Description JR 2009-12-03 18:33:59 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The Kopete notification you receive on incoming messages has two buttons; View or Ignore. This is on a system with an English language setting, obviously.

In an IM context, "Ignore" means putting the other part of the messaging conversation on a block list. As a user, I was unsure if clicking Ignore would stop Kopete from showing notifications from that user from that moment on, as in "Ignore notifications of messages (from this user) forever".

To avoid this, I always viewed the messages and then minimized them, so I wouldn't opt-out of ever getting the notifications again. Eventually I tried it (after great deliberation), and found out it had more a dismiss functionality, but to a new user it isn't obvious.

I would propose "dismiss" or "close", but "ignore" conflicts with the block list kind of ignore (eg. IRC /ignore) and strikes me as confusing.
