Do as **runner pat** says to use the board’s inbuilt ignore feature. However, the inbuilt feature has some limitations. If you prefer a more comprehensive ignore feature, consider this Firefox add-on: **[FfvB - vBulletin Management for Firefox 2.2.5](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7023)** - **xash** Administrator ---

Yes, there is. - Go to the profile of the user you want to ignore - In the upper right hand corner of their profile page, you’ll see a blue button, with an icon that looks like a person, which probably says “Normal” right now. Click on that button. - You’ll have three options there: “Normal,” “Muted,” and “Ignored.” Choose the latter, as this will keep you from seeing any of their posts or replies. - It’ll then give you a range of options for how long you want to ignore them; the very last option on that list is “Forever,” which is a perma-ignore. ---

That seems to be an even faster way – thank you, @JRDelirious!
