Two (related) suggestions for future forum features

[#1]

Being able to "block out" posts from some members would be a neat trick. 
Being able to "ignore" threads which one has no interest in / cannot contribute to in a meaningful way would provide a tidier list of what is of interest, one could contribute to.

An official comment from PN staff regarding the principle of 'ignore' would be nice, but I won't be holding my breath

Just as well I didn't hold my breath - one month on from posting the initial feature request, no comment from PN at all.  Not even a 'Nice idea, we'll think about it'...

Sorry, missed this thread!
For me if you don't want to read a thread, or posts from a certain post then just don't read them. We can certainly look at whether it's a worthwhile addition to the forum but there are backend things I'd want us to fix first really. Next time we do some work on the add-ons I'll raise the idea of this, if it doesn't work we can turn it off again.

I'd like to get us onto V2, or possible different forum software with more features. We'll consider this sort of thing then.

Thanks Chris & Kelly

The new forums allows you to ignore a poster
