Last poster:

Is there a way that the site could be tweaked so that the "Last poster:" flag on forum listings excludes anyone on an ignore list ?

I reckon it would support self-control and one could be blissfully unaware of the troublemakers' existence, making life a lot easier on members and mods.

I know it's about self-control too, but having taken the decision to put someone on the list to avoid aggro and baiting, it'd be nice if the site acknowledged that someone was trying by offering this added support.

I think it's a little unfair to describe someone on an ignore list as a troublemaker. People put other posters on ignore for various reasons, although I'd imagine that it would be mainly for a difference of opinion. But just because poster A doesn't like poster B it doesn't mean that poster B is automatically a troublemaker.

That said, I've no idea if this may be possible or not, but I'd imagine it would be quite low on the developers' list of priorities right now even it it were. But I'll move this thread to Site Development where you might get a more useful answer from someone there.

You're right - I wouldn't have automatically labelled "anyone" on the list as a troublemaker; but I had the person who prompted the question and the addition to said list in mind while typing. Nothing to do with difference of opinion in this specific case (and putting someone on ignore because of that kinda defeats the purpose of a discussion board and is stupid IMHO)

So hence the query.
