Yep. I made a couple of posts over the years reminding people not to discuss politics or make thinly veiled intolerant/prejudiced statements against certain groups of people (same folks did both), and it's always the same bad actors over the years, and over time, a couple of them sent me some pretty hateful PMs and regularly post snipes at me in the forum even in threads I don't even participate in and they'll make a reference to me (while at the same time stating that they've hidden my posts, defying logic. Life's too short for anyone to carry around that much hate and resentment; it's such a waste of energy and one's life, IMO. But there's no shortage of people who think otherwise. Fortunately, most people in this forum are nothing like that. Just report spam to the mods. There would absolutely be abuse if the ignore function could be manipulated to ban people -- because trust me, there are folks here who will (and are already) abusing the system.

TheSteven Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) I'm assuming that you clicked on the ellipses on the right side of the post and clicked on 'report' to report post/poster? (before you go DUH, that's obvious - not everyone knows about that feature) Forums admins pay attention to reports they don't care who's blocking/ignoring who.

Trying to get people to dial some sort of support phone number for numerous products including Mozilla and AVG. It was the same phone number for all products. The actual text did not make a whole lot of sense to me. Edited October 3, 2023 by Wookiee Blocked by key word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion All ready exists, not the blocking but if the number of posts exceeds a certain number they get blocked. Blocking is not the solution, reporting with a reason, rather than the empty reports of which so many are. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember like 10-15 years ago I set up a forum at a domain I had, just to see if I could and how that would work. I removed a signup barrier (like a confirmation mail or something). Next day I got a message from my hosting platform that I was at my storage and traffic limit. My entire forum was flooded with animal porn. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indeed, because many of the recent spam has contained it, no not going to say as then the spammers would know. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several key words blocking My lyric was just a simple line, but yours is really good! Kudos, El Diablo. Although I am a little uncomfortable praising "the devil," you have clearly won this round! Hopefully there are no eternal consequences for that. Edited October 4, 2023 by PavlovsCat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
