Judging from the number of threads in which half of the posts are complaining about how boring the subject matter is and that it has been covered hundreds of times, I would say "Yes".

I agree that too many times that is very true. Making a review of the top 6 current threads with more than 50 replies in "General Discussion" and "Non Villages Discussion" I noted the following: 19 of 70 replies (28%) were by 3 people; 21 of 52 (41%) by 2 persons; 28 of 76 (37%) by 3 people; 28 of 61 (46%) by 3 people; 73 of 177 (42%) by 6 people; and 14 of 58 (25%) by 2 persons. I have found that usually the informational value of a thread is quickly diluted by a high proportion of repeating posters.

Lots of people I disagree with but many can disagree in a friendly manner. Others do not seem to want to do so.

That might be one of the funniest posts I've ever seen on here. And very subtle. I think a lot of people missed it.

Keep in mind this is a discussion forum, not a "one comment" forum. When there is an actual discussion going on, rather than pointless random comments, posters will be going back and forth to continue the discussion. Now if someone just keeps repeating the same thing over and over, well, that is just annoying. Almost as annoying as the pointless random comments.

Yes, I know I can just not open his/her posts but I would rather not be tempted to reply to them!

Thank you

I have some folks blocked and what I see is a much more compassionate talk of the villages. Much more pleasant to read.

Now what I might have missed from doing blocking is that somebody responded to your request. Otherwise, from what I saw was nobody gave you a detailed step by step response to your question

I don't know the answer to your question either but you can search all forums on blocking users and you will surely find the answer yourself.

Good luck
