I've found a modification that will prevent users that you have on your ignore list from posting on threads that you start. They'll simply not be able to contribute where you started a thread.
Shall I install it?

..Go on then, you know you want to. Are you really still in Brizzle or have you forgotten to edit your location details?

And it's all gone quiet..
So I'm assuming they'll be made aware of the fact that they've been blocked? I don't really see what good it will do.

It's a bad idea.
When you start a thread, you're merely starting it, not owning it. It's not 'your' thread, as such, but belongs to anyone and everyone who may wish to read or add to it.
I don't see what good it would do to bar people from a right of reply. It might lead to threats of 'If you disagree with me again I'll threaten to ignore you and therefore stop you posting again'. It doesn't make for a healthy forum.

Not a good idea. Ignore did the job. Blocking post quotes from people you ignore would be more useful.
All of this. There's no such thing as 'your threads'.

I've just installed that and it seems to work fine.
I wouldn't be a fan. The people on my ignore lists are the people I don't want to read. But they get responses elsewhere, so some people must like what they have to say, so even if I'm not interested on what they have to say on a topic I bring up, I would imagine others might.

No, just because i dont want to see some things they post - why shouldnt they be able to see what i post ?
Also, what about the people who are on the ignore list of those who start official match threads, or ratings threads, or big news stories. We get enough repeat threads as it is, do we want to install a system that will force people to have to start new threads to comment on a topic that already has a thread?

Is there a way of blocking anything about football?

The vast majority of people put someone on ignore for no other reason than their contributions on a thread are nothing more than “trolling” reasons, the main amount of reported posts we get are people reporting “trolls” so if you start a thread and you know that the trolls you have on ignore can’t contribute within that public thread it will create the thread/s to flow with far more reasoned healthy debate and will prevent the trolls from derailing the thread and turning it into a binfest.
I also believe that it will increase the use of the vastly underused “ignore” function, it has absolutely nothing to do with the thread starter “owning” the thread, just about everyone starts a thread for it to cause open healthy debate and for sensible contribution, as indeed this very thread is doing!
If anyone does have individuals on ignore purely because they don’t agree or like their opinions (trolls aside) they are the ones who have a problem, they clearly don’t want to listen to other peoples opinions or reasons, I doubt many people like that actually start threads anyway.
This function should be given a trial run in my opinion, use it for say a 3 month period and we can then monitor it and see if it is an asset to the board or not.
