    Well if its not ok to ask for a forum feature, i'll not be around long enough for anyone to miss me while i'm gone...

    It's fine to ask for something. I've been around here for years (mostly lurking until a couple of years back), so I've seen that "asks" aren't generally provided. The thing is, I don't know if what you're asking is available in the forum software, because Vanilla is.... um.... not the best out there, and I haven't used it for over a decade. For good and sufficient reasons.

    As I said, phpBB is a far more robust option. But I have no idea why ZOS chooses not to use it.

    Isn't Vanilla a package deal? Vanilla provides the forum software, they host it, and they maintain it. All ZOS does is provide a certain level of customization and moderators?

    I don't know. I used Vanilla as a private entity many years back. I have no experience of it in a corporate environment. If that's what this is....

    Regardless, the "ignore" feature we have now is the only one. I've searched the Addons for Vanilla Forums and there's unfortunately no other Ignore/Block feature. I believe IPB forums has an application that does truly 'block' a user - hiding everything so it's not even viewable. Shame Vanilla doesn't (seemingly) have something like that.

    Oh, IPB. Yes, they do have that feature - have had for a long time (I'd forgotten about that forum backend by now). Now, since I'm only using phpBB on my own "game friends forever" forum I don't know if phpBB has that sort of mega-block setup because I won't need it.

    Now @ClowdyAllDay - actually @ZOS_Kevin is looking into something with Vanilla as a follow on from an "ask" - the ability to differentiate between devs and mods by the type of icon displayed. I don't know if he's got any later info from Vanilla, but some "asks" do get looked into.
