Blocking threads from someone?

Song

Is it possible to block threads from one person so that you don't see them? 

I find posts from one person offensive, it's just me I think, but I would rather not be upset by them.

I don't read them once I have worked out it is them but wondered if I could just not see them?

  • I hope it's not me that you want to block. Smiley

    I actually understand how you feel,. Often someone's comments and opinions ( even if they are not directed at me) upset me so much. That I just don't want to read anything they have to say for a long time.

    I would like to see a time specified blocking feature.  After a week or so I calm down and I would like to remove the blocks.

  • I understand why you ask the question, I even think I know who the individual is!

    maybe the NAS moderators should make it compulsory to choose an actual name rather than sticking with the NAS number given when you first join. It doesn’t have to be a personal name after all! Anything other than a number.

    I often have to scroll back through longer threads to make sure just who is replying to who, the numbers can be quite similar. 

    I must admit it is nice to see certain familiar names as usually I know it will be informative and often quite useful, 

    I wish you well song, and thank you for being one of the names I enjoy reading, we all share certain traits and together we can give support even if it is just understanding and being here to listen.

  • I don't know of any way to block Threads from your screen view but I don't think it's possible the way this site is set up because it's accessing a public site rather than (like Facebook) opening your own private account on a site. I don't know how to contact a Mod. but, if you do, they might know of some sort of compromise so that those threads are locked to you after you log on? Maybe ...
