Is there anyway to make the mute/ignore user function on these forums more easily accessible? Please. Could y'all add an 'Ignore' button to the window that pops up when we hover over a user's handle? Or at least on their profile page? Most forums I've used have had such an option. Currently we have to: 1) identify the offending user, 2) copy his/her handle, 3) open our profile settings to the ignore section, 4) enter or paste the handle, 5) select which types of communications to ignore, 6) save changes, then 7) return to the thread we were reading. Doesn't that seem like too many steps for such a basic function? Also, may we please have the ability to toggle off all 'Signatures', rather than that being user-specific through the same cumbersome 'Ignore' process?

The majority of forum users are pleasant, thoughtful, and helpful. However, there are a significant number that are anything but. Unfortunately, many of them are among the more active forum participants. Some consistently take threads off topic and/or engage in off-topic back-and-forth conversations within the thread. Some wantonly present misinformation, or their own ill-considered speculation, as confirmed facts. Some simply spend far more time typing than thinking about what they're typing. Some are just immature, rude, or abusive.

However they they do it, they make it more burdensome to find information or thoughtful discussion on these forums. I don't mind if these people do their thing, or have signatures. I don't want to prevent people from saying what they want or 'Report' them for content that isn't objectively harmful. I'd just appreciate a functional way to keep them from muddling my screen while I use the forums.

Lemme guess, you are active in the Skyrim forum?

This is probably the kind of thing you'd want to PM GStaff or a moderator or someone about. Not sure how long it would take to get suggestions implemented though.


Also if you see this going on you might want to consider reporting them as this kind of behavior is against the rules. Off topic discussion is probably something you could be a little lenient over, but if the topic is being completely ignored because of it then it's an issue.

I like to use a special technique called 'not reading those posts'.
