Yo, choosing Admin to make a new admin thread?
Doesn't work.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

If it's not me, I'll claim it. I agree with it and I like the phrasing. Sure, all unattributed clever things are now mine! The truth is out, I am Anonymous!
What would I have to learn to start working on a filter?
I don't want this to get lost and I am dead serious. What does someone need to know? I am ready to ask favors of people I know. I am ready to start learning stuff at night and on weekends.
mySQL and PHP.
msbelle, are you a coder at all? If you're not, it's probably not a good place to start. At all.
I'm not, only done a teeny tiny bit of HTML. But! I know people. Lots of them in fact. Wasn't someone's hubby doing some stuff at some point? Would bringing in someone be allowed?
Burrell's DH is on the list. But we're kinda stalled right now, lacking a bit of organisation and a central code repository. Jon and I have worked out how to work around each other, but it's not a system that can support other people.
If anyone else can volunteer to host a CVS system, we don't need to wait for Karl to get free time that we will then steal from him.

What does this mean?
Is it logical to discuss the underlying code, just speculatively, here?
I mean, if we were all allowed to MARCIE just one other person, it'd be easy, because showthread.php could just get a clause like:
if($poster == $marcied_poster){ next; }
or whatever, but presumably we get more than one?
So we need a new joining-table of some kind? A table like
MARCIE-erMARCIE-eeJohn HRebecca Lizard
(if I were ever to MARCIE Rebecca) only with numbers of course?
What does this mean?
CVS is a code versioning software that runs (primarily, I think) on Unix boxes, and allows pretty granular control and status info that allows a distributed team of programmers to work together with minimal shedding of blood and loss of code with stomping on.
And yes, John, it would work like that. We didn't pick a maximum number of filters/user, and we have designed the in-thread look of the feature, but there'll also need to be a page where you can see a list of who you've marcied and be able to unblock them.
