| Is there a chance we could have, in addition to the ignore list, a "friends" list? So that, when we add people to it, their posts are subtly highlighted in threads we visit? There are some very smart people here who I tend to learn a lot from... And there are a lot more that, while I don't necessarily want to ignore, I don't need to always read to get through the thread. |
Even without the highlighting a "friends list" would be a good idea IMO. It would be nice to be able to save people to the list and maybe add a note for why they were added so that you could find them again. Highlighting their posts wouldn't be a bad addition either.  |

Quoted: great idea I would use it over an ignore anyday It could even be used as an ignore of sorts. If you could put notes with your list you could highlight all posts by currently suspected trolls and such. That's not really what makes this such a good idea but it is an added perk. |

The friend list options are on the table and partially done. We are looking at two basic systems... 1) Watch lists This allows you to have highlights on people you like to read in threads, possibly keep a list of threads from people on your list, etc. 2) Friend lists This will be much more feature friendly, but will require a typical request/approve process between people. Friends will get notifications when they log in, post in threads, start new threads, and so forth. These options will be configurable to your liking and will include the ability to automatically add friends to watch lists so their posts are highlighted as well. Keep in mind a few other features will be coming within this scope including groups, shared calendars, etc.  |

It would be cool to be able to filter a threat to only show you posts by the people in your friends list. This seems to be going in the direction of Facebook.. ;) What would be the point to only see your friend list people's responses? At first I was thinking it would be nice just to see what the people you like are saying in a thread but I guess you could just beef up your ignore list. ;) |

There are some people's posts that I always enjoy. |
