As above really. I've looked around, but not managed to find one. Does such a thing exist, or are there any plans for one?

We don't have that feature and afaik there is no plan to bring it in.

This question comes up a lot Nathan, suggesting that people consider it to be a desiarable feature. An explanation as to why it cannot be incorporated would be helpful.

Id also like a traffic light feature to identify people who I have identified as a bit of a cock (amber), and people who I should consider blocking (red), to utilise before ignoring them. hehe

Feel free to use but give me a credit.

How exactly would you foresee this function working?!

The ignore function? You just wouldn't have to see that user's posts, in fact, they wouldn't even appear in the thread, ideally.

What about if they were quoted by others whose posts you do want to see?

That's usually the exception in other forums. It's not perfect but a hell of a lot better.

It can get confusing, but it works 95% of the time.

That was going to be my comment - and surely the thread would be a bit disjointed?

Just don't read their posts.

It's not difficult.
