So apparently the forum has an option where you can click a user's name and add them as a foe, thus making their posts not show up in your own login. Not a total fix, but will be semi-helpful for me...
Edit: Well, sort of... doesn't block the title of the post from showing up in the list, just the content if you click it. Oh well.
(And as an aside, I can't click the emoticons to add them to my post anymore, else you would see a machine-gun guy right here)
