There is no good reason it doesn’t work like this already, and it’s a serious oversight in design. Let us hide threads we know are filled with garbage we don’t want to see.
i kinda wanna know now who has me on silence
i mean - in our heads - we probably all think we're charming people with lots of good stuff to share - but, in reality - no doubt my voice must grate on some...
we need an elephant...
I love it. I've learned the pictures of the posters with nothing to contribute for the most part. I will say some posters I enjoy reading have the same forum avatar as those I ignore, so I'm pretty sure I ignore them by mistake sometimes, but you can usually tell by the topic, too.
it sounds crazy, but, it's not that hard to be oblivious for a long time to our own nature, behavior and mannerisms...
I was in my late 20's before I became aware that there were folks out there whom didn't like me...
in my head I thought I was a nice person who was easy to get along with - truth is, i'm from new york so there are times when I can be pretty loud and arrogant...
at the time I was hosting a darts tournament in my office...i was curious why some folks in the company didn't want to particpate...
I found out by talking to others that some of those folks just didn't like me...
it kind of threw my world upside down for a bit...it was a very good lesson though that I learned a bunch from...
sometimes we may not know ourselves until we can see ourselves through the eyes of others...
@DanteYoda I Googled unsuccessfully so I'll just ask you; how do I hide threads? I didn't know we had that function and now I need it, and I'm grateful you mentioned it.
Have to agree with the OP though, it would be a lot easier if using the Ignore function would just do that automatically for us. I'm pretty sure that if someone is enough of a d-bag for me to Ignore them, I'm never going to want to read anything they type ever again, even a subject header.
