Original poster

Is there a "hide/block poster" option?

Maybe I'm being a bit dim, but I can't see it. pl. could you point me in the direction if it exists?

If not, wouldn't this be a good idea? Lots of other forums have this function - it's no biggie, it is not as if the other poster knows that you have hidden them.

Have MNHQ looked into this and already dismissed it?

Wouldn't you end up completely missing what was going on in a thread if you couldn't see what one poster had written?

See all old threads where you just get

followed by
"I agree with Cod"
and there is no way to find out what she was right about.

lulu - after I posted I was thinking that being a grown up probably wasn't achieved by ignoring them

I really can't fathom why you'd want to block a poster. I'd still be interested in their opinions and what they had to say even if they had seriously pissed me off.

i can see why you may like the idea, there are some posters who only ever seem to post things that annoy me. but i realise that that is MY problem rather than thiers.

its a bad idea.

Lulumama · 15/02/2009 13:10

i think we are grown up enough to actually talk to people who might have upset us, rather than ignoring them

fryalot · 15/02/2009 13:09

oh well done, you've now managed to bring out paranoid delusions in every single mumsnetter

BlueSapphire77 · 15/02/2009 13:07

Plus its annoying if they block you then go saying bad things about you and you can't read them but everyone else can bad idea and shitstirrer heaven IMHO

Flamesparrow · 15/02/2009 13:06

No.

Be a grown up and ignore them

BlueSapphire77 · 15/02/2009 13:06

Don't know
If someone pisses you off, ignore them lol

I think that's an appalling idea. Sorry.
