Ignore Ability

<div class="IPBDescription">in the forums</div> After browsing the Ideas and Suggestions forums, I have come to the conclusion that if the forums had an ignore feature, I would be using it. Posts/replies by a unnamed party require more effort to read than I intend to apply and serve as an annoyance more than anything. With this in mind, is it possible to do this in the forums? Perhaps in place of the post/reply there could be a default "ignored" message (to maintain continuity with the rest of the replies) that says something like "This post by "username" has be ignored. To view this post, please <u>click here</u> or remove "username" from your ignore list." Is this possible at all?

    Of course it's possible. It's quite simple too. I've done a system just like it for a forum that I was working on, that blocks PMs, posts, and it won't show the user's info either if you don't want it to.

    However, I doubt it would be much use here since these forums are so well moderated.

    You used to be able to do it. I ignored someone by accident once. I had a quick look for it there and I could not find it. If you go to "My Controls" at the top of the screen there will be a menu down the left that says "PM Buddies/Block List". That <i>might</i> block the users posts but I can't be sure.

    Or...you can just, oh I don't know, <u>ignore</u> posts by the person. Yes, you can choose what you read.

    Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with just using the nice little scroll button on the mouse.

    Yes, I can and do choose what I read, but that wasn't the point of my post. I was just curious if such an ignore feature could be implimented or not.
    The PM Buddies/Block List option only blocks PMs (apparently, I haven't gotten any, but I don't expect any either) and not posts.
