is it so difficult to follow a discussion.
And why are you handing out free sex changes?

btw, when you (moderators) look @ a thread, your IDs don't show on the list but you still add up to the number of ppl viewing as members.
(And some people can see invisible people.)

requesting member ignore list uids x post "quoted user" uids (mostly 1, rarely >= 2, often 0)
And of the three major steps of normal forum usage, these small, simple comparisons would only be needed in steps two and three.
Some server-side functions that would need modifying:
- Add, change or delete a post
- Request a list of unread threads
- Request a thread

well, that leaves the outbox to be added...
BTW: what are you afraid off, that you don't want to show your ID?

i'd see a tensor / 3rd dimension (10 posts per page)?

what if your feature has such a success that everybody starts adding 1/2 a dozen ppl to his/her ignore list...
- user opens forum page
- for all the authors of posts on that page, check normal ignore list
- for all posts with quote, check if quoted author is on ignore list
- like i put on the 1st quote now, i removed the ID part thus you are not identified as author any more but it's still your post, isn't it?
- my main problem, i still don't understand what more / else you intend to implement, thus...
- simply don't display a post quoting an listed author?
- what if a post quotes several posts from different authors?

like i said, not clear to me what your feature will achieve, thus tricky to asses the impacts. which is a no-no in terms of development. no offence.
