Ignore

[Sharkyman]

Just had a PM from a user saying that he has 2 users on ignore. They've been bickering for years and he didn't want to read their posts and they are usually having a go at him about his religion. However, when the other two get quoted he can read their posts in the reply and he would prefer not to.

Is there a way to ensure that he can ignore them completely? It's nothing too bad to merit a ban and he's just very passionate about his beliefs and doesn't want to read the crap these guys come out with but they target every thread he creates.

Help please.

With that thread title you may just get ignored. LOL
At any rate if you're in the US he can bring you and them in to court for violating his constitutional right to freedom of religion. Being harassed about your religious beliefs is against the law.
Regardless of your rules and policy the judge will tell you that you are ultimately the one to be held accountable for content and the actions of your members. So my suggestion is do something about them.
Joys of running a forum...

It would be nice if 'ignore' was smart enough to also ignore second and third party quotes. But it's complicated to do and I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Well, I took a shot at it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=268202

But it hasn't been tested beyond just seeing if it seems to work. In particular, I'm not sure what will happen anywhere except in showthread.php.

Well, I took a shot at it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=268202As described -"This mod hides quotes of users in your ignore list.", it's not at all what they're asking for. As I understand it, they want to hide quotes from second (and third and fourth) parties that even contain the text of what the ignored may have said.

Maybe you're just describing it wrong.

I probably didn't describe it very well. Or maybe I misunderstood. What it does is, if someone quotes a post that was made by someone in your ignore list, the text of that quote is hidden. Of course there is no magic way to block any text that comes from someone you are ignoring - it works by using the user name that is provided in the quote tag.

Maybe I did misunderstand because I'm not sure what you thought I meant. There's no point in blocking quotes in the posts of users your are ignoring since you can't see them anyway.
