Thread blocking

I wonder, is it possible for me to block whole threads started by a particular person, or just their posts?

There's some really stupid stuff being posted of late.

The software allows you to block their individual posts only. You will still see their name when they reply to or start a topic, but all that will show up where their message would normally be is this:
Quote:
This person is on your Ignore List. To view this post click [here]
If you click on the link, a new window will pop up showing only the hidden post.

Threads started by people on your ignore list will still show up, but you won't be able to read their initial post, only the responses.

Wanna know more? Give it a try for yourself and see how you like it. You can always go back and remove the member's name from your ignore list.

Hope this helps!

-Dave

P.S. I wonder what would happen if I put myself on my own ignore list...

What´s the idea behind blocking ?

To me, it seems little like living with ear muffs all the time.
