This is something we’ve been promising a long time, and have finally made a reality — the ability to ignore users.
Ignoring a user will remove him from your TCI list, prevent him from contributing to any of your PSIs, hide him in a film’s list of reviews and remove him from the front page of recommendations. It will prevent that user from sending you personal messages (and vice-versa).
You can do this for users whom you find offensive or aggressive, users who you don’t want showing up in your recommendations, or those people who you just don’t like. The ignored user will not be aware that he’s been ignored.
If you find other areas where the ignored user appears, please let us know and we’ll extend the functionality.
Thanks guys.
Will this affect the forums?
I certainly hope it affects the forums, some people there really need to ignore each other.
Would it be possible to choose which things users are ignored from? Specifically there are users I want to ignore from my TCIs but still want to be able to see their reviews/ratings.
It doesn’t affect the forum yet — that’s something we weren’t sure on how to handle. Having certain posts removed entirely might render threads nonsensical, though we can certainly understand the desire to ignore certain users on the forum.
For now, we’ve filed it as a separate bug, and will be handling it separately.
This is even better than chewbacca slippers.
Thanks guys. Now i’m in fully love with Criticker.
