Title: Blocking from certain fourms
Post by: FOTEPX on February 28, 2011, 01:23:41 PM
I've noticed recently that many threads have been going off topic awfully quick recently. The only logical reason to prevent this, in my opinion, is to be able to Block certain people from certain threads. For example, let's say Serge was playing heck in one of my threads. I would simply be able to put his name in the block list, and he wouldn't be able to post in that thread from then onwards. Only Admins, Mods and the person who originally made the thread should be able to control this, mind.

That would cause problems. A more experienced member could potentially help in certain threads which you may have blocked them from.

Well, that's where the mods and admins step in. If they believe the ban to be unjustifiable, they will undo said ban.

I think that it should be restricted to technical advice and threads that aren't asking for people to laugh at.

No, I mean, only if it goes off-topic or if a flame war is going in said thread should a block really be placed on, not however the user sees fit...

If you want certain people out, start your own forum.

Yeah, give 'em MORE work to do, that'll be fun for them.
Seems pointless to me anyway, just gonna make things worse all round.

Hey FOTEPX, if your thread is in playground, be prepared for anything.

Wait, yes this is a good point.
FOTEPX, considering you off topic'd on Sparkey so you and your pal could flame his ass (without due provocation) this seems incredibly rich and a rather hypocritical as you soon after claimed that "It was a joke and it was in the playground". You meeting the problems yourself, now?

Lol I rather just have a blocklist of certain members so as to not see their post entirely.

How about anything that doesn't involve your ugly mug staring at me when ever I scroll down.

Also, adblock it. I do it for annoying avatar and signature images.

You can use adblock+, or you can turn off all the avatars/signatures/smileys like me.

FOTEPX shouldn't have such a pedobear avatar. And he should put some clothes on in his videos.

Terrible idea. If you don't like Serge's comments, don't read them. It's really that simple, kid.
