What Makes You Ignore Threads?

Lots of things:
-Repeat threads -- If I've already stated my opinion, why should I need to state it again?
-Flame/ troll threads -- Just, no.
-Lack of discussion threads -- Why bother trying to form discussion in threads where the OP can't be bothered to make any effort towards discussion?
-Threads I'm not interested in (this actually covers a lot of threads nowadays) -- Just why should I?
-List threads -- Not much discussion used in these.
-Threads without much or any detail in the OP- Should be obvious why I ignore these.
-Topics I know nothing or little about as well (why I don't appear much in Gaming Discussion) -- Once again, just why?
There are probably others, but I have can't think of any more currently. Anything that basically isn't what I said people should do in this post [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.147426#3391551], I don't like and will probably ignore unless I deem it report worthy.
EDIT: In case anyone was wondering, back in my days of large posting I didn't have all those standards and would just post anywhere I wanted to. My standards have since increased.

The irony of this post made me chuckle.Russian_Assassin said:
I stay away from the myriad of religion topics; religious people who can't keep their beliefs to themselves annoy me. So, too, do those loud mouth non-religious types who find it just as hard to keep their opinion to themselves.
World Of Warcraft, I tend to ignore them as well as threads of highly logical standing since I do not wish to interrupt their highly intellectual conversations.
Loaded questions. There is absolutely no point in a thread where the op has not only completely made his mind up about everything but is also attempting to close down any relevant dissenting opinions before they have even been posted.
Anything tl;dr, especially when I'm tired. Or something uninteresting, or anything that I can't post a useful reply either through my ignorance or if I have nothing new to add.
Most of the time I usually read through and put my two cents in, though, like this thread here.

I'm about to start ignoring threads that have gun ownership, Israel and war as subjects.
Mostly because when someone gives a good, rational explanation to a statement, it's largely ignored by people who don't want to view the subject rationally.
The gun ownership threads are seriously starting to make my head hurt. It's like people in Britain or other high gun-control countries don't take time to understand cultural differences between countries before accusing other open gun-control countries of being extreme. Seriously, do people not actually read or study anything they talk about anymore?

When I don't have anything to say on the topic, really. If it's something I don't really give a crap about, there's no point in posting "I don't care." Also,
I don't want to be the person that posts the semi-irrelevant, not-well-thought out answer and bugs everyone else.TheNumber1Zero said:

Sometimes, I just can't get outraged over copyright law.

This, kinda. I'm also becoming wary of Final Fantasy 7 threads. Or Final Fantasy threads in general. A lot of them turn out to be "why do people think it's so great?" Same for Halo.Desaari said:
the threads that does the following:
Statement:
Discuss
.... then OP whines when about free speech when people say, "That's a ____. What's is there to discuss?"
