Ignore List

Manage your ignore list to hide messages and actions from specific users.

The Ignore List lets you hide messages from specific users without moderator intervention. Ignored users are not notified — filtering happens entirely on your side.

Accessing the Ignore List

Press Ctrl+Shift+G, go to Tools > Ignore List, or open the Address Book (Ctrl+Shift+A) and switch to the Control tab.

Features

Per-Type Filtering: Ignore all content, or just messages, PMs, actions, notices, or invites.
Timed Ignores: Set a duration (e.g., 5m, 2h, 1d) — the ignore automatically expires.
Dialog Management: View, add, and remove ignores from the visual dialog.
Context Menu: Right-click a nickname to quickly Ignore or Unignore.
Persistence: Registered users' ignore lists are saved across sessions.

Filtering Rules

User-authored content (messages, PMs, /me actions, notices, and invites) is hidden. System messages (joins, parts, kicks) from ignored users remain visible to maintain channel context.
