Wiz, we know you’re pushing for it and if it doesn’t happen, no one should blame you. ‘Kill’ filters have been around since at least the NNTP news group days, so obviously some people find them useful. I suppose they do give the members a bit more ‘power’ in some sense so that may be a philosophical issue – who knows.

IMO, listing who ignored you is a bad idea. We want to discourage petty infighting, not give people another excuse for grudges. Once before, I suggested an (anonymous) tally of ‘ignores.’ That could be an educational tool. Ideally, you’d get a tally by thread or even by post, so you could see that calling Vickie a drug addled trollop was hugely unpopular. I wouldn’t push for anything that sophisticated though. The report button and a basic ignore function would hopefully be more feasible.
