Default Is there a way to block new threads?
I've already got an annoying poster blocked, and I can't see their posts inside of a thread, but this clown litters the top page with a shit ton of useless threads. If I can block them out too, that'd be great.

TIA.

Christ, I'd make Rob wealthy if that were possible. I know we are one big family, and don't ban people, but there is a point when the pollution hurts the forum. Again, if a feature on the site allows everyone who chooses to ignore these ignoramus's existed, that would solve it, without banning them.

Nope, huge blindspot in the ignore feature that makes it pretty much useless.

Exactly. I also don't want to see an ignored douche's posts when it gets quoted by somebody else, too.

If people would stop replying to the trolls posts they will eventually get bored and move on to other pastures where they get the gratification they are seeking

So you have blocked UniqueDoug. Good for you, that's a start. Does your new thread view of fresh threads include threads created by him? Odds are...yes. Hence the impetus for this thread. And yes, he's one of the clowns who I'd prefer to never see a post from....there are a few more.

I have made a personal rule not to post in threads started by certain trolls or to respond to posts they make in other threads. I know I have been guilty of breaking my own rule at least once but I still try not to feed their egos

I'm looking for a solution to filter through their BS. When 50% of the threads on the top page are from the trolls, it makes it difficult to see the new, relevant, interesting threads.

I want the noise to go away if I choose to ignore a troll.

If I had the source code to vbulletin, I could make that happen in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I don't, and VB also is on an extremely antiquated version of vbulletin. Maybe a newer version would solve this?

Wait, we have relevant, interesting threads?
