Ever make threads you want to keep certain people out of or want to stop someone from spamming your thread?..

How about giving an OP the option to 'block' a certain user from continuing to post in a thread, or not post in a thread at all because you can see the spam/trollness coming.. and would rather just keep the thread on topic, free of banter etc...

Idea may not be complete, but you get the basics.

Feedback?

Might make the mods jobs easier if an OP can prevent spam from continuing themselves?..

report post is made for that isn't it.

My idea would eliminate the need for the report at all.. the OP can just choose to block the post and 'ban' the user from posting in the thread again..

If I remember correctly this has been suggested and turned down a few times.

Don't remember any actual reason being posted though.

I've seen plenty of people agree because it would cut down feuds quite a bit, but others have disagreed due to someone you "ban" may try to post in your thread with your iso.

Would allow scammers to run freely

Wouldn't be a overall ban, just for the thread in question/

yea block all people you scam or know you scammed

Obviously not reading my first post..


It's only for a 'per thread' basis..

I.e you make a thread, and some jackass decides to flame you in THAT post.. so you 'ban' him from making any more posts in THAT thread... no other sort of ignore/ban anywhere else but that thread.

And only the thread creator can do it.

Basically it's to keep people from ruining threads you created, that you expected to be a decent thread/post/conversation etc. =]

I don't think normal users need more power than they currently have.
