Modify profile -> Buddys/Ignore List -> Ignore user
Thank you! This works perfectly.
I thought about doing this too. Makes me sad to click on a thread now when I see who's posting.
Yeah, that's pretty much what prompted this. I started reading a thread created by this user without realizing it until I was about halfway down the page... I don't always look at the username of who is posting something.
It just seems like you lose context with any sort of 'hide user'. Yeah... I know... it can be frustrating. I think the best method is to just read it and not reply. (And yes, I don't always follow my own advice.)
Just tested this feature. It replaces the user's post with a message that says: "You are ignoring this user. Show me the post." (the last part is a link that temporarily unhides that specific post). Also, I still see the content when other people quote that user.
Mod Note: If you find that any one is tolling and violates our forum rules:http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/forum-information-faqs/forum-rules/ Please use the "report to mod" function, or send any one of us a PM - with links and details. Our number 1 rule is "Don't be a jerk" which gives us a fair amount of latitude - if we know something is going on.
When no specific rules are being broken but someones majority of interactions within the community are negative, we build up a history that shows a pattern of behaviour before we ban.
Thanks. I don't think this particular user has broken any rules... But I also don't think anything positive is coming from their posts. At least, I feel there is no benefit for me in reading them.
