Block/Ignore feature?

[So Whimsy]

Hello there, I love prowling the forums a few times a month, though have done so a lot more lately, who knows, maybe I'll return to actually posting regularly.

Anyways, I've become rather annoyed with a frequent forum poster, is there any way I can ignore/block this user so none of their posts or threads show up? I've never had the need for such a feature in a forum before, but honestly, it's getting ridiculous and scrolling past their many posts in a row (postcount++ ftw?) is even more annoying.

If there is no such feature (if there is, please point me to it I have yet to find it!) can this please be implemented? Would sit well as a button next to the 'Follow' button.

Hover over the name of the user and you will see an ignore user option at the bottom

Hover over their name and you will see an 'ignore user' option, like this -

Click it, and it will take you to another page where you can choose what you want to ignore from that user, then click 'update preferences' -

One note - it will only not show you direct posts by the person.  If anyone quotes the person, you'll still see those posts (or at least I think I read that here someone)

Is it  just me pondering who this  block worthy poster might be?

Thank you kindly everyone, I did not even notice you could hover over someone's icon to get more options! Glad it's there, I shall now go back to happily prowling^^

Its easy to guess.
Even though, that wouldnt be a trigger for me to block someone. And i like the pictures attached to the posts.

You do still see the quoted writings. I have one forumite blocked, so I know these things

You also see when the person has posted in a thread, but it's not in your face. It's just a line or two saying something like, "You have chosen to ignore..." where the post would normally be.

A little late but yes I like this. Had to as hoping it blocks their pointless copy pasting of vids. First is nice and fun. Reposting is so many dead bandwidth beasts.
