it will tell us also how many folks are ignoring individuals, so we can see who is the most ignored poster.

I can ignore guys just fine on my own, and I think having certain posts disappear would take away from the continuity of the discussions in the threads, which is a much bigger issue to me than having to skim by Josey’s posts.

on this, though I kind of like the live and let embarrass yourself policy here.

to ignore comment threads that start with an ‘OT’ moniker. That to me is more annoying. A good baseball thread hijacked by celebrity gossip or some such.

having an ignore button.

Really though for functionality of this blog I’d much rather have an Un-Rec button than an ignore button.

I want to read Adam’s comments on the Rangers, and I want to ignore his comments on the Mavs and the fact that other sports have PED issues to so baseball shouldn’t bear the brunt of the criticism.

this will be fun if it happens

I don’t read the comments

Are people treating LSB like Playboy now and just coming here to look at the pretty pictures?

I don’t care who posts what. I’m not going to ignore even seeing someone’s posts just because they are trolls or morons. But I don’t see any reason why that shouldn’t be an option for other people. Its been said before here and in other threads, if you don’t use it, it doesn’t affect you at all. So why vote no so other people who want it can’t use it?

Now I can finally ignore that know-it-all Newberg.

Most of the time it works. It will not work on things that ‘grind my gears’, most notably fantasy baseball talk in the midst of actual baseball talk. But that cannot be solved by ignoring people, because many or most of those people also say things about real baseball that I want to read.

In other words, I don’t really give a shit. If trolls aren’t being fed, they will come up with other usernames until that one is broadly ignored, I suspect. But maybe not. Whatever.

Although the vast majority of people here would miss me and my 23 comments, I would ignore everyone and only have conversations with myself on here. That way this place would mirror my real life

There are so many here that they are not worth reading. I don’t have time to scan these 400+ threads where half the entries add nothing to the discussion. I’d much rather read a post from an articulate troll than the next twenty calling him out.

Some boards let the community rate the posters and then filter out the ones with low ratings.

But personally I would only use it on the rare cases like HH, steal home and Josey.

I can see how it could be abused by some, but if people want to either abuse it or not use it that’s their problem.

Not saying I would use it but i think its an option that needs to be there.
it shouldnt have to be up to moderators to sanitize things for everyone, let people decide for themselves who they want to ignore and who they dont.

Personally i just simply skip over posts i dont have interest in.

Would that entire thread be invisible?

Let’s burn some books, too.
