We really need the option to block users

I know MNHQ for some reason are adamant that this isn’t something that’s necessary but I strongly disagree.

There are so many posters who never ever add anything to a conversation and I would appreciate being able to screen their comments out completely. One poster in particular has been getting right on my tits lately, constantly calling every poster “girl”. It’s irritating and patronising and I don’t want to see it.

When will this be revisited and implemented?

Hello @AnnaNotherOne we do understand the appeal of this - we appreciate not all posters are going to get along...

The reason we’ve never rushed to introduce a block function isn’t because we think everyone should just grin and bear it when they're annoyed by someone, but because it tends to have some unintended side effects. Threads might start to look a bit baffling if people are replying to posts others can’t see, conversations lose their shape, and it can make it harder (for both users and us) to follow what’s actually going on.

All that said, we do understand why people ask for it (and it’s something we keep under review rather than ruling out entirely.)

In the meantime, if someone’s posts cross the line into being needlessly antagonistic, do report them and we’ll take a look.
