How to block a member?
- Thread starter R.T.J.
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I believe he is actually a she. However, to simply use the ignore feature [See attachment below], click on said username and click ignore, then you cannot see any of their post(s). And whatever you do, do _not_ click ‘show ignored content’.

There was no need to name a member that you wish to block, and is not something we permit, i.e., I'm blocking member xyz. RP above provided the steps to block the content of the member

Blocking hides comments so you don’t have to read them unless you wish to. It does not change their functionality. Unless they break the TOS and have their posting privileges revoked of course they can still post comments. And yes they can even still leave a positive or negative reaction face to your comments. ??♂️
People ought to remember:
Don’t be so self focused.
Everyone gets rejected sometimes.
Don’t let others get to you.
If all else fails have the inner strength to avert your eyes.
Developing those traits will yield better returns.
Wise words at the end. At the end of the day, it’s a forum, can’t take stuff personally. Thanks for the info.
Hide reactions of ignored users
Would it be possible to have the post reactions of ignored users not be seen? I’m sure all of us have people on our ignore list that for whatever reason we just don’t jive with and the forum is such a better place when you can place those people out of sight and out of mind completely. This is...

True.
The request to hide reactions is a silly waste of effort in my opinion. But if MR wants to put resources to it they can knock themselves out. Saying no can be an appropriate reply. As a matter of fact, parents ought to say it more often…but I digress.
Unfortunately they can react and you'll see it, personally I'd rather not see them reacting to my posts, I ignore them for a reason.
It's not silly, I ignore certain people and I don't care to see them reacting to my posts, I ignore them for a reason.
How am I agreeing with you when you said it was a waste of resources? It's not, I don't want to see some jackhole which I blocked, reacting to my posts.
There's a user who reacts with a laughing emoji at all my posts. Of course I've ignored them but what they're doing is a form of harassment and there's no way out of it. There should be a block feature on this site.
Beyond the use case I mentioned, people have brought up having a stalker who follows them from site to site and there's no way to prevent them from seeing the victim's posts, nor are they doing anything against the TOS so they can't be banned.
Solution: introduce a block feature please.
If you feel a user is harrassing you via reactions, send a report and we'll take a look. Harrassment isn't allowed.
Users who are being stalked can also contact us so we can work together to discuss different solutions.
I've experienced the same.
It's why I started the other thread asking to be able to not see reaction emoji's from folks who are on your ignore list.
Folks who do trolling know they can get around any "being ignored" by emoji trolling.
It's a big hole in the experience here.
A legit "completely blocking everything about someone" feature would be so welcome (ala reddit .. where the user is just "gone").
I'd honestly become a paying MR member if that were a feature offered.
I had that exact same issue with a user who was always "HaHa!" my posts via the reaction. However, I learned that the jokes on them, as each "HaHa" is actually a +1 to my reaction score. Not that I care, but according to mods and admins, it helps visibility.
