Brad,

As for Kill Keys, I like them as long as they're optional. Individuals can censor for themselves and not for others. I would like safeguards against threads being riddled with notes asking to ignore a member. People should be able to figure out whom they want to ignore on their own. without cluttering up the threads with constant posts about who should be ignored.

I don't use Kill Keys, since I prefer to skim things I don't want to read, and I would like to maintain a sense of continuity. But that should be a personal choice. If some don't care for continuity and are keen on censorship, then they can perform their own acts of censorship.

Like on Prodigy, it seems to me that the matter of who is ignored by how many shouldn't be "counted up." Who cares? The point of SI is to discuss stocks. If people need to compete about how many times their profiles are bookmarked or how often their posts are ignored, let them go to a self-esteem site, not a stock site.
