Is there an 'Ignore User' feature?

It's gotten to the point where I've hit my limit when it comes to reading all the hate and bile that people who dislike product X (whatever that may be) refuse to quit spewing out by the gallon that I just want to click a button and never have to see their posts ever again. They're obviously trolls, and have no desire (or, seemingly, capacity) for rational discussion of the topics they constantly harp on (and on, and on...) about, and the time it would take to report each and every one of them would quickly exceed the time I spend reading useful posts.

I would love to just avoid the threads, but the haters continually jam their craw in every thread they can find, and proceed to whine and troll as hard and loud as they can. It's making the entire forum experience an exercise in frustration.

I know a lot of message board software can handle ignore functions, but they are sometimes a bit hard to get at - like when they're hidden as options within PM settings or friends settings.

If there is an ignore function, I'd love to know how to get at it, thanks.

Beside your name in your case AFossDDI there is a symbol of a head a shoulders. Click on that, you are sent to the users profile where the option to block exists. You confirm you wish to block.

That users posts no longer are displayed.

I hear you. There's having your say, and then there's abusing your say.

What they also need is what Facebook has. If you ignore someone, then they can't see your posts, which prevents them from commenting and trolling on you.

Thanks, Tsukino.
