Guide Review - eBay Forum Ignore List
As with most forums and discussion boards, eBay has its share of people that you would just assume not have to deal with. Whether their posts are spam-like in nature, offensive, annoying, or just plain boring, you may find yourself wishing you could simply tune them out. Help has arrived in the form of the eBay Forum Ignore List. A virtual mute button for the eBay discussion boards, this user script gives you the tools to manage your own account blacklist which hides posts from users that you want to avoid. If blocking an entire account seems a bit too extreme, you can also hide individual posts with one click of the mouse. Editing long blacklists through the script's only menu command can be quite a chore when seeking out individual account names. Aside from that minor complaint, I think this is a fantastic addition to your browser if you are an active user of the eBay discussion boards.
