Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't see the threads started by those on your ignor
I just wanted to point it out in case the Founder didn't know those on ignore, are still showing up when they start a thread.I was thinking it would be nice not to see any posts or threads started by such.
I put people on ignore when they continuously post a bunch of stupid crap. I think spam is more fun to read.
Got something to say?

SPAM &/or personal attacks - IT will continue on. IMHO there is a way to stop it - BUT it is at this point in time IMO a near IMPOSSIBILTY.
If you enjoy this "stuff", my condolences.
However, a little clarification is in order: When you click on "Discuss" from the main menu, then you only see the names in blue of those on ignore that have posted a new discussion item. I'd even like to see that much made invisible. However, the part you're speaking of is where you see the additional, older threads available to read, at the bottom and to the right side of the discussions. That too, should not be visible if those members are on ignore.
I actually like the blue markers. Brings a smile every time as I realize how much crap I avoided. Recent posts on right that include those on my ignore list only serve to reaffirm my original decision.
BTW, my criteria for inclusion on IGNORE:
Blatant advertising [rare these days].
Most common: If poster is a troll = "One who [repeatedly] posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument" SippyCup for instance.
Fairly rare but unfortunately becoming more frequent recently. Blatantly offensive content. Homophobic, racist, etc. I ALONE DECIDE what's offensive to me. I'm to old to play macho games by posting comments saying that I will read anything posted or how open-minded or accepting I am about what's posted. I read TUSCL for MY pleasure and info not as some test of manhood.
I agree Club_Goer, that should NOT be visible either. Unfortunately it is.
NOT likely Sir - NOT here. NOT with THINGS like Dougster & aliases & minions running amok.
If a full ignore was intact, I wouldn't have known that some mentally challenged members were clogging the board yesterday.
What is the plural of "Lotus"
Lotuses?
Loti?
I think blank space was the fastest I ever put someone on ignore. Nothing but empty space.
