 

[Harpers Tate]

Forgive me - but it was my understanding that it is accounts marked as "Staff Members" who can't be ignored; not Moderators as such.

Yes, the logic was changed recently so that it is tied to the 'display as staff' function.

Are you saying you want to be able to uncheck that for moderators but members still can't ignore them?

I too don't use the 'Display as staff' function because we've got our own badge setup.

Correct. And there may be other usergroups who admin would like not to be ignored.
And there are reasons why it’s not desirable to display moderators as staff. Like maintaining a separation between volunteer members and paid employees. For legal or internal political reasons.
Makes more sense to tie being unignorable to usergroups or even specific members using the standard permissions system than such a specific setting as display as staff.

Im a bit lost. Is there a way to allow a user to ignore admins and moderators.

 

[Paul B]

Yes, by unchecking display as staff.

I agree this should be a permission.

I commissioned an addon to do this
