And in regard to Swamp's "Ignore post" thread above, if the "ignore" feature worked with this forum software, they would already have implemented it. Maybe the inability to implement the "ignore" function is one reason why OT forums will never work here, because it's impossible to selectively filter out the destructive malcontents.
Came here via an ebot so I haven't read that thread yet, but I will when I get to actually reading the forum.
They didn't used to have an EDIT function for many years despite it being asked for for a long time either and now they do so who knows. There is a difference between unable and unwilling to implement something.
I know an ignore feature wouldn't help a lot of people because curosity would get the better of them and they would end up "having" to know what that person was saying. I'm not that way personally. If I want to ignore someone for whatever reason then I have no desire to see what they say..why aggravate myself. I realize that probably isn't the "norm" for many forum readers though ;)
