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)

From what I understand, the Ignore User function will block POSTS (not PMs) from the users on your list.
But, if the user is also the OP of a new thread, I'm guessing the software wants you to still be able to see the thread (because it might be full of posts from non-ignored posters you like), so original threads by ignored users are still visible to you. Likely this is the desired behavior and you may just have to "manually ignore" (haha) them.

I am having to do a "manual ignore" on this, just wanted to know if it was technically possible. When downloading on a phone it means using lots of data downloading as there is so much signal-to-noise from this user clogging the pages!
I suppose I should ask for this as a new feature suggestion

Yes, so frustrating. 
I wish something like this would take place soon. The sooner, the better!
ETA: Some changes are happening.

Block user comment? [Using Ignore List master thread]
Hello all
I was curious, is there a button on this forum where I can click it to block all public comments for a certain user? I have experienced many immature users with personal attacks which is unrelated to some threads, so I was curious if such button existed to avoid wasting my time reading irrelevant/immature comments from some users in public threads.
Thanks in advance

Click on a member's user ID (in blue) in any of the forum threads and a menu will appear. The last option is "add [username] to Ignore list"

I would add that personal attacks are prohibited by FlyerTalk Rules. Also, posts that are too far off-topic, excessively argumentative and otherwise disruptive to a thread may constitute rules violations.
All of those types of posts should be reported to moderators for appropriate action.
I'd reserve the ignore button for those few members whom you might personally find annoying, but who aren't technically violating any rules or disrupting the overall flow of the discussion.

But discussing moderator actions is also against the Rules. My recommendation would be to communicate directly with the Emirates forum moderators (Zol and eightblack)if you have questions of how they might be handling Rules violations; failing that, you can communicate with the Community Director, as provided by the Rules:
18. Discussion of Moderator Actions - link to this Rule
Moderators value your private views and feedback related to their actions and duties. You may submit appropriate feedback to moderators by private message or e-mail. Do not post comments about moderator decisions or actions, or about the work of moderators, unless a moderator has invited members to post feedback in a particular thread.
Any concerns about the actions of a moderator should be directed exclusively and privately to the Community Director.

You actually can't know that, because communications such as warnings and the like between moderators and members are also protected by privacy rules.

With all due respect and not commenting on the OP's issues, I had an issue with moderator action (or inaction) and did send all of the pertinent information to the Community Director - twice. I never even received a response to either message, not even an acknowledgement. So I understand the frustration when trying to stay within the rules and not discuss moderator actions but when there is no other recourse and the only avenue available is ignored, what is one to do?

This happened over the span of Jan-Feb, 2013 so I have long since let it go. But the fact that I never even received a response to my two PM's to the CD was very disappointing. It left me feeling that, unless you are one of the 'insiders' or in the inner circle, you aren't worthy of a response. I only commented because sometimes you try to do everything right, stay within the rules, not comment publicly and report issues through the proper channels and, when you don't get a response, it is frustrating. Again, not commenting on the OP's specific case, just my own experience in trying to do things the right way.

With all due respect, but if the mods were indeed taking appropriate actions, then personal attacks towards me would not be popping up in threads where I participate in...... You should have seen them yourself but the mods decided to delete these comments..... Not really sure if they even sent them a warning or not!
