Anyway to stop notifications from blocked users?

FarleyUK

Is there a way to:

1. Stop getting notifications when someone you block replies to a thread you've started
2. Completely remove that blocked user's comment from your view (I know it collapses it, but can it be set so that they are not visible at all)?

1.  No, but you don't have to see or read whatever they've posted.
2.  The only thing that's visible to you is that they have posted.  You have to click to see what they've posted.

And (before you ask)
3.  No, you can't block a thread started by a blocked user, nor block their initial post in a thread that they start.

They're actually "ignored" rather than "blocked" which is perhaps why 1 and 2 operate as they  do.

Just don't open the comments you see from the people you've blocked. Simples!

Oh, and ...

4.  No, you can't suppress  a post from an ignored user, if someone you haven't ignored then quotes it.

What if the person quoting the person on ignore is quoted?

does everyone see it?

Yes.

That is certainly what would happen on the Seymour Duncan User Group forum.

My two penn'orth is that ignoring other forumites is almost always futile. Any contribution they make in a Discussion is likely to alter the course of the Discussion. It is desirable to follow the entirety of the thread before commenting.

If the ignore/block is in reaction to some slight (real or imagined), it is probably better to resolve any differences of opinion directly via PM.

Attention seekers are constantly looking for ways to penetrate your defences and get themselves noticed. May of them just get more and more obnoxious until someone responds. They don’t mind what the response is as long as they have caught, and can continue to get, your attention.
