butlers   208 #1 Posted June 18, 2021 Never felt the need when the forum was busy. Blocked 2 people yesterday, one for just posting completely off topic stuff into a thread, a habit he seems to have . That was the sole contribution. Theres plenty of back forth in the football section but a couple of posters are toxic.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mr Bloke   1,445 #3 Posted June 18, 2021 Hmmm... The trouble with blocking people you disagree with is... ... you can finish up talking to yourself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cressida   1,473 #4 Posted June 18, 2021 The main protagonists seem to have disappeared, and people aren't always blocked because of differing opinions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
butlers   208 #5 Posted June 18, 2021 In this case it would be no loss. Theres been a couple of really off posts and I am sure the poor mods don't want to be dealing with flagged stuff all the time ,must be a thankless task. Until now I just stopped contributing ,now at least might join back in .  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cressida   1,473 #6 Posted June 18, 2021 Don't be put off, I once posted something quite innocuous and got a reply which was a lengthy rant 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
butlers   208 #7 Posted June 18, 2021 Hope it was not from me. Anyhow it's quite liberating. I notice one of the more argumentive posters has recently gone AWOL. Despite him being a leading name caller was awfully touchy if someone corrected an obvious mistruth.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And has tried to reregister twice and been banned straight away both times as he gave himself away 1st post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jane2008   15 #12 Posted June 18, 2021 I've also used the ignore button before. I found it really useful. Some posters can easily turn into border line stalkers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
