Topic: Can we have Ignore option on topics, not boards, not users? - page 2. (Read 981 times)
I take ignore on user very important as long as i don't want to have anything to do with such, the one we can always avoid concerning topics is not to track the board or when we are not being tagged from the thread, I understand that some topics could be frustrating and annoying but one can also avoid posting on those threads, viewing a thread doesn't mean you liked it or nust reply a comment to it and if it's that bad then reporting such thread to the moderator for proper actions is very good.
I'd like to be able to ignore all threads with an all caps title. They always seem to be rubbish.
Yeah, same here.I never understood why people are making all caps titles, and it's even worse when they write full posts in same style.
Maybe this deserves to be reported to moderators and edited, or some people will never learn.
I am all for adding options to ignore topics, maybe PowerGlove can again perform some of his script magic for another forum update
Ignoring a topic does not make sense. There are hundreds of topic created everyday. None of it should bother you unless your notification for a specific topic is enabled.
A topic is a single entry which create many response. If you don't subscribe for notification then it's unnoticed
We ignore a users so that we can not see their topics, posts (multiple entry is closed by one ignore button)
A board / section is another single entry which consist of multiple topics. If someone don't want to see these multiple entry from a specific board/section the a button to press ignore also make sense.

This would be extremely helpful on the bitcoin discussion, B&H, Reputation, and local boards, where I believe we have too many duplicates and Elon Musk's pointless posts. It would help a lot if it was implemented, but it will be a long process. You will need to attach some SMF patch to convince theymos
Currently, Ignore is directly under a username. Report post to moderator, quote, reply are for a user post; and lock topic, move topic are for a specific topic.
The ignore thread button would better fiT close to the quote button in the Op for visibility or just a drop-button on the existing one.
If I may use this thread and chance to propose a feature, can we please move the ignore button somewhere else? On the right side of the post above "report to moderator" perhaps?
I disagree as it makes no sense. I guess the forum admins have very clear idea to differentiate between user and user post/ topic. Your request is just mix them up.Currently, Ignore is directly under a username. Report post to moderator, quote, reply are for a user post; and lock topic, move topic are for a specific topic.

It's actually a nice appraisal to start off with...
Ignoring a board filled with different topics might become a bit of a problem as you stand a Chance to miss topics that could be of interest to you -- I really see reasons to that.
I'll still say this is a good idea....why?? I mean, as days passby, the forum' becomes more and more arduous to navigate and the reasons are really obvious... Sometimes, I normally stumble on very interesting topics, on boards I wouldn't even wanna visit for some reasons i don't even know...

I think sometimes using Ignore on a whole board might result in missing of interesting stuffs.
I understand your point, but after years of being here I've found that there are many sections that I never visit, and because of the way I "browse" the forum (by checking on my unread threads feed) the most efficient way of avoiding all the crap I'm sure I don't want to see is to ignore a bunch of sections. If I tried to look for decent threads without ignoring any sections, all of the local ones would show up and all of those crap ANN threads would no doubt keep popping to the top of the list.That's just me, though. I think your idea is a good one, and in fact it'd be nice if there were a lot more customization features available here. I'm definitely no coder, but I can't imagine it would be hard to implement a lot of the good suggestions like this. Sadly that's rarely been the case for a long time now.
A very good (useful) proposal. Count me in.
I think technically it would not be much more complicated than read/unread marker.

Yes please!
It would allow me to delete the topics without actually deleting them. Similarly, an ignore post button as well.

I am surprised that this thread never got more attention, and no staff members said anything about the proposal.
Having an "ignore this thread" option can help in boards you don't ignore by default but there are loads of discussions there you aren't interested in. For example, I post in the gambling boards occasionally, but I don't care about the hundreds of ANN threads I see there from hundreds of casinos I have never used or will probably never use in the future. Sure, it's mostly one user = one casino, and ignoring that user would do the trick, but you get my point. Ignoring those that keep popping up at the top would allow me to see something that interest me more.

Or more "hidden" like on the user's profile page?
This proposal is more likely to be approved. It makes more sense.Lastly, one more convenience of current place of Ignore button is you can Ignore one user anytime if you see that user is quoted by some members and feel interesting.
If I unintentionally ignored a prominent member of a forum, would they be notified or informed about being ignored?
As someone who mostly access the forum through mobile device and touch screen rather than PC and mouse pointer, I can assure you that there's no feature to get notified... yet --I really hope tryninja didn't land on this thread and get the idea to add this feature on his notifier, LOL-- I accidentally pressed ignore button more often than I care to admit when I actually tried to click their trust score. And even if they get notified, prominent or not, you have the full right to put anyone you don't want to read their post on your ignore list.

There is no such notification when a member ignored another member and you don't have to worry that if you ignore a forum staff, there will be notification which can stimulate that staff to chase you and find your rule violation to ban you. Just kidding but it's an example. You are free to ignore any member, prominent or not.From your side, after ignore a user, you can click on UnIgnore anytime to resume normal view. However, there are two different things after you click on Ignore.
- You can not see posts of that user.
- You still see that user's posts which are quoted by other members who are not ignored by you.
I'd like to be able to ignore all threads with an all caps title. They always seem to be rubbish.
I agree. It's annoying and was described in

I think this is the best answer till now of your question, you can actually ignore thread what you don't want to see it. And I agree with you why it's needed, since around 2-3 month in this forum only focus discussing about corona virus only.
After commented on a thread complains on spam epidemic on the forum with Covid-19, Coronavirus keywords, I thought of this suggestion
- An Ignore topic preferences option
To be honest, the management are far possible to implement what you are just proposing. Ignoring can be initiative. One flaw to your proposal is that threads have no tags nor any unique word to somehow generalize certain topics as one. MAYBE, the forum added "tags" to somehow concatenate every same topics the threads contain.
I have thought of this a while back just because of all the repeating topics, and some that I am tired of seeing is well. This would be beneficial, but as long as it’s not yet implemented, it’s going to be manually done. Manually by just ignoring the familiar topic title. What I mean by manually is filtering it in my head and just skip over it lol. Anybody Does the same?
Can someone confirm whether this following userscript from 2016 still works: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ignore-threads-user-script-1451483? It apparently does exactly what tranthidung is asking for, but I can't make any use of it because I can't install addons on my browser 
Yeah it's still work, I have do it myself
Ignore threads
After installing, you don't ignore any thread yet. You can can ignore them with a simple + button next to the title in a thread overview (new posts, forum, etc.) You can also unignore them with a - button. This actually doesn't remove a thread from the overview, it just applies the same style as a "Moved" thread. This way you can still see them and reply if it happens to be an interesting thread, but they are easily separated from the "quality threads" that you didn't ignore. There is also an extra link "Ignored threads" where you can edit the whole list (although Chrome has some issue if the list is too big.)

Here the forum preview if you using that's userscript (still same from 2016)
All you need is,
1. Download the script here
Install my user script by clicking this link: https://github.com/NLNicoo/itob/raw/master/itob.user.js (you can check the source too)
After you download and used the script, you will have new button named "Ignored Threads" on your main menu
When you click the "Ignored Threads" button, you will encounter a popup on your top screen
You can add my listed corona virus threads in that's popup or you can also customize your own ignored threads. You will have add more new threads yourself.

I'd like such a feature, but in my case to get rid of the many drama-threads. I can remove them from my Watchlist, but every time I open for instance Reputation, I see them again. It would be great if I can select which topics to make gray.
