Kevin, re the "Time-Wasting Moron List"; I think it would work like this:

1. PeopleMark the offending person
2. Insert a scarlet letter "A" next to their name

Problem solved!

Kevin,

I'll give the "ignore" functionality some thought today. If it's something I can put in place quickly, it will be ready tomorrow morning. Thanks for the suggestion.

An interesting side-effect will be that, by looking the "most frequently-ignored" list, we will be able to accurately identify the precious few posters that are really irritating to people and perhaps give them a little "coaching", or automatically put a limit on the number of posts they can make. For example, if someone is ignored by 25 people, then they get a limit of 5 posts per day.

Of course then we'll hear from the "SI = Big Brother" rebels :)

Brad
