Add a Hide thread option

[Brian9824]

On the first post of the thread under report / block option add a hide thread option. This will help people clean up what they see and they won't have to bother with responding to ideas or threads they get offended by.

As mentioned by others this is an oft requested feature that would be quite useful

better get used to just ignoring them and not replying, even if you are feeling offended ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It appears you neglected to read the full thread before commenting. As also mentioned by myself and others it also applies to stuff you just don't care about. The current solution of ignoring it is an option, however fortunately steam provides a nifty place where we can discuss ideas to enhance the client and make it better.

Glad to see you also support the idea, hopefully we will get this one implemented.

That ones about posts, this thread is about threads. Blocking removes visibility of posts via collapsing by default.

funny how they restored my posts (after comlaining, still no reason why it was removed in the first place) because it didn't violate any rules just to remove my newest post without notification or reason.

Then they link me to their ToS and rules. I'm also not sure what the rules or ToS page should tell me? I didn't break any rules?

Maybe Support/Mods should have a look at EU/German law as i told them several times now and even linked to it.
Removal of posts and such have to be explained and comprehensive to the user. You know what that means Valve? Do you understand simple english?


Gosh, you mods/support are something else.

Think your in the wrong thread, this isn't about your drama with support. So i'll just put you down for being in favor of the idea.

Heh apparently others feel the same way

[sarcastic_godot]

I second the suggestion!

The signal-to-noise ratio in new, high end games can be abyssmal...

there is a option is to just not use the forum, i don't use it often maybe a hour a day at most and i don't even look at the windows 7 threads, most of the time i don't see them, and when i do i don't often comment.

nobody forces your eyes to read and go into thread, unless its a job or something. i don't see why you would want to inflict painful forum reading upon yourself.

none of us are robots there is no reason to hide anything when you can just look away and ignore things, pretend its your wife or your bills both have in the past been known to be ignored often by gamers.

It would be better if they just dealt with the problems like most forums do rather than letting trolls run rampant across the various sections of the forums.

Though with some of the people that insist on being on the front page by spamming threads or spam bumping threads, as much as I was originally not really for it, I can see why this could be a band-aid feature until they begin removing all the people blatantly trolling & award farming to deal with the issue permanently.

[76561199559798421]

are you telling us that stream after 20 years of service and countless and countless 100,000's of hours of forum discussions steam can't deal with trolls? Why is everyone a troll to you? people who have opinions are not trolls, if so wouldn't that make "everyone" on steam forums a troll?

its a troll if you go around calling everyone trolls showing no actual proof of trolling and just using trolling as a excuse to want to get your way.

Lets all just grow up a little, it steam forum, its steam, where scammers gather to steal game items, and where free players gather to play games, where nobody really uses the forum, and where you can buy a game for windows 7 but you can't play it on windows 7 in 2 months.

dude you just need to stop with the troll talk, your becoming a troll by continuing to make steam out to be incompetent about how it handles people.

Nobody is a troll your just paranoid over a forum, people have a opinion my man, deal with it like an adult please.

Sometimes band aids can be quite effective, it might not eliminate all the issues but its a step in the right direction

this would be nice. Much better than blocking OPs and walking around the threads from blocked users.

I'd give anything honestly to hide all the stupid topics that appear in the Team Fortress 2 boards, like people wanting skibidi toilet's in the game. Which alone has five topics on the front page.

I've suggested this before and I think that any option to just hide a thread without having to block a user would be a great feature. Sometimes it;'s the wording of the title or th topic itself (Windows 7) that just doesn't need to be in my personal view. Of course we can "ignore" such threads but it's much more convenient to not see them in the first place. :praisesun:

Yeah i'd love to hide all those windows 7 threads and just choose to never see them...

Alternatively, you can exercise some self control and refrain from opening them. Isn't that what people say about blocking?

It's still clutter on the frontpage. Say if you go to a board where biat and troll posts are frequently. I now have to shift through pages to find topics I'd actually be interested in engaging in.

Hiding topics completely that you have no interest in will do this, simply blocking all conversations and seeing everything listed as "Topic was created by someone you blocked" instead of what they actually posted does not.

Not to mention, you may not necessary want to hide everything the person who created a topic in the first place. Maybe it's just one particular thing on the front page that he created you're just not interested in.
