I have no idea how hard it would be, but a suggestion is to give us the ability to ignore certain users. I've seen some message boards that have this ability. I know the easy answer is to just skip their post. Some people , like me ; have to look at the train wreck.
Thanks for reading.
The ability already exists although it's not terribly convenient. You go to UserCP, then click "Edit Ignore List." Enter the user name of the person you'd like to ignore under "add a member to your list" and click "Okay."
