Hide threads containing a particular word or phrase

I would like to suggest a feature which allows you to automatically hide all threads containing a particular word or phrase. I know you can already hide a given topic or thread, but this could be much more useful.

It would allow people with PTSD to avoid certain triggers (eg by blocking words like "rape").

This could also be a nifty solution for those who want to read the feminism board but don't want to see any threads relating to trans issues. If this feature was available they could simply decide to hide all threads that referred to eg "trans" or "transwomen." This would be much better than trying to split the board into sex/gender and other issues (which IMO seems unworkable given the nature of the threads on FWR).

Would such a feature be possible?

Hi @YourSexNotGenderIsOnFire,

Thanks for suggesting this. We're always open to new ideas so we'll be passing this on for further discussion in the office.

We'll keep an eye on this thread too to see what the general consensus is.

Thanks again.
