Scratch

Support.

I've never heard of anyone doing that (maybe everyone just likes me, that's why they don't do it  )... but I'll support anyway.

I've never used the Ignore List before but I support...

Support.

Maybe have 2 lists, one a "Subscription List", and one an actual "Friend List"?

Also, the title sounded like a Scratch script xD

This would be nice, but if you think about it, it would allow you to control their Friend List so I could just add everyone to my ignore list and then I would be taken off their list and then I could remove them all from the ignore list. It would be very annoying to do that to other Scratchers', rude and obnoxious. Any solution to that?

I like how twitter calls it "follow".
I "follow" someone because they post/make stuff I like.  It helps me track them, and I'm recommending them to others that see my profile.

"Friend" implies a mutual relationship based on what we think of each other as a person... and I think it complicates things.

If someone "follows" me, but I don't "follow" them back because they don't make stuff I like, it's not as big of an emotional slap in the face, as it might be with "friend."
And I don't think we would mind as much if an "enemy" is "following" us (and promoting us), than one claiming they're our "friend."

If someone is really my "friend", and we want everyone else to know, we can still comment and announce that we're "friends"... or make a project about our "friendship".

Twitter also lets you "block" the user, from following you.  Yeah, that may be helpful for Scratch whether we call it friend or follow.

I like that idea, mainly because many people add me to their friends list when I don't want to be "friends" with them.  I'm for example, a user called add_me_to_your_friends  added me as a friend.  I don't like that.  It's annoying.  however, if someone is kind, and not forceful like "add_me_to_your_friends", then usually I friend them back.

Me too.
BTW, I agree.
BTW, here's a similar one, maybe you'll want to add this there, or link.

I suggested that idea a while back, it's under review (see here). 

What I'm really talking about thought is real cut-off, however. Let's assume that my original idea for a separate Friend List and Watch List was implemented and that there is still the issue that you would appear on the Friend or Watch list of someone you put on the your Ignore list.

Since dA has that feature, I've have to admit that I've done that on dA in order to remove myself from the friend list of people I did not want to be on. I don't really see the logic of being called a friend when, in reality, that is clearly not the case and I've blocked that user.
