Please give us an "Ignore User" Feature!

Post by Alissa » April 4th, 2006, 1:25 pm

Dear Concept2 (Bill, Scott, Jon?),

Just in case you hadn't seen it under training, I thought I'd cross-post this thread (from the Training Forum) here.

As BobS. said, it really is getting to be "out of conTROLL." :shock: There are several users who seem to turn almost every thread into a discussion of their own personal obsessions. While each of us has our own levels of appreciation or tolerance of, and amusement with, such obsessive posts/posters, we are missing a crucial tool to allow each of us to manage our own use of the forum--the "ignore user" feature.

On the old forum, and now on the UK forum (which seems to be based on the same software as this one?), one can elect to "ignore" a user and simply read everything else. Even on threads where they post repeatedly, it can make those threads manageable and enjoyable again!

Can we have that ability here in this forum?

Thanks,

Alissa

And which user are you wanting to ignore? Let me guess!

I'd also like to get in line for that request.

Yes, that's the one I want to ignore too. I keep hoping the Troll will turn to stone when the sun rises but it hasn't happened yet.

Thank you in advance for a good ignore feature!

Ignore Trolls!

Please give us an ignore user function, it would be wonderful.
Ignore Trolls! Until we have an "Ignore User" function, just pretend the posts aren't there...

Yep...and all of his various psuedo-personas too! And you?

We have that PERfect feature on the UK forum. PERhaps we need that on here. It's amazing how his bipolar nature is exposed as soon as folks mention the word troll. He's clearly certifiable - if the medics can get to him.
