Ignore User
Is this version, like when you upgraded the last time, going to have an option that allows for blocking posts by certain users?
I previously thought this feature would never be desired by me. However, recently things have begun to change and there are a couple people that I'd rather not even read posts by and ignoring the posts would be difficult based on the quantity made.

Not planning on bringing this feature back. It's a HUGE resource hog and even though the new forum is dealing with load better we still do have a pretty sharp peak in load on Mon & Tues that puts the server to the test

Thanks for the answer Geoff; I'll learn to live with it.

No, I'm pretty sure I'd like to ensure you guys see my 3.23 posts a day. Being annoyed by certain posters is part of the DVDTalk experience and I honestly think something intangible would be lost if there was an ignore feature.

don't see any point in enabling ignore. out of the thousands of members i doubt even a hundred would use it. is it worth it just for that small percentage? if keeping the ignore feature un-enabled saves even a small amount of drain (and speeds access to the sight even marginally) then i don't think it's needed.

If this is true, then PLEASE bring back this feature Geoff. There are a handful of members who I would love to be able to block again. And I think that's true for most members. If you can ban people you can't stand, it makes it less likely that you'll lose your temper oversomething they post and get in a flame war.
