A Universal Block

[Paulbot]

It's all theoretical and dependent on what's possible in the current version of the board's software (which is two major versions behind so don't hold your breath) but it's a bad sign of how far this forum's mood has fallen when we have to get this stage where this is necessary because people can't stand criticism.

I've never blocked anyone, so can anyone tell me if you have blocked someone and they start a thread, can you see it? Would you even know the thread existed as others replied?

Criticism I can stand, certain individuals I cannot.

I put you on my ignore list to see what would happen, Paul.
I can see that you've started a thread, but I can't see the actual body -just tells me that you're on my ignore list. I can also see others posting on your thread


I can also see, as previously discussed, Phantom quoting you, but your original post still displays the ignore list message.

Good to know, I guess. I wonder if you can see this reply or if I'm still blocked?!

This messageboard can only block people's posts from being seen by you, not block people from seeing your posts. It was something looked into a while ago when we had a member who was targeting someone else with harassing posts - it resulted in just having to ask them to not directly engage the other person on the board... which they didn't agree to, because they felt that the other person should have had the same restriction, as if it was a penalty.

OK, cheers for the clarification

I'd call you a grumpy old man, but you're not old.

You only got one of the three correct. The question is which one?
