One or two downsides to blocking members
1. If you are subscribed to a thread and you read the email notification you see what they said
2. If someone else quotes them in a thread you see what they said

I just manually block people with selective eye movements.

I don't subscribe to threads...I don't even know how, I'm such a dimwit.
I only block one person and even though I do occasionally see what they've posted either by someone else quoting them or...as is more often the case...because my iPad doesn't block them (if anyone can tell me how fix this I'd be most appreciative) I try to refrain from commenting. Which I've done pretty well at except for one time recently when that posters comments were simply staggeringly, breathtakingly inane. Still, I should've just shoved my hands into my pockets and refused to type. Alas, I am as weak willed as I am dimwitted.

It sounds like you're probably viewing the mobile version of the site on your iPad. It has slightly less functionality than the full desktop version and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't implement your block list. If you want to block people on your iPad then try viewing the full version of the site. Click on the little icon in the top right corner of the screen, then click on the icon that says "full version." If you decide you don't like the full version on your iPad you can change it back by clicking on the "menu" button on the top right of the screen and changing the forum theme back to "mobile."

Why block them to begin with? Even if they repeatedly post crap, it's just a post. If there's no substance in what they're saying, it's very easy to just skip to the next post. I don't like to tax my little brain anymore than it needs to be........The Bouy automatically does that for me.

Xactly. I find it hard to believe how uptight people can get about the views of some anonymous internet persona that they don't even have to read or acknowledge.

I blocked myself so that I can disavow any knowledge of any posts I may or may not have made.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

You're welcome! The downside is of course that the full version is slightly harder to read on a mobile device, at least it is on my iPhone. But maybe it's OK on iPads.

I just changed my settings from "Full Version" to "Fantasy Version" and now the forum software works perfectly, everyone is polite upstairs, Bub just posted a tune in the very busy Song forum, there's no TOS in "Steve's Humour" forum, the X-Series forum is almost dead since there aren't any bugs and everyone is happy. Oh yeah, and ST3 is out!

I've never blocked anyone, I honestly don't see the point.
Reading the ill-thought out, illiterate and ignorant posts of some just makes me feel better about myself.
And if I blocked everyone who annoyed me or disagreed with me, I'd have nobody to argue with, correct and insult.

I've never blocked any one on the internet either because I find arguing with anyone on the internet a complete waste of time.

Hi,
If things ever got that serious and that bad, I wouldn't bother returning.
By that time, I hope to be published and all that, and spending time here would not be worth my time, would it? Bapu and Craig, still, wouldn't care and post more Marshall McLuhan material!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
