I notice that the forum doesn't have an ignore feature. That's a pretty standard forum feature and can cut down on drama and user discomfort significantly.
Any chance one could be implemented?

The phpBB version we're using is pretty dane-brammaged, making implementing one a non-trivial exercise, so a while back I wrote a Greasemonkey user-script to do the job; the mark-up changes I implemented since then will probably have broken it. I could always dust that one off again.

I think that would really be appreciated, Mr. Tines.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.
Apophenia. Noun. The tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.
They called me the Quentin Tarantino of hentai.
The difference between a blow-up doll and a dakimakura.

Also, a report button would be a appreciated too.
The other forum I'm at has this feature, it's useful against trolls.

I go to another forum that uses the same software(?) as this one and has a perfectly functional ignore feature. It can't be that hard, can it?

Read Tines' post. It's hard for a reason.

You're either really bad at interpreting jokes or really good at pretending you are and I have no idea which.-Monk Ed
WAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!(<-link to lunacy)...Taste me, if you can bear it. (Warning: Language NSFW)
The main point of idiocy is for the smart to have their lulz. Without human idiocy, trolling would not exist, and that's uncool, since a large part of my entertainment consists of mocking the absurdity and dumbassery of the world, especially the Internet.-MaggotMaster

And I've been too distracted by real life to have done anything to fix the user script.

Even if it were possible to apply patches to implement such functionality, the only one available being http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/789 for phpbb2. We still couldn't do it because, believe it or not, eventhough that mod is long long unsupported, it requires a phpbb2 version that's higher than what we run.

OK -- updated to hide posts/quoted text and PMs (presence on forum hiding not yet fixed).

Should "just work" on Chrome and Opera; Firefox needs the Greasemonkey extension.

I've been greatly enjoying the ignore feature, but I've discovered one weakness: it doesn't remove the blocked user's posts from the "Topic Review" scroll that appears when you reply or quote. Any chance of a fix?

Should be do-able, but needs some time and concentration, so probably not this week from me. Anyone else who wants to submit a pull request is welcome.
