There is an ignore thread option that's not available here, but that involves you actualy going to the thread and ignoring it once. That could probably be easily added to Enworld 2.Mouseferatu said:"All over the page" may have been a bit of hyperbole in this case (though there have been times when it wasn't). At the moment, it's four.
But I really only meant that as an example, and there have certainly been times when threads on a given topic were far more numerous. My point was simply that the ability to ignore a given topic, as one can ignore a given poster, is a feature I'd like to see. I didn't really mean to focus on the specific instance.

So what if the category isn't a good measure of topic? It's an okay measure of topic. Whenever I use the Search feature to search using more specific terms, I usually have to go through a lot of "not what I'm looking for" to find "what I'm looking for." Is the Search feature a bad idea? No!Umbran said:Well, here's a bit of a telling point - it is four, but one of them isn't listed in that category, it has the topic of "Humor" rather than "4e". So, the category isn't necessary a good measure.
With the exception perhaps of "4e", if you look at the categories I think you'll find that the categories don't usually reflect the topic of conversation. They aren't intended to, and I think in oder to deliver the function you want, we'd need a much much larger keyword set.
Jdvn1 said:Having a feature to ignore certain categories isn't going to be perfect all the time--ignoring the 4e category is still going to yield 4e threads--but if we get 75% fewer 4e threads, that's really useful.
Some people may like the feature, others may not. That's the beauty of the feature--not everyone has to use it. Are you really arguing against it? Why?
