Does anyone use this functionality anywhere?
Not for Hexus, but another forum where I post has a user whose opinions are so stupid it burnssss and is fond of personal attacks. I'd like to hide his posts to stop them distracting me, however that forum doesn't seem set up to do this. Is there a greasemonkey script or similar method that I can use? I'm not so technical and f I google for instructions on how to do this I get a million results for specific forums.
Also, I'm interested in people's opinions on the whole idea. Am I wrong to write-off anything someone might ever say? I don't like the idea really. However I tend to think of forums as being like babbling conversations in a pub or similar, I'm sure we've all been in pubs where we'd mute people if we could. On balance it seems a more polite way of stopping their annoying behaviour without resorting to intimidation and violence, if that functionality exists in an electronic pub why not use it? Not sure of the etiquette though. Instructions would be appreciated too
Edit: it's a phpBB forum, not sure of the release number if that makes any difference to the technical side.
