I recently added a site to my ignore list (the site is technically safe, the but the company has a lousy corporate image, so it's rated red). Since the site is now ignored, I noticed my WOT icon is grey (and the text says 'ratings are not available').
I'm wondering if anyone has suggested that maybe a different color icon (blue?) could be used to distinguish ignored sites from sites which don't yet have enough ratings? I know there's also a question mark in the upper left quadrant of the icon for unknown sites, but that is not that easy to see. A totally different color would more clearly distinguish ignored sites from unknown sites.
Or even better (but harder to do) would be a 2-color icon. 1/2 blue (for the ignore) and 1/2 the normal website's color (so you're reminded about the site's WOT status). Or maybe keep the site's original color, but put a diagonal slash through the icon to show that it's being ignored (though that may end up looking too much like NoScript's icon!).
Personally, even for sites I consider safe, I don't mind the WOT icon color being red (in fact, that would still be useful), but having the fullscreen warning show up the first time I visit the site, and then have the 'top strip' WOT warning appear every time I navigate through the domain is what caused me to add the site to my ignore list in the first place. I just feel that now that I am ignoring the site, I no longer have any WOT information about the site (which would still be helpful to remind me that this site is still considered unsafe by some people, and I may want to rethink my settings from time to time).
