I know one can put people on an "ignore" list, but

I wish there were a "to be disregarded" list. elad, might this feature be added? Members, is it there and I have missed it? I seriously have trouble remembering whom to take seriously.

(This was prompted by a thread I recently participated in that, upon reflection, was in response to what I regarded a particularly silly OP, although many of the replies provided interesting information.)

I want a way to keep track of people whose opinions I have reason not to take seriously, not those whose opinions differ from mine.

but I have never used Ignore until this campaign. Before I used it to put myself on a 24 hour ban from posting to someone who I was losing my temper with. This campaign has gotten so insane that I just decided to use it liberally. Those who post things that are flame bait go on that list. I don't have time to deal but am too curious to let those things go by so on the list they go. I am actually able to be a part of things now. I certainly do not call ignoring those who post nothing but crap to incite a loss. In fact just before I saw your post I saw a poster who has been gone for lots of years come back with flame bait. Gone. They were always a waste of time and now no more.

Too many good things to read, from both sides, that get chewed up in flame wars.

So what do you mean exactly? I don't like using Ignore but....it would be nice if there were something else.

And I've seen it on other sites. Good way to separate the sheep from the goats.
