Ok guys, I found a phpbb2 mod from phpbbhacks.com that installs an ignore feature here in the forum. However, as you can see in the instructions below, it's a pain in the a** and involves creating a table in the SQL database of this forum, which I'd have to do from the Godaddy Admin Panel. Are you sure you guys really need this? Can't you just manually ignore someone you don't like, by scrolling through their posts?

## Author Note:
## v1.1.1 Minor bug fix in viewtopic.php
## v1.1.0 New updated version with more functions
## v1.0.0 Release: I have added functionality in the viewtopic to add a poster
## to the ignore list. Also fixed a bug which allowed users to be listed
## multiple times.
## BETA: I did not add instructions as to where you would like to put the link
## to the ignore.php function. You can add the link anywhere you would like.
## Examples are: Top menu links, inside the profile.php or inside each post.
## It really is up to you. I placed it on the top menu.
