Is it possible to have an 'IGNORE' feature for threads?

I have already asked mumsnet for this and they say they have no plans but I'd be interested to see if anyone else would appreciate an 'ignore' feature - like a reverse 'watch'. If you put an 'ignore' on a thread it wouldn't appear in your active convos.

Personally I would find this helpful after the huge number of distressing threads that can get very unpleasant.

Anyone else?

This is the reason I don't use Active Conversations. I go straight to Topics, and just click on the subjects that interest me. Which means I can ignore the headings I have no interest in, and don't have to wade through thread titles I don't want to be reading.

also mumsnet is so huge that it would be good to be able to filter it a bit more

If you can 'watch' then you should be able to 'ignore', IYKWIM

i usually only use the sleep and breast / bottle threads threads and curiousity gets the better of me for anything else but ti'd be happy with just those too in my last 50 conversations

if you can't resist temptation, maybe you just need to try a little harder!

I know lockets, but I think it would be nice just for a day to see nothing but 'which nappy' or 'whats for tea'?

Yep....I would quite fancy this....Some Topics upset me a lot and to just excule them would help.

Well sometimes the temptation is too much to be honest, and also it might tailor mumsnet a bit more to how you personally want to use it?

But if you don't want to look at them, don't click on them? Or is the temptation too much?!
