Need button to hide threads in zero replies

This ability has existed for a very long time and is explicitly mentioned in post #2 (and he responded to it directly).

Therefore this policy you're talking about by way of removing items from the zero reply list to suit your needs is something you are already doing.

The LQ Rules are pretty clear on not posting if you don't have something constructive to add. That said, we're getting very near the point where political topics are going to be explicitly banned for a period of time. I was against doing this and have avoided it up until now, but the shear volume and nature of them is becoming untenable.

It is how I roll lately. Just can't be helped lately.

Yes but at lease one of the users doing the posts I'm talking about is a moderator (not the one replying in this thread). Ignoring a moderator might cause problems later.

I know who you're talking about. Immediately after he was made a moderator, I contacted Jeremy privately about that decision and pointed out the posting history that he already had.

When I tried to add that moderator to my ignore list, the forum told me I couldn't ignore a moderator.

While you cannot ignore a mod, all rules still apply to mods. Feel free to contact me directly if you ever feel there's an issue in that regard. Note that mods probably shouldn't be participating heavily in General, so that's a separate issue I'm happy to discuss.
