I'm gonna agree with hg on this one.

The "Filter Out" function doesn't address the issue. It requires that one exercise an option to NOT view the BS section. That's backwards. It would be far more newcomer-friendly to have to exercise an option TO view the BS. "Filter Out" also requires a modicum of familiarity with how things work around here, and that's something a newcomer doesn't have. By the time a noob figures out how to avoid the BS, he's already stepped in it.

There's already a "BS/Non-music threads below" button, but all it does is scroll down the page. Why not change its function? Make clicking it a requirement to access the BS section. Then, if someone get's offended by what's there, tough shit. Nobody made him click the button.
