Begging other people to hit ignore too is kinda ineffective. But I appreciate the comment about Reddit being a circle jerk greatly. I'd rather have more noise than turn out like reddit. Sad

I would like to have more than a binary ignore option.
Instead of just hiding posts I would like the option for example to give certain users posts a different background color and a compressed presentation with less spaces and smaller fonts.

I would love another feature.
If I have X on Ignore , and Y quotes his post , the post would automatically be also hidden , even if I don't have Y on ignore too.
Uhoh, you are proposing taint tracking for posts on the forum Smiley

Doing that is kind of dumb...
I won't argue with that. I don't consider myself intelligent after all. But everything is better than letting it doing the paid troll...

Keep it real
Not only you are not ignoring people that annoy you but you feed them as well  Roll Eyes
I can either ignore them or reply to every single of their stupid posts to make them appear for what they are to the eyes of a newbie. That is why i would love this function.

Highlighting possible scams has a value for newbies but a crusade against stupid posts in the name of newbies is something that i haven't heard before  Lips sealed

Yes, by all means let's replace the 'Ignore' button with an 'Aggrandize cedivad' button!   Grin

How good would it be to have this last idiotic post of him semitransparent?

I don't understand why the fact that you ignore someone should affect the way i see him.

This. Completely this. Selecting who to read, who to trust, and who's opinion to consider relevant should all be personal decisions. The existence of DefaultTrust is bad enough already. Do we really DefaultIgnore or DefaultReadingList.

It's not enough for the OP to use his own Ignore button.  He needs to be validated by forcing everyone else to emulate his behavior because he's an insecure, immature child whose mother trained him to whinge incessantly.

Nevertheless, David's 'ZOMG iCEBREAKER WON'T STAWP POASTING AND IT HURTS MY FEELINGS AND I HATE HIS STUPID FACE AND OHMG I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!1111!!' rage-posts are comedy gold.   Grin

There are maybe 5 users in this forum with the level of ignores that Icebreaker has. I think that this feature should apply only to such users. It could be applied manually, if needed.

I think in some extreme cases users who have like 100s of ignores should probably literally be ignored by the forum. If somebody is here to just blatantly troll and cause annoyance then they should be essentially 'banned', and this would be a great automatic way to do it. Would be quite amusing if a troll was just posting away to himself and nobody could see his comments.

After all i don't think that anyone wants the forum to become like the circlejerk that /r/bitcoin is lately.

Totally agree with you,some of those yellow-colored ignore buttons need that. And if the person doesn't want to read. The reader can skip it easily. Though ignore button is doing a good job.

Add to the fact that some people on here just love to state publicly about all the people they put on their ignore list. A good majority of the time they get put on the ignore list for merely having a different opinion.

I like the feature that you can see which people are ignored a lot.
This is comparable with user ratings on sites such as reddit, and prevents responding to known trolls.


Well, some ignored users are troll. Other ignored users point out things that seems to be scams and explain why. The ignore button makes a useful indicator that something is going on with that user, but you still have to make your own judgment on why they were ignored.
