Reading LWN and wishing there was a function to filter out comments by a certain commenter.
(If you know you know)

@neverpanic @jzb @mxk Comment filtering has been supported on LWN for years; all you need is a professional subscription.

@lwn @neverpanic @jzb then I haven't found the UI for it! (Obviously I have my employer pay for lwn!)

@mxk @neverpanic @jzb You should see a "Mute User" button at the top of a comment in the "header" area. Do you not see that?

@lwn @mxk @neverpanic @jzb I cannot find "Mute User" button. But I can find the feature from https://lwn.net/MyAccount/commfilters/
From the web UI, I can go to the page by clicking my account name, and then "Edit filtering" button.

@lwn @jzb Seems the button is shown only when the filtering feature is enabled. I didn't enable filtering before. After enabling filtering using the "Enable filtering" button on https://lwn.net/MyAccount/ I can show the "Mute user" button on comments. Thank you for letting me know this!
