How to ignore users?

there are some incredible tools that frequent these forums. id truly like the ability to block this trolls, fight starters, and %**t talkers.
is there an option to do so? if not, how hard to implement one? i cant be the only person that would really not like to read/hear from certain peoples.

Currently, the only way, is to block their PM's. There isn't an option to hide their posts in the forums.

That would take a software change from the development team. They are working on a long awaited platform change, so I doubt they are going to consider trying to improve this outdated software.

If someone is hijacking your thread, or violating any of the forum rules, click the 'report' link at the top of their post. That will bring it to the attention of the moderator team.
