Question The Purpose and Implications on Using the Profile Buttons

[RandyB]

When opening a member’s profile, along the bottom of that window are 3 buttons: Follow, Ignore, Start Conversation.
I will start with some assumptions and please correct, add, edit these naive guesses.

Follow. Clicking on this member’s follow button means I would get a notification on every content that this particular member posts?

Ignore. By clicking on ignore, all content from this user is no longer visible to me?

Start Conversation. This is the start of a private communication between that member and myself.

I believe you are correct sir. I did a check on the XenForo forum (this site uses XenForo) and here is the answer on follow:

What exactly does following someone do?

A moderator on my forum asked this today: Just wondering, what does Following people actually change? I mean I follow quite a few people, but nothing in the way of notifications seems to change? I thought when I followed someone I'd get their status updates and stuff like that. Sort of like...
