What happened to the glowing ignore button??? I have so many on ignore I can not keep up with them. Sometimes I click unignore to see if I had ignored on accident. If the button still glowed it could be assumed it was for good reason without having to see the garbage again. PLEASE bring back the glowing ignore button.

It got removed with the ability to set avatars - a real shame considering the all time high number of trolls around here..

I'm all in favor of the re-institution of newbie jail. A month of posting only in the noob and off-topic sub-forums and 6 months before starting threads would seem about right.

Bringing back the colored ignore button probably wouldn't help much though. Hardcore trolls don't care. Wasn't it ElectricMucus who used to brag that "if your ignore button isn't glowing red, you're doing it wrong"?

Of bigger concern is that real trolls might ignore honest posters just to turn their ignore buttons red in an attempt to discredit them.

Just a thought.

Maybe do like I believe Fonsie suggested and have a proof of stake. It could be done just in speculation where you have no business if you have no stake. Enough trolls buying in to troll would surely cause a ramp up. Grin
