The Ethics of Two Way Ignore

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

You can go into your settings and say which tags you don't want to see. I don't see Pathfinder threads, for instance, since I have very little interest in it.

Not quite the same as a thread-level ignore feature, but if there are topics you just don't care about, you do have the tools to pre-emptively zap a lot of them. (And the more tags that get added, the more robust that feature becomes.)

I like the firehose-of-everything that is the “latest posts” feed. I’m potentially interested in anything from any of the subforums, and any tag.

It’s just the occasional thread that I want to specifically kill - and thus far, ignoring the first poster of that thread is the only method I’ve found to accomplish that. And I feel a little bad about using it on a specific user.

The capability of ignoring threads would be quite useful, I agree.

Yep, I'd be ignoring all of those survivor threads. I guess I already do, but imagine how much easier it would be to click on a thread, select "ignore thread", and then never have to worry about it ever again.

I have inquired on this, I dont think its an option.

Yeah, probably not. It'd be a nice to have but it's not really a must have feature.

Lots of things would be useful. But we aren't in a position to implement and maintain much in the way of functionality that isn't core to Xenforo.
