@Everyone thank you for answering.😊I am fairly new to IF & didn't know that the "block" works only on pms. I expected it to work like how that feature works usually in fb or other social media sites.

I am not a very active member here, nor do I plan to be so I think I wouldn't go up all the way to complaining to admin. And yes, in just a month I have come to understand that this place is not that peaceful😆 I have come across stuffs which I could do without so thought blocking was a good idea....but since I discovered that it doesn't work the way I thought it would, I need to either master the trick Voldemort mentioned or limit my visitations to this place

Let's see which one I can do better😆

Best thing is to ignore. The moment I notice that the topic is not my cup of tea, I don’t even bother reading the comments. If I can’t see it, then it doesn’t exist. Keep that mindset and you’ll be fine.

In saying that. Enjoy your time here! 😄

I'm sure you'll get used to all this and in no time will start annoying them who annoy you... we all learnt the same way 😛

Okay.... I find few members very annoying here (I am not naming them) or more like their posts/comments irritate me. So I have gone to their profiles & have hit the "block user" button.

But I still see their posts & comments🤔 At first I thought maybe there was some error & they weren't blocked. But I double checked & their profiles now have the button "unblock user". So they are definitely blocked. Right?

Then why do I still see their content?🤔

*running to check if you blocked me to see if I am one of those members*

*comes back not knowing where to check* 😆

How did you even think of such an idea man? It never occurred to me, so what I do is just mentally block the topics that I am not interested in. I go by the topics and not members because for me that’s more easier and simpler to segregate.

Everyone message OP to see if you were blocked 😆😆 just kidding. I think the block feature isn't very advanced

Blocking only works for PMs 😒.

seriously not even a month aur ye haal

IF now is still tame compared to few years ago, tab ati tho shayad ek din mein hi kath leti😆

this is actually a cool place much better than TV forums atleast where mods are ready with their whip

If users could block users no one could see anyone’s post 🤣

Imagine you're replying to this topic and TM scrolls SUPER FAST past it and ignores it as per the new advice given 😆

I have no problem with anyone here.

Don't give too much weightage to other people's comments as to feel like blocking user. Usually moderators lock the topic or remove content if they find it not as per rules.

A block feature would be great! There are certain members you don't necessarily agree with but you still enjoy the variety in opinions cuz their motive is limited to putting their thoughts out there. But what do we do with some trolls who post ONLY to talk trash and flamebait others? Block button is the answer to that and I hope it's in the works on this forum!

But I always feel blessed that I can easily X out and don't have to deal with them in real. :)
