Vae Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The ignore system seems to do very little in terms of actually ignoring post content. It hides them in-thread, but that's about it. They still show up in the sidebar and on the activity page. Are there any plans or capabilities to fix this? Because right now, it's almost entirely pointless to checkmark that box. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellie Gator Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 This is more or less why I left. And... dunno if I'll come back or not. Just putting this feedback out there while I'm lurking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sar Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I totally agree that there are some improvements that need to be made to the ignore system. If I may bring up an additional suggestion, could there possibly be a way to hide threads that you don't want to see in the similar manner to hiding user posts? I'm pretty sure not everyone wants to see a page of nothing but "X is literally the Y fetish" threads. Or garbage threads in general, like the "anti-Pc safe zone" thread to give an example.

Onnes Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Being able to ignore threads would be such a nice feature. That you can't even properly ignore individual users at the moment is just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extensible, but to do so means spending money because the plugin authors and forum software owners are greedy types. Or just write it yourself. If there aren't already basic, extensible methods everywhere for filtering content then there's far deeper issues with this forum software.

Considering they're generally kept to a spot designated specifically for shitposting, I don't see the problem. OldFAF wasn't exactly the most serious community. Regardless, it would be useful to just have like an [x] or something beside threads you don't want to see / have already seen / etc just to clear up pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastryOfApathy Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 All I want more than anything else is a hide thread option.

ArielMT Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You can create any number of customized personal activity streams, each showing either all or a select few forum topics. A drawback is that it's inclusive filtering, not exclusive filtering like a proper ignore system would be. To set one up: Activity -> My Activity Streams -> Create New Stream You can share the stream's URL with other Phoenixed users, and others can add it to their streams. Adding someone else's existing stream creates your own copy of the stream which you can edit, clone from, or delete at your leisure without affecting anyone else's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshabi Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I honestly like that this feature doesn't work. Everyone should be exposed to the toxic waste they want to avoid, that way we can eventually mutate our members into gaining super powers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretaker Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The more of this thread I read the more I wish I had given thought to better software. There may be plug ins to expand the functionality but they come at the cost of dependence; if we move to some different-hopefully-better system we would have to find similar plug-ins.
