           Summary: block authors in rss feeds (akregator)
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ylevinsen at yahoo.no


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Just an idea I came up with (don't know if it has already been suggested,
couldn't find it). If you find it useless, please say so (and why) in the
comments...

Certain rss feeds gets bloated by some persons, though you'd often like to read
the other entries in the feed. In my case the example is a feed in my company
where everyone can put up ads for selling/buying stuff. Some people are
spamming this list with 10-20 entries at the time (from one person selling for
people outside the company). Now, if Akregator had a nice feature to block
authors for a given rss feed, it would make this feed about 5 times more useful
for me according to my calculations.

In general I think there are many situations where you are only interested in a
few authors on a feed, or that there are a few authors you consider to be
uninteresting people for some strange reason.
