Yes, they might not try again, on the other hand, they might. Do I think it's right to make a thread about that one person specifically? No, maybe not. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with putting someone on ignore if you don't wish to speak with them anymore. Personally I tend to reply to most messages with a certain amount of politeness, as it is a game, and it's not always the simplest thing to find the right one so to speak. But I appreciate the existance of the ignore function, and I don't judge people for using it.
And I wanna point out that if you're going into the more "unacceptable" areas like sexual harassment. You have to be prepared to get ignored sometimes. Cause even if it's a game, some people, like me, still think it's creepy when a stranger sexually harasses me through roleplay. And yes, I know some people like it, and I don't judge, I'm just saying that those of you who do like it, have to accept that there are those of us who don't.
Now, I also feel like I should point out that I don't think anyone's truly wrong in this situation. And the biggest problem with the ignore feature right now, is that it makes such a big show of someone getting ignored. They even get a message notification. Which makes it feel a lot more personal than it really is.
Or you just do the sensible thing and ignore them.
I consider putting someone on ignore a big deal, they would need to show clear malicious intent or just not know when to leave well enough alone, you are removing the ability to interact with someone ever again over something so basic, so yes I do consider obnoxious.
All the rest of the things you added about harassment and so on fine but your stating the obvious here.
Some of the threads of people who use female characters come across as a bit entitled, they expect there to be huge efforts to win you over when 9 times out of ten your going to be ignored regardless of effort, I won't complain about being ignored, I am not entitled to a reply, people may be doing other things but that's why you need to understand that your going to get basic or copy pasted replies until you show interest.
