Thought Provoking Stories: Allow filters

[shadykay]

Though I downvote categories/topics/people time after time after time, I still see stories about those things I have downvoted repeatedly.  And when I do downvote, a little popup says thanks for the feedback, we'll show fewer of those stories.  NOT TRUE!  It would be great if the downvote button actually worked, or better yet, allow us to enter names/words which we don't want to see.

I would appreciate a filter / "hide" option that would let me hide (block) stories from sources (such as CBS News) detect and object to my use of an ad blocker.  Even Google, the king of junk ads, allows me to do that, why doesn't firefox?
