How do I block a member? I looked at the profile and I can't seem to find where I am able to do this. If I block them, will they still be able to send PM's? Sure I could ignore them but it's like when you drive by a horrific accident on the road, you have to look even though you really don't want to.

I really enjoy the forum, just new here and already starting to weed out members.

My signature has a link to where you go to add somebody to your ignore list.

They can still send you DMs, but they look different than DMs from other members:



You won't be able to see the DM subject, so you'll have to manually click on the "View Message" link to see it.

Problem i find with putting people on the ignore list is you have to keep taking them off the ignore list to see what they just said in a topic, as the flow of the topic is disrupted when you dont see all the posts..

You don't have to take someone off your ignore list to see hidden posts. I [temporarily] put you on my ignore list, and here's how your post appeared to me:




All I have to do is click on the "View Post" link and I can see your comment just like any other comment. All your other comments would remain hidden.
