Ignore lists: ignore threads started by a poster?
Recently I've had to use the ignore list function, but it's not really working in the way I would prefer.
Essentially: if I ignore someone I just don't want to see posts by them at all, rather than see that they'd posted but be reminded that I'd ignored them. Member in question seems to start a lot of threads largely based on the same idea, and I'm frankly bored. I'd prefer that when I add someone to my ignore list (and it's not something I use often) I just don't see their contribution to the site. Generally in my opinion they're basically trolling, so I'm not even interested in the responses of site members either.
Disclosure: I do not live under a bridge. Nor do I feel that the member in question shouldn't be able to express their thoughts if they so wish. I just feel that the ignore feature at present is largely toothless.

Either Steve or Jon is going to be the best person to field this one - I'm sure they'll be along shortly :)

I don't think that the vBulletin ignore function has ever been the most functional of tools, but I'm in the same boat as Dave... I'm no expert.

Similar thoughts Splash :)
If you have GreaseMonkey (and if not, it's just a small plugin): http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/88463 :)

Please, for the love of all that keeps my grey matter from spontaneously combusting with irritated frustration, give me this one ability!
And yes, we all know who we're talking about.

So with that plug in then the ignore function will behave in the way described? I'd just assumed it wasn't possible!
This is the only time I have ever used it lol.

It would probably only need a small SQL code tweek at the backend......
