Woo Hoo! I did it. "The creator of this thread is on your block list". Thank you Nicole in TX for asking this question! ETA: well not THIS thread, but one that I've been trying to un-see.

Ok that was weird, when I first pulled it up following the directions above that 5th option wasn't available, but I refreshed and now it is. Also I was able to unblock Nicole in TX , I see you again! *waves*

Now if there was only a way to block a blocked person's post when they're quoted/copied a zillion times. Ah, well, life is never perfect. Seriously, though, I find that if my ignored person starts really filling up a thread with posts, I lose interest in participating anyway. So I just walk away from it and then I don't have to see the quotes either.

I just want to know if I'm the person everyone is blocking. Cuz I'm not paranoid or anything. Me too. Maybe I'm a little narcissistic thinking every negative thread is about me? I'm dying to know who you want to block

I only have one person blocked, and it's because she's mean. However, whenever I come across a thread she's commented in I always opt to display her post so I can confirm my decision to block her. I feel like blocking her is my little silent victory.

It is no one on this thread. I love hearing from the vast majority of you, even when our opinions differ greatly. It is someone who has recently been frequenting the board just to post inflammatory crap. Who needs that?

Now if there was only a way to block a blocked person's post when they're quoted/copied a zillion times. It defeats the purpose of ignoring them in the first place, doesn't it? I pointed it out once in response to people saying over and over to just ignore or scroll past. I was told I must have control issues for daring to point out that the ignore function here doesn't work like it does on some other boards. I even messaged admin about it but never heard back. I figure her hands are tied by what proboards offers anyway.

I don't think the blocking works on the Tapatalk app, which is the way I usually read/post to the board. I can block people from my computer, but their posts still show in the app.

Yes I have one person's threads blocked. Last year this person was creating a new thread daily! I don't want to engage with crazy. She deleted her account but came back with a new account. I don't see the blank message on the NSBR board that often anymore so I guess she's slowed down. Unfortunately when I'm on my phone her threads aren't blocked and I will click on an innocent thread title and realize nope this is not a legitimate conversation.

I'll just end up seeing everything anyhow! i have to say, that having a few people ignored now, after never having them previously, that really doesn't wind up being the case here all of the time. I don't know if less people quote the inflammatory/mean/etc. stuff, or if more people are ignoring the same few I am, or if things are just a little less crazed here, or a combo, but there are only a few times when I feel like I am seeing the quotes a whole lot. Mostly I really don't notice it to be an issue much.

I can't be bothered to block anyone, there isn't really anyone here who annoys me that much for it to be necessary. But I don't open every thread either, or sometimes I'll just skim the first post & maybe not read the rest

I don't have anyone blocked. I only get irritated when certain people arrive in a thread and start to totally dominate it or change it's course....I feel like saying, hey this discussion was fine before you waded in and started taking over - again! Hey ho! I just tend to leave at that point

I feel like blocking her is my little silent victory. I also have only one person blocked because she is just so mean and I decided that if I knew her in real life I would walk away so I decided I should do the same on here. And you know what? It is far more enjoyable for me now. If I see her quoted now I keep moving an don't even read because I know there is no hope for her changing. I wonder if several of us have the same person blocked and if they woudl ever figure it out. I am betting this person wouldn't care and would continue typing to herself lol.

I know the blocking is working well for me when, every so often, I think "Wow, I haven't seen AnyBlockedPea post in ages!", and then I remember. "Duh, woman! You blocked AnyBlockedPea."

i don't need to block any one...but i sure wonder why people create the thread titles they do i wish they would give it a moment's consideration gina I am not sure what titles can be so bad that you say this but I personally like thread titles that actually indicate what is in the thread. Sometimes the vague titles "I have a question" or "What do the peas think of this" means you have to click on it just to see if it's a conversation you want to participate in etc.

For a while, it kept being pushed back to the top of page one. There are certain people, no matter what the thread title, who I don't want to waste my time on.
I will say, now that I have blocked the threads, I do find myself wondering what they say! LOL

Especially when it is something like, "I am looking for the BEST airfare from Zimbabwe to Jamaica." Or something that one person on the entire board maybe able to answer, but 100s of us will waste time clicking on the post.

Wow. I must be half blind, because I don't remember seeing any of these types of threads here, and I don't have anyone blocked.
Now if I did block anyone it would be the meanest person here. I'm guessing she's the same person others deem too mean to deal with.

I've always thought that it would be a good idea if every member had an indication in her profile of how many people have blocked her. Not WHO, just how many. I have just enough optimism left in me to think that knowing that information just might be a catalyst for change.

I had a lot of people blocked at 2Peas, but here, there is just that one hateful person. I honestly truly feel so sorry for her because she sounds like the most miserable human being ever. There are two or three OTT, but they're not mean, they're just a little neurotic. Slightly off topic - did you ever read that mean, mean site where people wrote the most hateful things about 2Peas posters? It was awful and I really wonder how people feel comfortable with themselves being so awful. Of course, they were all anonymous.

Save Go to Profile click Edit Profile on the right Choose the Privacy Tab Under Member Block List, type in the name of the member, when you select that member they are added to the blocked list 5 options come up The last option is block this member's threads Instead of reading their thread title it will say this member has been blocked or something like that. admin - is the 'block member's threads' no longer an option? When this thread was posted in January, I followed these instructions and was able to block threads. Today I tried to do this once again and it does not give that 5th option. Just wondering if the ability to do this has been removed. Thanks! ETA: After I posted this I realized that it was started by NicoleinTX. I haven't seen her around in ages. Hope all is well with her.
