A "Hide Thread" button to manually hide threads on the user's end (avoiding troll/bait threads)

[Ren]

Give us a "hide thread" option so users who don't care for bait/troll threads can just hide them. This way don't they occupy space on the front page of discussions.

Maybe blocking does this (didnt test) but having to block users over this seems like overkill.

Blocking the user does this already.

Blocking users does indeed "hide" threads but imo the way it's currently implemented is not an ideal solution. It simply shows the thread as "Topic by blocked user" while still taking up space on the threads list, imo there should be an advanced hide to not show the thread at all, because if you block someone who spams a lot of topics in a forum then it's not really fixing anything...
