no it is not trolling when other members make new threads when they find a thread that they are interested in but cant post in it because the started of the thread has them on ignore...

the ignore list is a self care feature that is so that members can take care of their own triggers but does not prevent members from having full access to the site. it is not meant for preventing members from posting on topics and posts that they want to.

think of it like in real life.... you and a friend are standing there and notice across the room a discussion with out you is taking place on a topic that you are interested in and want to take part in but you and the people over there dont get along or have different views. you dont want to be around that other person so what do you do... you start a discussion on the same topic with those you do want to talk with. its not trolling that other group of people and its not stalking. you are just carrying on a discussion about the same topic.

well the ignore feature is like that.. it doesnt prevent members from having full access to the site but yet allows those who are having a triggering day to protect their self from being exposed to their triggers. it is perfectly acceptable for members to start new threads on other discussions and explain why they are starting a second thread, even though there is one discussion going on "over there" across the room.

just like in real life someone may say hey did you hear that... over there they are talking about ......, instead of going over there lets talk about it over here I think .....

in other words psych central follows real life sometimes
