How To Block Someone On New Interface?

[Pattaya Spotter]

How do you block a member so you don't get their replies?

[Moonlover]

Hover your cursor over their avatar until their details pop up. at the bottom you'll see the 'ignore user' option. Click on that and it will take you to your 'ignore users' page. Tick the details you want and save.

 

I do it a lot. ????

This method can't be done on mobile devices I guess...no way to "hover" a finger ????

Thanks...this method can be used on mobile devices. Just zapped a pesky member ????

[RichCor]

On mobile tap the ≡ menu, select ACCOUNT and then IGNORED USERS

True. I didn't think of that as I don't use the mobile app. But it looks like you got there anyway. ????

If you are having a problem with someone use the report function, ignoring someone will not stop you seeing their post if someone else quotes it.

 

Moderators are always on hand to assist if problems persist.

I don't mind seeing blocked members op's or engagement with other members. I just don't want them to be able to engage with my content. I think blocking them accomplishes this.

It doesn't.

If you add a member to your "ignored" list and select all options, including "posts" and "mentions," I assume I won't see their posts or their replies to any of mine. Is that correct? I don't really care if they can still see and reply to my posts if I don't see them.

While we are here not looking to block anyone but where is the "My Activity" gone ?????

You'll get 80% of the way there then. Only time you'll see the person in questions posts will be if someone quotes them.

You have to go into your profile to access it now. "Improvement" seems to have a different definition to developers than to me

Can I stop a particular poster from sending me PMs?

If so how?

I do not want to use the "ignore" function  (which I do not really know how it works - any help there anyone?) as I really like reading the posters comments but do not want any interaction with it (the poster I mean!).

See the bit above in this thread about 'hovering' over the user's avatar & clicking 'ignore user'; that lets you block 4 separate kinds of interaction with the user, including just PMs.

Using the ignore feature is a good method to reduce the rampant toxicity that’s allowed and taken over the forum. Though I don’t think it’s used enough by members. Unfortunately there’s no way to completely block a user which in my opinion would bring much more civility to the forum. Certainly hope the architects of the site would consider this option.
