On: Poll: Would you like to have "hide" button for stories

I wrote an extension that does just that - http://swapped.cc/iip

(edit) I should also add that I pitched the idea to pg about a year ago, never heard anything back. I pinged him again when I released the extension and didn't hear anything back either.
