Filter out the Politics threads on "View Unread Posts"?

Postby Highbury Hillbilly » Mon Feb 17, 2025 4:45 pm

I've been on GW since 2012 and greatly enjoy discussing Arsenal here. It's a more 'old school' type message board compared to other Arsenal boards that are too heavy on social media-driven discussion.

However, I can't stand seeing "American Politics" and "British Politics" at the top of "View Unread Posts" every single day. It's extremely toxic, and I've noticed that one person driving the toxicity NEVER posts about Arsenal. Surely there's got to be a rule about that?

If not, I'd love it if certain threads/subforums could be blocked entirely. I can write a query string on Ublock Origin to accomplish that, but that only works on my computer, and not on mobile.

Cheers for the support. Maybe if the forum infrastructure switches to Xenforo, this will be doable, as the extension exists to accomplish thread 'ignores':
