EU1B1UE Posted February 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Greetings, Does this site allow another user to block someone instead of having to nag one of the Admins to look into a situation to come up with a fair solution? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted February 5, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2019 You don't have to actually cluck on it, if you point your cursor at their username a box sort of materialises magically with an option for "Ignore user" at the bottom of it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander CMG Posted February 5, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I agree with @seanjo on this. This is a discussion forum, don't take things personal, enjoy it for what it is or maybe look for another site to join, you have been back two minutes and are wanting to block members already, if you don't like what you read on here, just walk away, if someone gives you an unjustified hard time, report them to the Moderating staff, that's what they are here for. Just relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted February 5, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I guess it depends how thick skinned you are. I went for years without ever thinking of blocking anyone and then I blocked three all at once. The volume of their nonsense(which bordered on trolling), became unbearable. Blocking means that you can participate in the flow of a thread without the distractions. Some people here are criticising EU1B1UE for wanting to block people when she's only been back 5mns, but surely, if she's been here before she already knows who she wants to block from previous experience? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if she has been here before and knows who the 'toxics' are she would have blocked them last time? I was not meaning to critisise, was just a bit of a joke. Now you have hurt my feelings, i am hurtpressed, depressed, obpressed, sobpressed, gobpressed, urm.... impressed? I going to block you. . . . . Now where is that blooming thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you. Mind you not everyone has the same opinion as you neither did your opinion serve any purpose to my question. Good Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie.Lynne Posted February 6, 2019 #20 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sometimes, blocking isn't because one is thin-skinned, or feeling attacked. I have a user blocked for the simple reason that they post long meaningless rants that add nothing to the discussion at hand. Why should I have to scroll past 5 or 6 thesis-length posts that valueless to me when it is easier to block them? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted February 6, 2019 #24 Share Posted February 6, 2019 As the original question has already been answered, I think we can go ahead and close this down. If you have any other questions about the forum's functionality, feel free to start a new thread. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
