Block/mute people on the forums

Is there a way to hide/block/mute some people on the forums ?
Could this be implemented ?

I just don't want to read what they have to say.

▼CONTENT WARNING

NOT TILL THEY FIX WARNING AND BANNING SYSTEM ETC

ALSO

▼CONTENT WARNING

you can blame hum or diff for the unnecessary ban for no reason and warning etc

so untill that you will have to ask diff and hum but they proply wont because i even pinged him on discord and stuff to help fix you could try tho he might listen to you

I suppose you don't have to read it, even if it's visible.

Re: Block/mute people on the forums

well part of the issue I think with mutes and people deleting posts is the loss of context. When posts disappear and people didn't quote, the exact situation blurs.

that said, you could write a simple script to delete posts that contain the certain username(s) or remove posts quoted from a username

I wrote an ignore mod for FluxBB a few years back that I like to think solves this problem, it basically spoilerifies posts instead of just pretending they don't exist.

i think this would be the best solution

u agree there are some users posts which i have no desire seeing tbh

That only works for PMs

Not even just PMs, just PMs on the old system where people can't send you PMs anyway.

I agree with this post. You never know the next time you'll see naked horses in your history and mom comes in to see you hurriedly finding your way out of the forum.

And that brings me to the raids. Can people get IP banned? Also, I think there should be a Tor blocker so that people who are clearly trying to evade won't be allowed to visit.

what about vpn? many people on forums use vpns. You can't block people by IP.

My idea is that mods should approve new user's first posts and publish them only after they are approved

Well it's not about safe space or whatever, I just don't want stupid users to pollute the forums and we can't ban people because they're cancer so...
