Maybe I wasn't clear.

Some users get annoyed at other users posts and want to filter them out. I don't want to “globally” ban any users, but individual users on the site want to “ignore button” other users on the site. I've seen it as a feature on other forum software .. so lets say I don't like poster yyy because I think he is really rude, I can selectively ignore him although the rest of the site still sees his posts.

Thanks for the help and info!

sorry, no… there is no way for a user to filter other users from the posts they see…  not really something anyone has ever asked for before…

Thanks for the info! (Pretty sure vB does it?) Our forums discuss politics from time to time so it would be a great feature

opened a ticket for future consideration… vB is a lot bigger than two guys! 😉

I think a ignore-button would be a great feature. 

a lot of forum-users asked me for this.

OK…. what does it do?

UserA can click the ignore-button (extra button in posting) to filter UserB. And then all postings of UserB will be filtered for UserA.

A lot of other Board-Software use this feature.

Ok – thought that was probably it.
Already on the dev list somewhere.

I have quite a few users requesting this feature as well.

its on the list – no eta…

I'm thinking of having a YoVenice donation drive for simple press to make this a feature? It seems like a lot of people stop posting in my forum as the result of not liking some of the posts by others. (Pretty much just the politics threads!) I'd like to keep the forums as “free speech” as possible, so only an ignore button could make this happen rather than global moderation of posts.

Anyway, if I ask them all to donate money to make this happen, is it something that could happen software-wise or do you think it is a feature that is unbuildable? I'd hate to ask all my readers to donate and then have it not happen, as they would be unhappy with me. If we all donate and it happens, they will be happy they helped build better software! Let me know if it is “do-able” and I will start it off with giving you $195, the cost of a vbulletin license. I'd rather support you guys than switch … but I do have some upset forum readers and I need to figure out a solution. An ignore button coupled with light moderation should make for a happy online forum for me! 

Oh, and if they donate a lot, maybe fix embedding from flickr after that 😉 ? See how it ends up all funny with the text pushed to the side?

If simple-press had an easy to click “ignore” button and if the flickr embedding looked good, this software would be close to perfect for me!

All the best,

it's not really a matter of feature-desire or money. It is more a matter of timing. We have certain commitments and plans and the major feature list for any new version is fixed quite a long way before we even start coding.

We can talk it over here but fitting something like this in might not be so easy.
