Would love an IGNORE THREAD option.

brecklundin · 10-09-2009, 03:37 AM

From time to time there crops up a thread that is just so beyond the pale (to me obviously not those who keep the droning on and on and on and on...) that just seeing it on top of the list is annoying. Sure would love to have a list of "Ignored Threads" similar to Ignored Users...

I would like to second that. Also, might be nice if you didn't have to go to User CP to add someone to ignore list...

I'd also like an option to ignore threads with more than, say a hundred messages.

I'd love an option to ignore individual posters...

That option already exists:

(The above will take you to your own "Ignore list", where you can add in usernames of those whose words you do not wish to see)

I find options to ignore individual users far too passive-aggressive for my tastes.

I very vigorously, and actively ignore certain users!

That, and the astute use of voodoo dolls.

P.S. if you (and you know who you are!) are reading this and feel a sharp pain in your right leg, I am sorry. But you should have not posted what you did.

I would like an ignore thread option too please. The news and commentary forum has more commentary than news and it would be great to exclude certain threads from my new posts list.

That is one of the reasons I thought of the ability to exclude threads I just am tired of seeing. Perhaps another co-option should be the complete move all "commentary" about ebooks and words for this and words for that or whatever, out of the NEWS section and into it's own forum. So end up with NEWS Forum and a Commentary section since some of these commentary threads are getting pretty over the top and downright contentious as well as the same topics over and over and over again...

I would too love an ignore thread option. Nothing personal, but some threads just keep going on and on and on without any new information being delivered.

I have changed my position. I now would LOVE an "ignore thread" option.

Furthermore, I believe the act of bumping your own thread by continually responding to it yourself should be known as "blooming" the thread.

No reason, I just think it rolls easily off the tongue.

News & Commentary should be dealt with. I thought originally it was news and commetary on that news. But it seems to be a general mess these days.
