Completely ignore threads started by users on your ignore list

[watershed]

Hi, I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but so far i've looked hard and couldn't find a solution for this problem. When a user chooses to ignore another, all of his messages are ignored but threads started still appear. This means that if a user puts some provocative comments in his thread title they will still be visible, which makes the whole ignore system quite problematic.

I've received several complaints about this issue so it's quite important for me to find a solution or workaround for this.

Would appreciate any help, thanks :)

Not sure if this will help you, the user can ignore a certain forum

maybe a code change may help you with the mod

That just ignores the threads in the new thread listing. Not on the main board. I have this installed. For users that post on the board just using the What's New tab this is a great as on.

What vBulletin PHP page are you on where it shows?

This is something that has been around as long as I can remember, it is in JIRA, http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-15465

You must be logged in to vB.com to view the issue.

Thanks @ozzy47, good to know. :)

Yeah but, it has been there for two years, and is marked as a Improvement request, and is set to minor priority.

IMO it should be at least marked as a bug, since ignore is not ignoring, meaning the system is flawed.

I also would not hold my breath for this to get added.

If someone writes anything in the thread title inappropriate, and we suspect this is going to be an ongoing problem, we just "elevate" them to a nice safe moderated level.

The problem goes away pretty quickly. :)
