BBS Blocker
« on: May 27, 2012, 05:39:09 AM »
Is there a way to block certain names on the BBS so I don't have to read their incredibly insane postings?

Because I already have a couple.of BBS Stars to squelch.

The problem is they still show those that are on the list, they just change the post to "You are ignoring this user. Show me the post." with the show me the post as a link to open the post. I wish you could have the message blank all together. Many of these clowns will post thread after thread and not only do I want to ignore their posts I'm not really interested in seeing how the rest of the community trashes the OP. Like the "Notify" button I wish we had a better "Ignore Thread" button.

Thanks Lushe and you are right Fugitive, basically what I was wanting... If the OP is on ignore list then his post wont show up at all.

yup after all the stupidity with david wales a couple of months ago, lots of good players stopped posting.  it's like every time somebody starts doing something like these we keep losing people with good info who just say the hell with it.  really wish somebody would stop them before it turns into another davidwales.
