Blocking members

[jiminwatford]

Is there anyway to stop particular members form posting in threads you start?

 

[custard]

no,you can only block seeing their posts
use this

for posts you have a problem with and they will be reviewed

Is that theads they start, or when they post in other's threads as well? can they be 'made invisible' from me when they post in a thread i start?

thanks

The whole idea of a forum is to let everyone have their say rightly or wrongly.......

remember you don't own a thread, as soon as a thread is posted it it property of the forum as in the rules

Ironically as an old git & realy quite new to the on line stuff like forums, I find it a bit funny that some of the young team dont know much about forums per say

Im certainly no expert & can remember a time when we had to actually speak to each other face to face, but that's a different story, & a comment I made in another thread that was deleted

To be very honest, at times I realy cant believe how serious some take the ramblings of people they have never met, & dont agree with what they have said

I still however comfort myself with the knowledge that almost all on here have a love of Fiat motor vehicles......

You can already do this. Click "User CP" up the top, then in the next menu (down the left) click "Edit Ignore List" and add their names ...

:yeahthat: But some threads can start to not make sence when bit's are left out

 

[jimboy]

To be honest, half the fun is reading all the daft bits in a thread.
Whether you agree with them or not.

But to the point by watford jim, the only way to prevent a member from posting in a thread, whether you choose to view his post or not, is to have that member placed in a group that has no posting rights - or be yourself able to start a thread in a section that restricts followup postings by sub-human members - such as news.

The only way to stop someone posting on your thread is to break into their house in the middle of the night and..... no wait...can't do that anymore.

The forum is as open as we can make it, while keeping in the spirit of the forum. The only place you have some control on who can post is in the social groups.
