Forum Feature Request

Some members of this forum add little to the discussions aside from disparaging remarks and personal attacks. I know the moderators do the best they can to remove objectionable content, but I've noticed that there are a few folks who consistently post within the boundaries of the rules yet, in my opinion, add no value. Could you add a feature for us to "ignore" particular members, their replies and their discussions?
It would certainly make the forums more enjoyable if I could filter the people who make a point to only post complaints, attacks and other sentiments that degrade the enjoyment of participating in these forums.
Thank you for your consideration.

    @Cometheloser would the sense of humor button put whiney and depressing post through a hilarity filter?

    The trolling is something we are *really* trying to get a handle on. I wish I could spend half the time I spend dealing with a few people doing more positive things like directing people to solutions or helping with real issues or questions.

    It's not easy when some feel the forum is a game in itself and just have the need to seek attention or be silly.

    We try.. we *REALLY* try. I can promise you that. :|

    Thanks for the reply @BentWookiee. I appreciate what you and the other moderators do. Part of what inspired me to request this feature was seeing you have to clean out a bunch of garbage posts from a really good discussion thread.
    Cheers and thank you for your time

    any status update regarding this function?
    the same combative malcontents and pedantic tripe day in and day out, sifting through really drains the enjoyment from an otherwise enjoyable forum.. i don't have a background in programming so i can only guess how daunting implementing this feature might be... please and thank you.
