I never thought one person could ruin my enjoyment of an entire site...

That user has taken up about one quarter of my feed. I suspect that it's not a person, but rather a bot.

Thanks for pointing this out, I don't follow #humor and I've "ignored" the user so it hasn't been an issue. However, you've raised an interesting problem. What do you think mk, any suggestions? What if when you ignore somebody, you never see any of their posts, anywhere? This way the person that posted it essentially doesn't exist to you unless they comment. Is that a possible solution? What do you think guiseroom? riemannam? Any other suggestions?

No problem at all, I totally understand. I tend to post and share a lot of stuff and I may not be the "filter" you're looking for. I appreciate the feedback though.

It's not a reflection on quality or quantity to be sure. There are just some things that don't interest me and it's not limited to you. I had briefly ignored scrimetime because I thought it was a basketball hub. This is all I can do until Hubski Enhancement Suite comes out...

I think ideally, Hubski will have all the features that you will need without any browser extension. I personally feel that an enhancement suite is very much reddit-ish, and I'd like hubski to steer clear of that path.

This makes me glad, it means that the ignore function is being used not as "punishment" but as "curation". Good stuff! I'm now following your hub :-)

I think mk specifically doesn't want to do that for tags because of the emphasis on users just as much as content. I think that they expect you to unfollow thenewgreen if you don't like many of those tags.

I really like that solution. I figure that if I'm going to ignore someone, I really don't want to see their posts ever. I can't imagine how this change could be negative.

Could there be a toggle with the ignore that says "feed or all" that would give us an option on how far to ignore a user?
