Some years back a BBIer created a Chrome browser extension that allowed users to block other users and hide their posts. It was a nice way to remove trolls from threads. I couldn't find it so I wound up creating one the other day: BBI Mute.
This extension adds a "mute" button next to everyone's handle when viewing a thread. Click the mute button and that user's posts will be hidden in every thread
from your view. You can unmute people from the extension's menu.
Limitations:
- It won't hide muted users who are quoted within another user's post
- It only works on Chromium desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). No desktop Firefox, desktop Safari, or any mobile browser.
So far I haven't had any issues using it but if anyone spots a problem I could push an update.
Enjoy.

However, good work! I'm sure many will still put it to good use
Only if we can get Mike Tyson's or Morgan Freeman's titty sprinkles voice.
Very creepy
Keep this in mind, folks, 'tis only a football message board!
Sometimes trolls can actually be funny.

Gross. The last thing I wanna hear is my dead dad reading me J. K. Rowling at 3 a.m.
It generated a lot of excitement and then became an all but abandoned feature within a month or so.
Thing is, it's not practical. It creates gaps that pique your curiosity and disrupt conversation threads.
It's hard enough following threads on BBI, which uses an antiquated system.
Think it’s still in the chrome store

we all provide voice samples and then the threads come out as discussions over your car radio. My car and phone already do this with texts, why not BBI?

Samuel L Jackson would be amazing. I love the children's book he narrated, Go to F#%k to sleep.

Ah that's the one. Oh well, now there's two. Thanks for the original idea!
