Would you pay for a user ignore button?

I think I might! image

Perhaps I'm getting ornery as I get older, but there seems to be a number of forum members lately that I'd like to be able to avoid seeing their ill considered comments. It might be worth a small membership fee just to have this feature.

In scanning older threads regarding this feature to discover it wasn't available, I saw this amusing thread where I mistakenly thought I'd run into a young Tom Bush image

But then I saw old bear saying this:

If I had an ignore button, I would

use it on myself. But then I would never

know what I was saying.

and had to crack a smile.........

    If I paid anything, I'd want control over their content instead.

    The inimitable Catbert and VirginiaCollector have a point. Talk to Mr. Willis. You may be able to monetize this feature.

    Is there an "app" in this?

    I think if it gets that bad I'll just find something else to do.

    The app would squirt mustard in your eyes every time a member signs on you don't want to see! image

    Oh, I'd certainly use such a feature if it were available. But maybe BryceM has the better alternative.

    Mustard is the evil bane of the coin world. That gives me an idea, I should draw up an evil mustard villain. Any suggestions on the shape of the bottle?

    I don't want selective blinders, you can still trip over a mouse or an elephant. I'd rather know what they are doing.

    In North Korea you don't have to pay for an ignore button. Comes standard on all of their computers.

    Oh yes indeedy.

    See, I am an American and too opinionated, stupid, and helpless to control myself if I see anything I don't like.

    Haysoos! This idea pops up regularly on ALL forums.

    how about a cross between killer klowns from outer space & various mustard brand bottles? don't forget some of the shorter-rounder bottled types and the large bulk-sized items. like gallon sized mustard bottles. can't think of the darn word just now.

    Actually, with a certain member continuously posting so many off topic political rants as raves about the unfair system/government, inflation, politics and on and on and on.....The above thought as crossed my mind.

    Honestly I do not even read the posts if they are by certain participants. It's free and it saves me a lot of wasted time.

    I suppose it is theoretically possible that I might miss a brilliant comment in one of them, but based on a reasonable sample size I think that's pretty unlikely.

    Pretty much this, although the list is short. I know their avatars and scroll right on by their comments.
    I like large size currency and silver dollars.

    Reminds me of a post I started a while ago - I do read the author list before the titles. Saves me a lot of time.

    I'll support the ignore button only if I can see who's blocking me. image

    I tend to enjoy those who have a penchant for drama and emotional tirades or outbursts. It's quite entertaining. I even promote this for mental health reasons, sometimes.

    Agree. I'd would also be afraid that I would miss some very entertaining drama here. image
