Default Blocking a poster

Is there a way to add a poster to a list so that I no longer see his/her posts?

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

Thank you

Click on the poster's name, "view public profile", "user lists", "add to ignore list".

Thank you.

I thought I had tried that weeks ago, yet I'm still seeing his/her posts.

Regardless, I shall give it a go and hope for the best :-)

Click on "user CP" and then "edit ignore list". You should see the posters that you are ignoring. If not, type in the user's name manually.

Just remember, even if they’re on your ignore list if someone quotes them you will still see their nonsense.

True.

But now you see NOTHING. A thread will show five posts but you only see four of these with no indication that there is a fifth. That is if a poster is on your Ignore List.

Cross-thread Violation.

Thankfully I haven’t seen a post for a long time from the one poster I would strongly consider blocking : ) Last time I responded to one of his posts I spent a month in the penalty box : (

You also won't see threads started by them, nor will you see a complete page, if the first post on that page was from a blocked poster.

I know that seems a little odd, but that's the way it seems to work.

The poster is on my "Ignore List"

but his/her threads are still showing in "Today's Posts"

yet if I click on one it says "This thread is hidden as the poster is on your ignore list"

So I still see the threads, but can't read them. Since just seeing them is the annoying aspect I might as well take him/her off my ignore list.

Anyway, thank you all for your help

Avocado was my favorite.

I never blocked him/her, I jus played along.
He/she might be back with new County elections.
