If people have a problem with posters, they can use ignore (although Daface's greasemonkey script for a better ignore seems to be no longer available, much to my chagrin), and we understand that as an individual decision. If this was just an extension of that to individual posts, that would be something that might be worth testing. That's not what's happening here, though, and this system should never have gotten the ok even for testing.

Should never have gotten the ok for testing? The people who decide that did, i think. Then they figured out how to implement it.

I think they did a good job btw.
