This has been suggested on a thread and sounds like a great idea - on a thread where a user is blatantly trolling, can there be an option to mute them in that thread?

Hi Stormtreader. Yes, as others have said, it is something we've looked at in the past and always decided it wouldn't be very popular and in many cases, would mean it was impossible to follow a thread, what with all the people that hadn't muted them replying.
Also, it seems a bit 'against the spirit of conversation', if you know what we mean? Often, one person's derail is another person's 'EXTREMELY valid and important point that NO ONE is listening to!'. So you can see why it's a bit of a difficult thing to implement.
If you do think someone is deliberately derailing though, do drop us a line and we can have a word.
Hope that explains our thoughts a bit further anyway.
