Ignorinng obnoxious posters

This is an AI summary of the 'Add Foe' function. I hope it is accurate because I want to de-clutter some of the threads that I like.
If this is not accurate, please add any/all corrections.

In phpBB, the "Add Foe" feature allows you to ignore specific users. When you add someone as a foe, any posts they make will be automatically hidden from your view, decluttering your forum experience.You can add a user to your foe list using either of the following methods:

Method 1: From the User's Profile Click on the username of the person you want to ignore to open their profile.
Look for the link or button that says "Add Foe" (usually located at the bottom of their profile data or near their avatar).
Click it to confirm the user is added to your list.

Method 2: From the User Control Panel (UCP)Click on your username at the top right of the forum page and select User Control Panel.
Navigate to the Board Preferences tab, then select Friends and Foes.
Click Manage Foes (or locate the direct entry field).
Type in the member name and click Submit to add them to your list.

How it Works
Hidden Posts: Topics and replies from users on your foe list are automatically collapsed. Instead of the full post, you will see a notice stating "This message is from a user who is currently on your foe list" with an option to reveal it if you change your mind.

Private Messages: By default, the foe list only hides posts. If a user on your foe list is still able to send you unwanted Private Messages (PMs), you can block them by setting up a message rule in your User Control Panel.

While I will roll my eyes at the use of AI,
Fortunately, I haven’t had to use that.
Sorry if you have
Good knowledge to spread.
But also, my experience with the admin has been positive in the past, so that’s also an option.
But if it’s specific/personal, and you’d rather handle it through your own means, I see how it’s useful.
Thanks
