But on another website i use u can click to ignore all posts by any user...
it's kinda like censorship... i don't use it often... but do you think it could add to this site?
i have to disagree, there reaches a point where you simply don't care what x user has posted ... also people ... often 2 users in an argument can hijack a thread masking its original purpose... the button on the other site is great for cleaning up threads where this happens ... u can always remove the block again once you've read the bits that were of interest...
I think it would do wonders ...esp for this section
