Ignore a forum member

astra · 07-05-2010, 05:48 AM

Do we have settings to ignore a forum member?

Thanks.

You can go to "user cp" and then use the option "edit ignored users" on the left...

cheers,

kaas

Yes, in your User CP, there's an option "Edit ignored users". It's above the "Edit ignored threads".

Now I want an "ignore threads that contain words"...

User CP > Edit Ignored Users

Type in the first few letters of the name, i.e. if you were to ignore me, you would type in Mo and a list will pop up with all those members who have Mo at the beginning of their name. Then click on the name.

Voila. Member ignored.

Yes. In control panel, select 'edit ignored users'. If you add someone there you won't see what they post (the text) - the actual post will still be there, just empty. If I make sense?

It does but I am disappointed. I hoped not to see not only the post but the user's details too, such as posts, karma, location etc.

Anyways, thanks for your help guys and gals.

Not exactly what you were after, but you can install a greasemonkey script that will automatically turn one word into another. Say, just for argument, you didn't like the words e-book reader and prefer the word 'liseuse', you would merely instruct the script to swap out one for the other. It's called Webvocab.

We tested that on a private forum, as it would be very easy to implement. Problem is, sometimes it is helpful to know that there is a post by someone that you are ignoring to understand the follow up posts.

Always open for suggestions.

That's what I thought... Maybe a small block "post by ignored user X" instead of the entire block?

greasemonkey script?

it's an add-on for Firefox (and others?). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/

Maybe leaving only username would be a compromise?
Although if I ignore somebody then I am not supposed to care what other members reply to.
Also, very often when you reply to someone's post, you quote the post. So, even though I ignore somebody I would still be able to see why another members said something.

I am sorry I am not into forums and scripts etc. I cannot suggest something useful in that regard.
