    If you filter a user, you won't see their posts or comments, regardless of whether you follow the tag on their post, or if their comment was shared with you.

In that case, I'd like to propose some "make visible" button on filtered posts and comments. My use of filter option is less about "X offends me" and more "what, another post/comment about boring-ass X?". Yeah, I know tags can be filtered, but it didn't work as well as filtering out a user. Doesn't mean I never want to see what they have to say about other topics, but life's too short to wade through a dozen comments wanking about X.

EDIT: Also, please, leave 'global chat' as it is, at least as an option.

There will be global chat and global posts.

Global posts is the only way I use this website

Your browsing will be largely unaffected. You'll need to follow folks to see comments, but you won't have to follow many for most of the good stuff to get to you.
