Ignore list functionality

[KrazyHorse]

I like to put people on my ignore list and then pull them off after a few months to check if there's been any improvement in their posts. However, I'm finding it a hassle to manage my ignore list. I tend to forget when I put certain people on it, and making a note of each addition seems to be too much like work. Therefore, I'd like to request a feature that allows me to enter an ignore period (in days, say) each time I add somebody. At the end of that period, the person would automatically be removed from my ignore list and I would be able to read their posts again.

Pros? Cons?

I second this. I frequently need to give some posters a time-out of 2 to 3 days, depending on the severity of their retardation infraction. But I need to remember. It's so much work.

Some people, like blackice, are still on there. I don't remember what he did, or when he did it, or if he even still posts.

[KrazyHorse]

Can somebody tell me what Asher just said?

[KrazyHorse]

Wasn't blackice the one who beat up his wife or something?

God, how hard is it just to skip over posts from people that you don't want to read? That requires no maint.
No self discipline at all.

[KrazyHorse]

Now, now rah. For you, I'll be sure to make a note of it. How does Aug. 13 4pm strike you?

[rah]

whatever. It's not really important to me.

That sounds about right.

Merely seeing Ben's avatar sets me into a fit of rage that can't be stopped.

AFAICT, so does getting out of bed.

Yeah, those are bad days.

I don't understand why you would ever have un-ignored him in the first place.

Asher probably has the same character flaw I do: excessive faith in humankind.

That probably explains my never-ending frustration with Ben.

He never learns, never gets better.

I'm increasingly convinced he's an alien plant on Earth to discourage mankind from ambitious goals.
