Teamsloan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Is there a way to go beyond the "ignore posts" feature to include a "ignore threads" feature? I can ignore individual posts on a thread from a particular user, but I still see the threads that the ignored user posts. They don't need to be blocked from the site (yet). But I would like to block them from my experience on the site. 🙂 If not, no worries. I just wanted to know if it was a possibility.

How about we create a new section/forum just for this particular user, where he can post his click bait/useless threads all day long and people can chose to visit his little world if desired. He can still reply to other's threads in the 'Mountain Biking Discussions' thread though. A good chunk of his threads only include himself anyway. win/win?

Teamsloan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm not sure we're talking about the same user, but that seems like a waste of server space. I just want to know if there's the option for me to conveniently avoid the distraction while still enjoying the rest of the site that I find valuable. If other users could benefit from that same ability, then it could be a very useful feature on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else could it be. 😉 I don't mean a whole new site, just another section under Mountain Biking. Mountain Biking Discussion, Ride Calls, MTB Destinations, RA's threads, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Singling out a specific user to get their own section devoted to themselves seems like a unique privilege that I'm not sure would be healthy for the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not going to happen, but feel free to report posts/topics you feel are "click bait/useless" and don't contribute positively to the site and I can evaluate them on an individual basis.

I had a hard fall off my bike when the rain jacket in my jersey pocket came out and got tangled in my wheel. It was a slow motion realization and wrangling-the-Bike moment before I opted for the soft wet grass rather than trying to save it and end up on the pavement or curb. So I think capes would definitely be dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if I couldn't see quotes from the ONE person I have ever ignored on any forum, ever! I wouldn't even know he was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I love this new feature, but I have a question: Are y'all still seeing each section marked as having unread items even though everything you see has been read? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a nice user interface for doing tihs, but I can certainly run a direct database query to sort topics by how any people are ignoring them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it seems that even if I've ignored a topic in a section and it gets new posts I won't see it but the forum section will show as unread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
