FlyerTalk has the ability to add (or remove) members to an Ignore List, so you are relieved of reading their posts.
Ignore only works at the post level; it will not block an Ignored member's post if it is being quoted by a non-ignored member, nor will it block threads started by a member of your Ignore list - you will see the thread, but the first post will not be readable.
Adding a member to the Ignore list will not block PM / Private Messages or e-mails from them.
(We'd advise being conservative with this, because you may deprive yourself of valuable information at times.)

HOW TO EDIT / ADD A MEMBER TO YOUR IGNORE LIST
- In desktop browser mode:
- Go to My FlyerTalk (leftmost option in your blue Menu Bar). In the Settings and Options subhead in Your a Control Panel (left hand menu column) select Edit Ignore List to add (or remove) member handles.
- OR, click on a member's User ID (in blue) in any of the forum threads and a menu will appear; click on "View Public Profile" to go to their profile page. On the profile page, below their username, there will be two dropdown menus: "Send Message" and "User Lists". Click on "User Lists" and then "Add to Ignore List"
- In either desktop or mobile browser mode:
- OR, if you are signed in, you can use this "express" link to edit your Ignore List (the first method under "desktop browser mode" simply takes you to this link)

It seems that the Ignore function gets switched off somewhere during the suspension-and-reactivation process. It's really just a minor annoyance; I was simply curious if you were aware of it on the systems side.

In My FlyerTalk, there is a link to both a Buddy and an Ignore list.
(Buddy list doesn't really serve any function since they've removed the Who's Online listing...)

If you open a member's profile, there are options to add and remove them from your ignore list. You can also do this and manage your list of users on the list via this link, found on the left hand tool bar.

IIRC, you cannot ignore the posts of someone who is either an administrator or moderator of FlyerTalk.

Have you ever used the ignore user feature on Flyertalk?
I am trying to ignore a few users, but it seems to only work at the post level. Threads started by the user still show up here. Is there a way to ignore threads started by users on the list?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question. Please move it if somewhere else would be better.

I raised this question once before (most likely for the same reason as you: because no one wanted to make changes to the definition of Travel Buzz to eliminate the current mess in the forum) and the answer seems to be that there is no way to do this and no desire to do it either since the thread might contain posts by others.
