Is there a way to flag a forum user so that i don't have to read his post/replies anymore?
(Ignore or something like that).

If so, how to do it?

Be warned, just adding them to your list prevents them from sending personal messages.
If you do not want to see their posts you have to edit it after you add them to the list.

3 settings:
Ignore Messages (default)
Ignore Sig
Ignore Posts

Thnx Shar Wolf!
You have my beans.


I really think people should use more this option.
It is better than a triple heat sink to avoid forum heat.

I avoid using the ignore list because, well, I don't usually have a temper problem on the forums. If you do, this list can be well worth while if you value your ability to continue to post.

I use it because there is a list of people that, until I used it - made it a point to attack every post I made outside the Off-Topic chunks. (and one whole guild/clan/group that attacked even there)

It was not so much that they made me angry, as none of their posts were in any way helpful or constructive - and thus it made it easier to read the forums after I ignored them.
I would suggest that you scan their post history before you ignore them, if that would be your reasoning for it though, as it could be they are having a bad day - and you do not want to miss it when they are helpful or constructive.

I would tell you who they are, the ones who made it a point just to mock whatever I posted (though there is at least one I should not have to - and he mocked even when I agreed with him ) but that would go into breaking the name and shame policy.
