Ignore list feature request

[ericc]

We have the ignore list, which is great. Would it be too much to ask to expand its function just a bit?

When someone is on my ignore list, I would like the option to ignore any threads initiated by that person. This should be configurable since some folks may want to see such threads.

Let's please not get into side topics of "who are you ignoring" or "why are you ignoring people, that's rude". The ignore list (or kill file for us oldies) has been around in many forms for many years and it has its uses. I'd just like to see some added functionality.

Thanks

That's quite an easy change, and I just implemented it. It will hide all threads started by users on your ignore list from the thread listing (and search results), but it will not prevent them from appearing in the "latest post" column on the forum index or on the site homepage. If you do by some change stumble into a blocked thread, you'll see a nice explanation message.

Making this configurable would be very difficult since it would require the addition of new database rows.

Enjoy!
