"Hide" button on active threads

Post by Goodspeed »

@Cometk had the idea of being able to hide threads from the active threads feed, in case one isn't interested in them. I think this would greatly help people to avoid reading spam in off topic, which they find annoying.

Perhaps a button somewhere here:

Would probably need a new table in the db with user id and thread id and just add a record when people click the button.

I don't think it's needed to also implement an "unhide" feature. Maybe people will ask for it later.

If this is implemented there should be an option to pay a small fee to make sure your threads can't be hidden no matter what.

As much as I'd like it, it would clutter the space which is overcrowded already

That thread really should be unlocked so it can go back to the active threads section

I take a radical approach that no thread nor board should be able to be hidden or filtered from any user.

How about also "hide all posts from a specific user" or ignore function like twitch :hmm:

And while we are at it, remove "Email topic" and "Print view".

Why? I want to have the option to print particularly good posts out and mail them to people.
