Servers aren't exactly hugely different from one another. Sure, there are different configurations but there are some basic commonalities.

starting senior year of Computer Engineering degree on Monday, you?
Fair enough.
(Implying it's not easy to lie on the internet in the hope that it supports your point)
I didn't imply "severs" had some sort of huge difference. I said having so many toggles for posts and users being blocked in threads would add to the site loading times and server loading times, which it would. I don't believe what you say on the internet, regardless of what you think, claiming you have some sort of "experience" of something on the internet does not mean you are insantly correct, it merely goes to show that you cannot hold your own argument up without resorting to false claims about experience because your argument is weak.

Check out any of the gaming websites and you will find that many of them already have this because it prevents so many things from happening. Also I don't understand how this could cause misunderstandings and stuff. This is pretty much the exact same thing as blocking someone from pming you except you are REALLY blocking them so you don't have to deal with them. I've skimmed through those threads and most of them are to block people from posting in them. I honestly don't care if they post, I just don't want to read what a person posts all the time because to block them it could do to several things such as them just raging all the time or them being a complete asshole.
Also this idea is mostly for the sections outside of trading (especially the halo series). If you look there you will see all the unnecessary rage from immature kids. The mods have pretty much left that section alone because of all the rage that goes on. You can pm a mod about it and nothing would be done so I suggested this to ignore all the immature kids and maybe help them learn from it.
I do agree that people on this site tend to act very immature, and it would be nice for me, as a D2 Europe player, to not have to wade through "CHARSI OR JSP?" "OMG LOOK HEIR" "OMG P/C PLEEZ" threads every ten seconds, but all you can do, and all you NEED to do, is pay them no attention. Out of sight, out of mind is true, but a complete blocking feature is not necessary for this, simply report them (for what it's worth) and ignore them.
If this were to happen, it would kind of have to apply everywhere, I presume... but I'm sorry to tell you but it really WILL NOT be added, Paul has already said he has no plans to add this and so regardless of what is discussed herein, it's merely a fantasy where you could have a JSP without such childish behaviour as you and I both no doubt see from the same people day in, day out.
