Feature request: mute users #65

Closed jvzr closed 4 years ago

jvzr commented 4 years ago

Hey Mihir / @plibither8

I hope you're doing great. I was wondering if you were open to the idea of adding the ability to mute users? When muting a user, his/her comments would be collapsed by default.

I recognize that it is not necessarily a good thing to have, but I'd be willing to develop it like I did collapse-root-comment. Ofc I'd prefer you telling me what you think before I start

Best, jerome

Hi @jvzr! Great to see you back :)

I know this is a really late reply and I apologise for it. The feature that you propose seems a tad bit unhealthy. Sure it might come in use sometimes, but it might just encourage the habit of seeing who has posted the comment rather than what they have posted.

Maybe you can fork the repo and work on the feature separately - I will be happy to provide any assistance over there too! I myself am using a customised RHN with features I have decided not to make public too :P

Cheers, Mihir
