Forums Feature Request: Ignores?

I think it was brought up before, but are the new forums going to get ignore lists added as a feature? I have a handful of posters I’d love to /ignore on here and see neither their posts, comments, nor replies to their comments.

IIRC it was something they wanted to implement but no timeline on when we would get it.

I heard this too. Definitely some people on these forum that deserve to be ignored. Cannot wait til they implement it.

Yeah I think they said something along the lines that they are looking into it but not sure when it will be implemented

I heard from a reliable source that it’s going to be in the next forum expansion but its being locked behind a time gate and a level 6 rep farm.
The good news is we are moving to a single forum avatar to facilitate better communication between the playerbase and blizz.

Monza,

Don’t ignore me…you sweet julupment of sugardoodles.

The way your totems have those flowers and daisies sprout at their bases, keep all the male, and quit a few female, shaman fawning over your shadow and left scent of perfume.

sniff sniff…the smell of mail and lace…

Ok, earth elemental…quit typing what I was day dreaming about…What?&$!!..you already hit send…ctrl alt del…ctrl alt del…arrgh call a goblin, call a gnome…or better yet…

/ignore

Be nice to ignore entire threads, especially those started when there are already open threads for the same topic.

And to ignore those who create those spam threads.

right now, you can’t block people unless you know how to add custom css to a website (via a browser extention)

you need their forum id, which you can get from viewing thier profile and adding .json to the end, or if you use inspect element, you can get it by looking at the data-user-id element of the article tag around the post. then do the below

article[data-user-id=“12345”] {display:none;}
^^ just replace 12345 with the id of the person you want to hide, then no posts by that person will show to you.

You can do that actually–go to the bottom of the post and click on the paw print, then select “mute”.

and this method isn’t rocket science to learn and is effective.

That would kind of obliterate the board, would it not?

I just want a Favicon to be added to the Blizz forums… the generic favicon next to the bookmark makes this look like such a cheaply made website.

My totems bring all the dwarves to the yard, for sure. You are safe from my ignore list, YGBB.

This post is gold, but very confusing since I am not particularly tech savvy. Is there anyway you could elaborate?

Oh yeah, I also would love the ignore feature ^^ Wanted to stop in and add that. Though from what people have said, I’m glad it’ll at least be added eventually.

Ignore lists are for the weak. Flip the trolls the digital bird and then ignore them irl, by changing topics.

Being silly I’d it isn’t clear enough. ; )

if you use chrome, I was able to make it work using the Stylish extension

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish-custom-themes-for/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en

Make sure the quote marks are the straight ones, not the curved one. When I copied the text from the forums, the quotes were the curved ones (which have a name, I just can never remember what it is) and that won’t work, you have to change them.

install the extension then you’ll have a little “S” button on the upper right. click on it, and then click the three dots next to “Stylish On” in the top. click “Create New Style”

here’s where you’d put the style:

article[data-user-id=“12345”] {display:none;}

replacing the 12345 with whatever the user id is of the person you want to ignore. you would just need to make one entry per person. you can probably safely add it to everything, or try doing a specific url of https://us.forums.blizzard.com (I don’t know if it will look for an exact link or if it uses wildcards)

Thank you, truly. I will try that when I can get to my PC, but I might have to ask for some troubleshooting depending… sorry.

no problem! happy to help

Just as an addition, there is also a Chrome plugin called User CSS that’s lightweight and works well.
