Some people get smarter with time. Just roll you eyes and ignore them till they do.

I definitely want this. I'd rather not even see the headlines in the topics that Cid posts. I don't keep my head in the sand. I follow the news as much as anyone but I don't need his hand-picked selections in my face.

Cid bugs you? Really?
Hmm. I find him mostly innocuous.
Now ignoring me Mos, that would seem to make much more sense.

| What difference does it make? If you don't like someone don't read their posts. Simple as that. |

That's the main reason I don't bother with ignore lists. They almost make you want to read that sh!t more.
Even if they made this change you still might see someone quoting your nemesis & get riled up all over again.

If someone quoted them, wouldn't the inclusion of the name in the quote keep you from seeing the post? Or does it only key in on the person who actually did the posting?

I agree. This one small modification to the forum software would tremendously improve the majority of users' participation experience.
Here is a mod that might work:
| Code: | // ==UserScript==
// @name User Classes
// @include http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php*
// @description Adds a class to facilitate hiding a user's posts
// @exclude
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
// Ignore posts
var results = document.evaluate("//td[@class='avatar']/span/b", document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
var resultNodes = [];
while (aResult = results.iterateNext())
resultNodes.push(aResult);
for (var i in resultNodes) {
var containingRow = resultNodes[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
containingRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
var nextRow = containingRow.nextSibling;
while (nextRow.nodeType != 1)
nextRow = nextRow.nextSibling;
nextRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
}
// Ignore threads
var results = document.evaluate("//td[@class='vf2']/span[@class='name']", document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
var resultNodes = [];
while (aResult = results.iterateNext())
resultNodes.push(aResult);
for (var i in resultNodes) {
var containingRow = resultNodes[i].parentNode.parentNode;
containingRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
var nextRow = containingRow.nextSibling;
while (nextRow.nodeType != 1)
nextRow = nextRow.nextSibling;
nextRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
}
})();
