Popular Post Neeranam Posted September 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2023 Looking through a recent topic I posted, I see there are many posts written by members I have put on ignore. On things like TV/AN there will always be members we have nothing in common with or don't like. Facebook has a good system, where you can block people from seeing your posts or contacting you, I think it would be a good idea here. I don't like the idea of people I don't want anything to do with commenting on what I post publicly. What do you think? 1 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking about ignore, that's a good tool. If I want to converse with like-minded members, It is not a good user experience when ignored users join in. I can't see what being an adult has got to do with it. I am trying to offer something to help the forum become more popular. Perhaps one change could be to stop ignored users' post been seen when someone else replies to them. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a feature of the forum software so not even an option. You have ignore, you have Block on a PM. As for the rest, I suggest you just turn a blind eye and simply scroll on as most do. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted September 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2023 I don't believe that any member should be able to pick and choose who can read/respond to their posts. For example, someone could post critical information that is important to all but some users would be blocked from reading it. At the end of the day it's just an online forum full of anonymous posters. Some members just need to not rise to the bait and focus on the really important things in their lives. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Given the found nowhere else on earth preponderance of self-proclaimed Mensa member genius's here, I can't afford to block anyone. It's just so weird that the world's intellectual 1% all live in cheap condo's, living on less money than a postman's salary, and are dating women with 9th grade educations. It's gotta be a long game genius-thing, no? Whatever it is, I know going in that I'm not smart enough to understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
