I agree with Lox and the others that the Killfiles should be private.
I know of one instance where the feature proved EXTREMELY helpful (in fact, it was the reason the feature was started in the first place)... and if the information got out about who killfiled who, serious consequences could arise. And I mean more serious than an Internet flame war.
PLEASE, keep them private. Leave the feature as is.

daisyfay,
As it currently stands - if you don't get a response to a PM, one of the following has happened:
- I've forgotten.
- I've down-prioritized you, and it's not your turn yet
- I'm ignoring you on purpose
I didn't need any killfiles for that...
It's called "self control"
- d.

Given that it ain't broken, I have no intention whatsoever of 'fixing' the lack of punitive features in the killfiles. Rest assured that I will probably get around to encrypting the entries in the database, however, since the only thing I believe killfile stats are useful for is as a counterweight to forum postings (eg. someone who starts a lot of flamewars, but is also killfiled by a lot of people as a result, isn't going to get the same 'points' recognition as someone who actually posts useful content... and that is precisely where aggregate statistics come in handy.)
Since Eric's traveling and I'm about the only person writing serious new code, this thread is less of a discussion than an evaluation:
I ain't gonna change how they work.
Thank you for your feedback, everyone. Now let's move on to 'discussing' points. See forthcoming (and sure-to-erupt in flames) points thread. I'm thinking that forum killfiles should be deployed right about when the upcoming points war begins to devolve apocalyptically, for maximum statistical veracity...

daisyfay,
It was a figure of speech..
As in - if you ever were to PM me, and didn't get an immediate response back, etc...

For the record, LOX is due one Sam Adams (or beer of lesser value if prefferred) - he correctly chose the term to match the idea I was trying to convey; AUTONECROMANIACS, or those that killfile themselves. I thought HOMO (self) would convey the same thing, but that shows my mastery of the Greek language! (Or english, for that matter)

Hishopper,
Trust me, you'll loose the arrogance competition here.
Now, go read my post on Page 4 - which in DETAIL explains what I was giving the Beer out for.
No, it was not for him figuring out what "AUTONECROMANIACS" meant.
It was for what my "*plonk*" meant.
Dumwit.

Is there a way I can tell if I have been Killfiled by someone?
I have not tried it on anyone so do not really know how it works.

No. You have no way of knowing if anyone has killfiled you.
