Here is a helpful Greasemonkey script that will make the Programmer's Haven a better place for you. It removes all posts by Muted and leaves a nice, blank space in their place to let you know that you are missing something.

Code
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Ignore Muted
// @namespace      http://asbands.d2jsp.org/
// @description    Ignores all posts made by Muted by making them invisible
// @include        http://forums.d2jsp.org/*
// ==/UserScript==
function takeoutPoster(posterName) {
   var posts = document.getElementsByTagName('fieldset').wrappedJSObject;
   for (var i = 0; i < posts.length; i++) {
       var post = posts.item(i);
       if (isPostedBy(post, posterName)) {
           post.style.visibility = 'collapse';
       }
   }
}

function isPostedBy(post, posterName) {
   var legend = post.firstChild;
   if (!legend) return false;
   else {
       var link = legend.firstChild;
       if (!link) return false;
       else if (link.innerHTML) {
           return (link.innerHTML == posterName);
       }
   }
}

takeoutPoster('Muted');

Neat. :)

A perma-squelch for forums - I've only seen that on one other forum, it was extremely helpful too.

Using a programmer's ingenuity to fix a problem. I like it.

I don't know GreaseMonkey or javascript that well but wouldn't a more complete solution be filtering by the userid in the url part? You never know, the user in question could change their name (but not their ID).

That's what google is for.
Also copy & paste.

It doesn't fix any problems, only creates one: Removes the posts of a good poster.
To fix a problem would remove the posts of say, rockonkenshin and ASBands!

I didn't think that people were allowed to change their user name. In any case, if that happens then it is pretty easy to change the file or add more people to the list. ;)

Yeah, it's apparently a newish FG feature. It should be just as easy as grabbing the user profile url and stripping out everything after the last '='.

Hmm, I don't know if it was my browser but I had to make a couple of tweaks to get it to work. I've only tried to pick up on web programming the past week or so.

Code
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Ignore Muted
// @namespace      http://asbands.d2jsp.org/
// @description    Ignores all posts made by Muted by making them invisible
// @include        http://forums.d2jsp.org/*
// ==/UserScript==

function takeoutPoster(posterName) {
  var posts = document.getElementsByTagName('fieldset').wrappedJSObject;
  for (var i = 0; i < posts.length; i++) {
      var post = posts.item(i);
      if (isPostedBy(post, posterName)) {
          post.style.visibility = 'collapse';
      }
  }
}

function isPostedBy(post, posterName) {
  var legend = post.firstChild;
  if (!legend) return false;
  else {
      var link = legend.firstChild;
      if (!link) return false;
      else if (link.innerHTML) {
          return (rtrim(link.text) == posterName);
      }
  }
}

function rtrim(stringToTrim) {
return stringToTrim.replace(/\s+$/,"");
}
