okay, fair enough. 

I've also just tested it for my very first time "ignoring" a member (i.e. 
@ginfreely); but shortly after that, I 
un-"ignored" her! :p
But what about 
guests? They 
can't "ignore" any member's threads, right?
What if 
ALL regular/active members (or even better, 
ALL members) were to "ignore" 
@ginfreely; or even better again, what if it's possible for 
@Leongsam (or even just you) to 
force all members to "ignore" 
@ginfreely?
She would soon realize that 
nobody is bothering to 
reply to her, so she'll just keep starting 
new spam threads or replying to her 
old spam threads until 
nearly the whole of the 
first page (or even first two or three pages) of the 
Courtyard sub-forum are filled with her 
spam threads that 
only she and guests can see, right?
But 
all other members would be 
deceived into thinking that 
all the threads (
none of which are started by 
@ginfreely) they are seeing on the first few pages of the Courtyard sub-forum are what the 
vast majority (i.e. 
guests) of visitors:
sammyboy.com/online
are seeing, right?
So for example, if starting from 
before two nights ago, all members (including you and even 
@Leongsam) were already "ignoring" 
@ginfreely, then by now, even though 
none of us can see any threads started by her, the 
guests (who constitute the 
vast majority of visitors) would be wondering why 
nearly all the threads they are seeing on the 
first page of the Courtyard sub-forum 
every evening until early morning are started by her, especially since her threads are 
usually spammed with 
her lies and/or nonsense, even if she were to start her threads with 
deceptive titles to 
attract guests to click on them and read her 
spam posts.
Is that what 
@Leongsam and/or you 
really want to happen to this forum?
