Allow selective muting of specific players and hiding of threads in the activity feed
It would be really great to be able to ignore certain people's posts in the activity feed, and to hide certain threads when they are no longer interesting. This would really help to keep information that one person finds relevant visible in the activity feed, instead of disappearing off the page. It would also cut down on the anger and insults that some tend to throw at each other (ecv bats eyelashes) when their posts are excessive and/or irritating.
We’ve added an ignore option for posts and comments. While this is not as broad as some of the suggestions, we think it is sufficient for the bulk of cases. We can revisit this if it proves more extensive filtering is needed, but there are some downsides to expanding blocking as well, so hopefully we won’t need to.

I know what you mean, Erku. I had to unsubribe from some interesting discussions because my PM inbox is filled by messages alternately beginning with "@Whisperer" and "@Glyn".
It's a pity when ego is mote important than the welfare of a good thing like planets.nu. I still hope they understand this some day. Freedom of speech is a most precious value, though.

I think this should be revisited, because sometimes people post too much, so that ignoring each single post just isn't enough. Would be great if I could just say I want to ignore all posts of a specific player.

I would like to see the ability to ban people you don't want to see comments from. IE....If they are irritating, just push a button to ignore them in that feed! And perhaps another button to ignore them in ALL feeds!

It'd be great if you can ban people from your own threads in addition.

So true, so true. I have used Ad Block the last month to block the Activity Feed and it has been so much better. Improves the site 500%.

If we get this it would be nice to also deselect some forum categories like the new "chess club". Then such off-planet topic don't disturb at all.

Great idea.
