Please don't let this happen here
Thanks. I'm on the phone app. Doesn't look like all features are on here.
Just as an fyi, I just got a reply from Chuck. He says says that vendors are allowed to post announcements for new products on the main forum as long as they don't include pricing info. Our option is to add the vendor to an ignore list if we don't want to see their posts.

Which also kind of stinks as now I won't be able to see posts from the people I "ignore" even if they're in the classifieds section.

Well, I'm disappointed to report that the ignore list doesn't work the way I would've hoped. It doesn't remove the threads from your thread list if they were started by someone on your ignore list. All it does is replace the individual messages from that member with something similar to this:
"This message is hidden because need4speedmotors is on your ignore list."
Consequently, your thread list is still polluted by ads from those members.
"This message is hidden because need4speedmotors is on your ignore list."
Consequently, your thread list is still polluted by ads from those members.

Time will tell...

Another data point: As you note, posts made by someone on your Ignore list still appear in the list but the text is not shown. Additionally, if an Ignored person posts in a thread, although the content of their post is not shown, it WILL still appear in a Quoted post.
Example: Member A is on your ignore list, and Member A posts a response in a thread. Member A's post appears but the content does not. Member B now quotes Member A's post in their response - you'll still see Member A's content in the quote, it is not blocked.
I click through all the threads just in case, but it's pretty easy to see which ones are ads based on the thread title and OP if you're looking to skip over them.
