Alan,

Would it be possible to introduce some kind of "ignore" button or a "black out option" or something like that? Every forum member would have the opportunity to select other members and click that button and put them on their "black out list". In that way you won't be forced to look at (or read) all the "contributions" of certain forum members because they are on your list and the forum doesn't show you anything they posted. It would clean this place up nicely
