I don’t think so, but have always thought that would be a great idea. That sure would be a great way to uncluttered things!

There should be a way to group flag something. Tho, in other instances bot farms have ruined that. But if there were a certain percentage of the active board flagging a topic, it would just be trashed. Seems like an easy enough threshold to put up because they know how many active posters there are.

I always thought that when you foe someone you should be able to foe any thread they start. That would go a long way to fixing this place.

Very fair question. It is difficult for someone whom has a naturally optimistic outlook and although frustrated many times by a given source still gives the benefit of doubt regarding that there may be some worthwhile information in the dialogue.

Great question, and one that I've been wondering about myself. Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you! But man I wish I did :lol:

If the moderators would do their job then this wouldn't be an issue.

The mods are the problem

They create topics that I would like to ignore

I add the trolls to the foe list and then never click on any thread they start.

Now if all would stop quoting them in replies I'd never see them at all.

Although that doesn't really address the issue of being able to hide a thread.

On mobile, you can't see thread starter. Unfortunately.

It is really simple. If people on this board just not respond to obvious trolling ( at this point we all can recognize that) , even the trolls will get tired. They do not care about about your response they just feed off that fact they get a click/response. I am guilty of on occasion not following this rule just like anybody else. The problem with ignore is that on occasionally trolls here will offer valid contributions. It's getting sucked into insipid, repetitive threads that just has really degraded this forum. Same boring shticks generated by the same people. Anyway my two cents.
