..., but some forums have an ignore button so that you dont see posts by certain users.

I manage to ignore some users, and I don't need an ignore button for that.

In fact, an ignore button would not help. For every time Markuze posts, he has created a new login identity that would have evaded the ignore button.

Re: It's a option, especially for other forums

Now, that's annoying. I had prepared a reply. I clicked "Preview" - and everything that I had typed disappeared into the ether.

Second try:

If I were to be implementing an ignore feature at a forum, I think the thing should work (or at least have the option) to also block display of replies to the ignored author.

I agree. But that doesn't address the question.

My suggestion. Instead of the notation "Minnemooseus has not yet responded", the wording should be "Minnemooseus is ignoring this poster". That's for the case when the poster is on the ignore list.

Maybe a drop down list of all members that are ignoring the person?

That seems reasonable.

Note that if an ignore list is introduced, it is unlikely that I would use it.
