+### Except specific methods
+
+If you want to ignore some specific methods, you can do it by specifing method names. Note that this option does not care for the context, and will ignore every method with these names, which could lead to it missing some cases. You should use this sparingly.
+e.g. `[ { ignoredMethodNames: ['specificMethod', 'whateverMethod'] } ]`
+
+```ts
+class Animal {
+  get specificMethod() {
+    console.log('No error because you specified this method on option');
+  }
+  get whateverMethod() {
+    console.log('No error because you specified this method on option');
+  }
+  public get otherMethod() {
+    console.log('This method comply with this rule');
+  }
+}
+```
+
 ## When Not To Use It
 
 If you think defaulting to public is a good default, then you should consider using the `no-public` setting. If you want to mix implicit and explicit public members then disable this rule.
