    New CUK features you'd like to see

    (Not meant as serious request for more development work, but a wish list off the top of my head.)

    * Section or sticky to summarise reason for each banning and suspension, like here

    (I love that phrase "hit and run preaching"! - Shades of Chico )

    * Option to completely ignore specified posters

    (I've pointed out before that the current method includes a ridiculously prominent slot for each "ignored" post!)

    * Working historical post list (if not already fixed - it was broken a couple of weeks ago.)

    any more?

    Those "this post is ignored" banners can be hidden with a simple script, which will entirely remove posts from people on your ignore list (though it doesn't stop them being quoted). If you use adblock just add this:
    Code:
    forums.contractoruk.com##[class="postbitignored postbitim"]

      An automatic filter for all pro-left-wing comments.

        Definitely like #1 - particularly with the comments
        "One has to wonder at what motivates such an individual."

        CUK doesn't have a 'Forum Announcements/News' section, but Admin may consider it for this.

          Some vBulletin board I used a few years ago did tell you the length of a ban and the reason - shouldn't be hard to achieve.

          I'd also like a way to ignore threads I am not interested in, though I must admit given the way threads drift here, I might miss some fun that way.

            On this forum they have a one touch ban and delete. Naturally it's only for dealing with spammers...

            They've also got the ban length and reason.

            In the interim I suppose we could have a closed sticky listing bans, length and reasons.

              It wood be good to have a self-exclusion function like gambling sites. We could all exclude ourselves for 1 day/2 days/1 week/6 months.

              I'll start work on the www.contractorukanonymous.com website tomorrow

                    A for sale board. I love to buy IT tat and have a room full of kit I need to offload which, whilst being old and redundant to myself, would probably still be deemed magical or witchcraft to most of you.
