Block posts from specific members
 

So, I've using these forums for a bit over a year and gotten some great advice here. But, I've run into something that is starting to be irritating. There are a couple of posters that tend to read through a whole bunch of threads and cherry pick posts that they want to dispute and proceed to pretty much tear them apart...and not always with correct info in their criticisms. So, as the thread title says, is it possible to block posts from specific posters so as to not even have to read their posts?

Indeed there is.
1. Go to one of the poster's posts.
2. Click on the poster's name in the left hand column and a menu will appear.
3. Go to the last item on the menu and click "Add poster to Ignore List".

Duh. Thanks SFO...won't be blocking you, lol.

ignore list is not really helpful, he or she can still reply and involved in your discussing , and others can still see that except for you. Is there a " blacklist" button here in this forum? That he or she can no longer reply to you or involved with your topics. I find this in other forums and very helpful.That's my suggestion.

I don't think that will really fly on FT. As a "public" forum, no real way to block users from interacting on a thread if they are able to post.

It's not likely to happen here, IMO.

But if there's post stalking, etc. going on, contact that forum's Moderators - the Senior Moderators if the forum has no appointed Moderators - so they can act as necessary.

See the FlyerTalk Rules (link) for more information about our rules and the disciplinary system. These apply to every member of FlyerTalk, rather than offering some kind of arbitrarily and individually imposed "blacklist" system.

Thanks for the reply. [Removed comments about individual moderator(s)]

A "true" ignore feature (would ignore quoted content)
 

Was wondering if it would be possible to tweak the "ignore user" feature. It's a little annoying to add a user to your "ignore" list and then have to read their posts/replies anyway when another user quotes them.

Nope. There is no code for this at all.

There used to be a Firefox extension that was a true ignore user solution, wiping out every vestige. But I don't see it in the current Firefox extension lineup.

Ignore lists
 

Is there any way that you can code FT (or is there some user option I don't know of) so:

(1) If someone on my Ignore List posts, I don't have a block telling me that I can't see the post cause the poster is on my Ignore List?

I don't want to know those people have posted. Just want nothing there, at all.

(2) If someone quotes someone on my Ignore List, I don't want to see the quote. I want to see......nothing.

Thanks.

There used to be an excellent Firefox extension that did exactly what you ask. But it's been gone for several years. Nothing currently similar or for Chrome that I have found.

Thanks. Maybe the folks running the site could chip in. I could cut a deal -- I won't block ads if I can block these people.

Or maintain a viewable list of "most ignored users". :eek:
