Red, that same 'ignore users' button that prevents PMs will also cause your (or at least MY) browser to skip over postings by the person to be ignored. I have used that feature and that's how it worked for me (in fact, I didn't realize it would block PMs. Learn something new every day).
By the way, if you want to ask Jinn how (or whether) to do something, the best way is to send him a PM...unless he's got you on his 'ignore' list...
