I post sporadically on these boards, but I visit almost every day.
abill_uk..... I think you have made useful contributions. I think it's your british wit that doesn't translate to print very well (like the quote above) I've had had differences of opinion with other members like ysss and pradabada, I usually make an incredibly intelligent and inciteful post or two and then let the fellow members sort it out. Sometimes I feel like I want to have an "IM" type discussion on the forum but that's when I realize that maybe I should cool off and wait a while before responding....... or take it to PM.
I know there are no winners on the forums or the internet.
I've been a moderator on various forums and every time you apply rules, the inbox lights up! It isn't all praise, you can never make everyone happy.
It's not all about you, me, ysss or anybody. It's not about right or wrong, it's the internet for crying out loud!
It's about the journey, kinda like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, you have to enjoy the good stuff, avoid the bad stuff and brush your teeth regularly.
Pretty existential huh?

Think bigger: Total Disappearance. And as a quick example of the reach, imagine if Good Member A were to quote Troll Member T from Good Member B's troll list. If so configured, Good Member A could see that his post AND ITS TIMESTAMP were ignored by another member. And, if Good Member A chose to do so, they could could investigate further, but only as far as their and other's privileges would allow.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the basic picture. It could be very powerful, very simple, and very configurable.

But that's the beautiful part, you wouldn't even have to, the budget would be in the council's proposal submitted to the bill-payer, Nokia. And of course the only losers here would be the attention whoring trolls.

Manual ignoring (of threads) sounds good. There's already a thread rating (those 5 stars) mechanism that may be used to semi-automate this option.
Yes, I'd like to contribute via donation too.
