Add a 'block user' button? That was there is no need to scroll past the offending waffle?
I appreciated the smile that went with your post but seriously that's not a great idea - just makes the forum "echo chambers" for those that can't stand an alternative view that they don't agree with - hardly makes for good discussion
The echo chamber effect is here anyway. You don't need an ignore button for that.

But they generally aren't much use because soon as an ignored post is quoted it becomes visible again.

The posters who contribute nothing and just play the "dick" card rely on people responding to them, so it's probably best to treat them like difficult 4 year olds and genuinely ignore them.
Be good if you followed your own advice............
You have a point.

But if I don't, the worst that happens is the four year olds get over excited.

They stay four years old though.

Good enough to follow or just one to ignore?

Being a four year old is not that bad....... Hell puberty isn't even on the radar
