      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.

        I knew it! I must be hanging around with too many women; I'm developing intuition.

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

              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 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:

                                    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.

                                        Hmz, that depends on how much effort you want to put in it; Some of us have a private board where you might add messages, depending on the settings. If you go to the profile and scroll down, there could be a "Post a new blog entry"-button in red. If that's not there, you could try and find an older thread, put a short message there asking for direct email, then delete them message; most of us will get an email if someone replies to a message on the board. The mail would already be sent when you delete the message, so no permanent post on the board. That may not work for a new account, since it might be flagged as potential spam, with no email being sent until approved. The sad thing is that your effort will probably not even be appreciated, instead of taken as a learning-moment. If you can't ignore it, thread careful in your wording. If the posts you refer to are against the rules of CodeProject or makes the site look bad, you may try mailing an admin. Consider that for every user who interacts with the site, there's three people who only read - and some might share your view.
