Attn: Moderator, "Ignore Member" query ?

With the increased recent traffic on the bboard it can be rather time consuming catching up on threads if you are but a few hours behind.

There are a few posters of whose prodigous output I just skim over entirely without reading any of it. (doubtless some feel the same re: moi?)

Is there a technical way to enable an "ignore" feature which would block posts from those posters on one's personal 'blocked-list' from showing up? I know it's possible, for I have seen it in action on other bboards with quite similar software to this one.

I'm sure it would be a much-appreciated feature.

Does anybody second this motion?

Dupek, I think everybody has wished for that kind of "ignore button" from time to time. I don't know about this current board software version but it is certainly possible in theory. However, it doesn't work as well as you'd hope in real life. If someone's output is never worth a look, it's just as easy to never read their posts. The trouble is, most people post useless stuff only part of the time. So you find yourself turning their "ignore" flag off and on and off again bcause that's the only way to make sense of a thread sometimes. It ends up being more work than just gritting your teeth and hitting <page down>. Most people I correspond with on Yahoo (where "ignore" was introduced on the boards to great fanfare 2 or 3 years ago) have stopped using it.

If that were true you wouldnt feel the need to make asinine comments about individual groups, or races.

I think there is something wrong with you:

But couldn't one quite easilly get the gist of a particular thread by reading the "quoted" passages written by the blocked-list poster, as those parts aren't usually blocked by this type of program?

there is plenty wrong with me. and i hate you too.

but sometimes a comment fitts in with the subject being spoken of, or at least in my mind it does.
