This isn't a troll, but there a few people in this forum that I don't bother to read what they write either. As I scroll down the thread when I notice their name come up I just skip over the post. A whole lot less work.

Also, if you are trying to follow a thread and this person you want to ignore happens to say something pertaining to the thread, (rare I know) you can at least go back and review the post for any information.

I self censor these forums, works just fine.

Rift starts 1 March. My WoW account will expire 2 March.

No reason to come to IGN boards after that.

There's no functionality like that built in to the forum software. Without wishing to be too harsh, fact is, the vnboards software is pretty primitive - I've been posting here for nearly six years and I don't recall seeing any improvements in functionality in that time, we're still firmly at "turn of the century" levels of technology.

You actually need some kind of "ignore function" in order to ignore someone here?

Keep in mind, sure you can skip over most of the time but there will be those moments that, while scanning, this comes to mind:
