Hide threads started by those on your Ignore list?

Any chance there's a plugin available for these forums that could completely hide any thread started by someone on your Ignore list? As an option, of course. And while we're at it, also hide their posts and threads in searches.

It's nice not having to read some of the stupidity that some users posts, but then we still have to see the absolutely idiotic threads they start.
 
Just updating vbulletin should do the trick, this is a pretty old version. It would be great.
 
I haven't found a way to hide them with CSS, but I do have a trick to turn their usernames red, with a Stylish user style:

Code:
td[id^="td_threadtitle_"][title=""] > div.smallfont > span {
    background-color: red;
}

This also changes the usernames of people who posted threads that have been moved. Which might or might not be an annoyance for you.

Ken, thanks for that. I use Stylish a lot, including here on Anandtech. Of course, that got me looking into whether there is such thing as a parent selector in CSS, so that the TR containing this style could be hidden. And that is a very interesting subject in itself.
