The Forum software allows members to selectively ignore other specific members.

Adding members to your 'ignore list'

To add another member to your 'ignore list': click on their member name, then on Manage Ignores. This takes you to a page that lists their member ID/Name and has a space for you to add an Optional Reason to briefly explain why you're ignoring this person. This field is optional, but if many people are ignoring this member with the same reasons, the site administrators will see this and will determine if other actions are needed on their part.

This page also allows you to set the Ignore Level:

Level 1: Tinted Glass (Placing members behind the 'tinted glass' will prevent them from inviting you to a private topic.)

Level 2: Wood Crate (Placing members in a 'wood crate' as the same affect as 'tinted glass' plus they will not be able to view your profile.)

Level 3: Lead Box (Placing highly toxic members in a 'lead box' has the same affect as 'wood crate' plus the member's topics and posts will be hidden from your view. Their names will also not be displayed in the 'online' information.)

Managing your 'Ignore List'

To manage your ignore list, go to My Home -> Control Panel -> Ignore List. This page will show the members you have on ignore, the level of ignore, any optional reasons, their online status, and options you have (Remove them from ignore or Edit the ignore member reasons).
