    Is there a way to automatically hide or block posts made by certain members? Or should I post to the bug/suggestion forum?

    Out of curiosity; is it political, personal, general attitude, or something else?

      Is this a sock puppet account you are using Stryder_1? You don't have any activity since 2018 and you are asking a question that would relate to recent activity, I would think. Why not ask using your main account handle? If it is not in the Soapbox then where? hmmm. :laugh:

          I have to admit that i miss the newsgroup "block user" function, too, but this is a web board; it's the same for everyone -- it's not delivered to you as individual messages, so you can't block only some of them.

                  General attitude of the messages. Most member postings I have no problems with, but this individual's just always seems negative, often derogatory and of no use in advancing the commentary. I get that happens from time to time, but most members have something to contribute eventually. I visit daily to get my tech updates and I'm just getting annoyed by this one individual, so I thought if I had an option to ignore, that would be best. I've tried not reading comments from this member, but often I read the comment before reading who posted.

                      As with a coworker, you should probably mail the person first and explain your complaint. If that does not help and the member doesn't change after some public warnings, then "abusive" it is. Do remember that a negative attitude impacts the site and the community, and may drive of others too. So, as a member, I'd expect you to not just ignore the problem, but to participate in mitigating it - none are exempt, except the hamsters. And upvoted for bravery :thumbsup:

                                      Is there a way to automatically hide or block posts made by certain members? Or should I post to the bug/suggestion forum?

                                      I'll log out so this site will be read only for me. Sorry to ruin things.

                                        You won't find those here in the Lounge, jussaying! :doh:

                                        Right, which is why I don't normally visit the Lounge, and this is not the board I frequent. That would be the Insider News. I expect all manner of comments on the lounge.

                                          As with a coworker, you should probably mail the person first and explain your complaint. If that does not help and the member doesn't change after some public warnings, then "abusive" it is. Do remember that a negative attitude impacts the site and the community, and may drive of others too. So, as a member, I'd expect you to not just ignore the problem, but to participate in mitigating it - none are exempt, except the hamsters. And upvoted for bravery :thumbsup:

                                          How do I go about that? The member does not have the Email option on their posts, only the Reply.
