negativity is a pervasive CB attitude of late. If you want to read it, you're in luck. it's everywhere. If you don't want to read that stuff, you can target specific posters and ignore them forever (does anyone turn the ignores back on?)/ So someone says something rude or has a bad week and they stay on the ignore list forever. The ignore filter also plays into this giving each poster a "Score" we can filter around but I don't trust people's rationale for ignoring people which calls into question the ignore score. Some don't ignore anyone, and others, like TNT, ignores people if they so much as hint he can't date their daughters.

I'd like to propose a negativity score and negativity post filter. in addition to thumbs up/thumbs down buttons, we could add a positive/negative post to indicate a critical or a positive post is. Over a 90 day window, those scores would dynamically change to show whether a particular poster is all sunshine and rainbows (ignore) or doom and gloom (ignore) and people can adjust their poster slider appropriately to read what they're after or leave the filter alone and read the spectrum. This might even help do away with the annoying "everyone is too critical" or "bronco supporters are blind" type posts.

Probably a fairly involved coding change, but allows people to read what they want without the broad-brush ignore button.
