I'd go to threads see that the person I ignored had posted (and it said it was hidden) and end up clicking on the link so I could see what was said this time. Just couldn't help myself.

Ended up unignoring that person.

Damn my curiosity.

know how you feel - I've done it already today ;)

or
an option that identifies bullies and kicks them in the butt as soon as they type 'learn2search' or 'learn2play'

thanks for the tip - I'll now be able to visit more often without having to deal with self important windbags :)

I know what your getting at, but as a side note, there are 2 types of deletion in use here. Soft, and NukedFromOrbitGTFO. Soft delete is when you see a thread in the forums that shows it's been deleted, that is a recoverable thread. You can also see a reason WHY it was deleted if the mod put one. Most threads that actually have content are soft deleted in case (someone who can) someone wants to venture into the thread and clean it, otherwise, it pretty much rots if nothing of real value was there. NukeFromOrbitGTFO is stuff that is permanently deleted, and is unrecoverable because it's actually removed from the database. Normal circumstances the only thing that gets NukeFromOrbitGTFO is spam or OP requested (because something was screwed up, or didn't meant to post) post / thread deletion.

Now we need an "Ignore thread" feature so that useless threads don't show up in the "Today's Posts" results.

Would prefer the option to not even see the message that they have posted anything.
Also, does not block quoted stuff (can see why this would be harder).

But still good, ty, have been using it for last few weeks.

No, the data is already loaded and the functions that step through the data are already running, so the only thing that can be done is is the block you see.

For quoted data, yeah, I think it would just be too much overhead to re parse everything per page load for specific users.
