Yes, even moderators....


The concept is simple; If certain members don't contribute much to the forum in your opinion, or you'd just like to make your day a little easier by excluding users' posts from your reading material, go ahead and add them to your ignore list.
View the user's profile
Add to Ignore List
Go about your business

You will still see threads started by the Ignored user, but the first post will be ommitted.

Edit your Ignored List here: http://www.bogley.com/forum/profile.php?do=ignorelist

Here are some screenshots

Click the username

Add to Ignore List
43901


43904




You can add/remove users from your list here as well, this would be easier than clicking on a bunch of usernames.
(and yes, these are just SAMPLE names, not implying anything)

I think you guys should take a 2nd look at this. When I want to ignore someone, I don't care when they post or what they post. I don't want to see a huge white bar alerting me that someone I don't care about or would rather not see has created activity and I really don't want to see their useless threads. This feels more like a mute function, you can see they are there but can't hear what they are saying. A true ignore function should remove them from existence. Facebook has a great ignore function, make it like that.

Can somebody tell me what Deathcricket said? I'm ignoring him.

:haha:

jk

I'm looking for a way to just remove any sign that the user posted, it's not included in the default stuff so I'll keep looking around for a way to get that done.

It must not be working if some of you guys are still seeing my posts :haha:

Hey so you guys will have to post screenshots here if you're having problems, I'm not ignoring anybody so this will be outta sight outta mind. I assume nothing will be done about quotes from ignored users, so you're not going to have zero exposure, but it's the best that can be done.

Besides, if we could block the quoted posts too, you'd be wondering WTH another user was talking about as it would seem out of context.

EDIT: And if this starts slowing down the site or screwing something else up that we haven't anticipated, we'll have to yank it back again until we find a better solution. But I think this will work.

Being able to ignore people who are moderators was a much needed feature. Thank you!

I can see where quoting the person to which you are replying will become more and more important.

If I see a reduction in laughter at my posts, I'll assume more people are ignoring me and this feature will be disabled.

Because I'm that funny.
