Conversations between posters you like and posters you block wouldn't make any sense then. The ignore is a good compromise, you can still choose to read ignored posts to make sense of a thread.

Conversations between posters you like and posters you block wouldn't make any sense then. The ignore is a good compromise, you can still choose to read ignored posts to make sense of a thread.So, you can ignore what I put up (not see it at all) and I can't see what you post? And, if someone else quotes you/me, we can't see those at all?
Askaboutmoney is basically where hope goes to get audited.
It's like walking into a grey, windowless room full of middle-aged lads in high-viz jackets who will analyze your €12 Spotify subscription like you're bankrupting a nation.
The vibe is Irish Catholic guilt, but applied to money:
Bought a coffee? You're financially illiterate.
Thinking of buying a car? You're a fool who deserves high insurance premiums.
Haven’t maxed out your pension, your spouse's pension, and your dog's pension? Absolute disgrace.
As for the design? It looks like someone said, "what if we made Boards.ie, but even sadder?" It’s so outdated it should qualify for archaeological protection under Irish heritage laws.
Threads often start with a simple question like:
"Can I afford a holiday this year?"
And end with fifteen posters telling you you’re a reckless, self-sabotaging muppet unless you invest every spare cent into a government bond earning 1.4% APR.
Posting anything remotely optimistic about your finances is seen as bragging, and god help you if you mention cryptocurrencies — you'll be sentenced to 5 years of community service reading about diversified ETFs.
And yet — despite it all — if you squint past the bitterness, the boomer energy, and the 2005-era UI, you might just get the best financial advice you'll ever receive.
If it doesn’t break your spirit first.
Yes.So, you can ignore what I put up (not see it at all)
Only if you choose to ignore me.and I can't see what you post?
When you choose to ignore me then you won't see my posts including where others quote them.And, if someone else quotes you/me, we can't see those at all?
Why don't you just try it and it'll become clear?
As I've said elsewhere before, this is not at all my experience based on recent extensive use of it to tease out some financial and related issues. It has made mistakes at times and it's always necessary to double/sanity check what it gives back, but I've generally found it to be very useful and informative.Chat GPT is usually wrong on financial matters
But, yet again, there IS such an option already - the "Ignore" option.but I'd still be in favour of having the option if i choose to use it.
It's the other way around, you can choose to see the ignored person's posts. An ignored person can still see your posts.Would anyone care that a person they blocked couldn't make sense of a post.
As I said, that's pretty useless if you're blocking a nuisance.An ignored person can still see your posts.
So it's not wrong all the time thenI asked ChatGPT what it thought about this site
I once had to explain to their mortgage interest relief phone line how mortgage interest relief worked. In fairness to them, they did eventually come back to me to tell me I was right and to correct the relief.Revenue's own helplines can also mislead
If they had their own AI, trained on the relevant Acts, SIs and guidance notes there'd at least be chance of it being at least a little usefulAI is going to be a very valuable tool to any powerful institution who wishes to mislead the public
