Hiding specific posters...again!

Sorry to bring this up again, I know it's been requested many times.

But in the light of the recent upheaval I've seen a few people reiterate that it would be something they'd benefit from so wondered if the stance may have altered at all.

I understand the thing about threads maybe not making total sense without certain posts but surely that's for the individual to cope with, if they have chosen to ignore someone...also I've seen it on a lot of other forums and it seems to work, I'm not sure how.

It isn't so much the odd post here and there on a thread, anyway...that's fine, I can ignore that. But if someone is really prolific and starts many threads per day, it would be such a relief not to see these all the time in Active threads.

I'd be grateful for an update as to whether you might be considering this option, somewhere on the back burner.

Thanks.

is there not an ignore facility on here then? I'm a relatively new poster(came here from BMC) and haven't felt the need to use ignore yet so wouldnt know. Do think it's a lttle strange to not have one though - if that is the case, most forums I use have an ignore facility.

It wouldn't/couldn't work at all. And would lead to massive fall out.

is it me you are wanting to screen out? I have started a lot of threads over the past few days

might it be a good idea to talk to the person you have the problem with? Just a thought.

I am anti hiding particular posters, personally. I find the idea a bit abhorrent.
