I brought up a point were you could block a user form commenting on your profile.Everyone said that it could decrease spam as well as flaming and all of them are correct. What if we made this......

But of course of saying "Remove Friend" it would say "Block User From Thread".

What do you think?

That sounds pretty good actually juan. In the zombie survival club, we get alot of spam, and that could help stop it. Only bad thing, couldnt someone make a place for only him and his friends? I mean mods could break it no matter what but still.

Right he was insulting and being annoying?
Well what if we could block him form the thread until we unlock him whenever we want him too?Maybe people would just block certain users because they don't like them but that can be solved if you tell a mod.

How about they have to post once before you can block them from it?

What do you mean?You mean that if they post the first time and they spam really badly,you could block them?

Not at all... this wouldn't be useful or fair... it should be bannig or nothing.
Why? Because banning a user from a thread wouldn't be useful in any way... if the user disobeys the rules of the Forums/Site than they will be dealt with accordingly...

I would like this and the "Block User from Profile" idea implemented too. Both seem really good ideas, and it would benefit greatly. We don't want more trash on the forums, it was dirty enough as it was without his ilk...

I got the DM for poetry and have to put that as my sig in all posts.




You didn't answer my questions - well, would you have to be the thread creator? Or would just you not be able to see him there? Could anyone do it?


And yes, some people will block everyone 'cept their friends... But I reckon it would help!!

You can't really block EVERYONE, just as many people as is possible. It would help, obviously I would ban spammers, because they don't need to leech me for any reason! If you block the right person, the spam rate for your profile will go down! If the moderators block the right user for a specific thread, the spam rate will go down there as well! (Having this tool will prevent the risk of migraines and twitching)

The only person that could be able to block users is the thread creator.

I don';t think you really understand what we're saying here.If they get blocked not banned then the less spam there will be.

I don't really know a lot about coding.We need a mod to get into this conversation.I think this IS important.I don't want to repeat myself i already said why.

I understand... I accidently wrote 'ban' instead of 'block'.

Yet what would blocking a User from a thread achieve? Less spam? Maybe, yet if the User is going to spam won't they just continue to spam elsewhere?

Blocking a user is about the same coding as adding a friend or game and deleting comments. It's storing information to your profile knowing that you don't want that user to be seen on the forums, so his message won't show up. Now for some reason that you want that users' comments to be seen again, you can delete the code just like deleting a friend and game from the list. It makes me wish that this was here last night. I had to take 2 Tylenol to get rid of the pain.
