the muting implementations on most clients leaves a lot to be desired, i quit having a mute list recently because most of the most frequent ones i encountered in replies to other people's mossages stopped being so fucking irritating that idc anymore and don't want to click unhide all the time
but if the things actually worked and pruned off threads properly how you should expect i wouldn't have come to this, and mute lists are very easy to implement too, but idk, maybe i've spent too long in here, doesn't really seem like it's very often i need help ... usually just some asshole posting gay porn photos that's about it, they do it once and then i never see them again
