So quotes aren't hidden when a user is Ignored?

Just sorta ends up defeating the point, because all of the users posts are still clearly visible you're just seeing them once rather than twice but I don't want to see them at all.

So I would say don't pay attention to the quote & focus on the post itself

Don't see how it is possible for the system to pick up the fact that a quote is on your Ignore List. Also to be considered is the fact that you may want to see & respond to the post itself

I work on a system where each post has a unique code linked to the user, and that unique code is embedded when quoting. With tags it could be used to shield a blocked user's quote or the entire reply. An example use is when information has various levels of classification. I'm not saying whether such a feature is worth your while to add, just that it's possible in data-driven Content Managed systems.

I agree with this. Why would anyone intentionally avoid seeing posts that may be relevant to him/her? If the posts are irritating, just don't respond to that person.

I'm not sure that software such as vBulletin offers that. I would think if it did that it would be implemented. That's a guess of course and only one of our Admins/Devs could answer that.

You have to consider whether not showing quoted posts from blocked users has a negative affect on the overall thread. If another user quotes a post of a blocked user then the post from another user may no longer make sense. So if the software were to block quoted posts from blocked users should it also block the posts of users that quoted the blocked user. If so, should it also block posts from users that quoted posts of another user that quoted a post of a blocked user. If so, where does this stop.
