You & I are def on the same page.  There's been a long-running dispute over this & related issues on another forum I'm on, and it drives me absolutely crazy.

In fact, this is two lines too much on the subject but I hope others take heed and feela the chipmusic lurve!

I've seen this work to varying degrees.  What I've tended to see with this, is that the earliest posts in a thread eventually get hidden, as they will almost always statistically garner enough -1's to force said posts into hiding.  Given, this was on a very highly-flamed forum, but it may bring up a salient concern -- does/will hiding posts based upon voting/smiting potentially engender more frustration than it might allay?

A very nice rule for forums actually is "stay on topic". It might sound harsh to some, but it gets the job done imo.

Also, no popularity contests. herr_prof was right: "Being an adult avoids flamewars."

LOL. Maybe even with a christmas theme until late summer?

Personally I'm against the ignore feature. It would make you more of a dick to ignore someone than for them to make "troll posts". Not to mention you would miss out on parts of discussions and end up taking other peoples posts out of context.
So far our member base has been great. Most of the people who are here are serious musicians who make serious posts.
And the staff has done a great job of moderating and keeping people in line, myself included.

It also might be a good feature to see how many people are ignoring you to encourage good posts. Unfortunately I think forum updates are going to be put on hold while we get ready for some music.

Things I want added to the forums:
- social network site links
- make the user page sexier
- add ignore & links to the posts in a nice maybe drop-down manner.
- add a bouncing console logo to the header. har har.
