    A nice feature is People You Ignore. Go to your personal profile, select People You Ignore, and enter the screen name of someone you wish to ignore. It works!

    For clarification this is an already existing feature of the forum, and not a new suggestion.

    Scottish Monk,
    I've been posting in online religious forums for the last 3 years, many members here have been for much longer. The Ignore feature is an important one in maintaining civility and charity. It has been my experience (and I learned this the hard way) that when someone comes to a forum and insults people, or posts offensive and inappropriate material; it is best to report the offensive and inappropriate posts and not engage with the person causing the problems. If you've tried to have a civil conversation, and it is obvious the other party will not abide by basic charity rules; silence is often the most charitable response.

    Peace and blessings to all,
    Anna
