Old thread I know but Ignore button needed

The quality of posts have definitely gone down the last 2 month. You'd think ever since SByrne f**ked off they'd go better, but it's been the opposite

The ignore button is a must imo  Are we talking about Grubar here  ROTW section is basically 'Linked with story which never actually happens' except Celtic thread and the section totally dead now, unsurprisingly  It's like reading Teletext back in the 90's. Just in general mate, like some posters are commenting on everything literally for the sake of it. Blatant spamming with sh*t jokes is creeping back in a lot too  There should be a transfer thread and everything be it rumours, something you've made up, confirmed transfers etc should all be dumped in it.  RTG can be very lawless but the ignore button works superbly.

Would be cool if there was a notification of when you got a reply to something i know you have the email option but it could be something added to the main toolbar

 

Something similar to the above which is part of a Newcastle Forum I'm a member of

I think it's a simple feature which would lead to better communication on the forum and better debate most of the time, some debates are never followed up on because you have no notification unless you select the email feature even then who regularly checks their email I'd imagine also it would go to SPAM.

The dislike feature while it has it's benefits I think is dangerous as it may lead abuse.

It never really does though and even if it did, you would want extraordinarily thin skin to be perturbed by it.

Was it not mentioned that the forum could not be updated for new stuff due to the web design company finishing up its contract or something along them lines ?
