The “foe” blocking feature...

Hi, is there a way the blocking feature can be updated to completely blackout members? I’ve got some very active posters blocked, but can still see their names and threads. I’d prefer a true blocking such as those used by social media.
Is that possible?

Or we could just get into the modern world and ditch PHbb for something that actually does everything uses want like SMF. Keep saying it....still here with old software hehe.

What have they done to you? As far as I found out trolls will disappear within a few weeks or months or be banned?
P.S. Can you read this? :haha4:

Now when I think about it blocking some vendor promotion would be a good idea.

Actually, the only reason why I'm still on TDF,
is because this is still an "old-school" community
where you get the full spectrum of responses and
not just have a(nother) personal "bubble" or "echo chamber".

Sorry Stacy, that function does NOT work on the Forum Admins

But sure, I will have a squiz at the admin control panel, and see what options it gives users for their own user panel, and if I can not come up with an all in one solution, I will send it up to the Captains Mast!

Yeah I was wondering if I was blocked as well.

And not just by Stacy, but by ANYONE on here. I really wish there was a way for the blocked to know that they were blocked as I'm sure it would be quite interesting.
Of course, I can't imagine why anyone would block me as I'm just a lovable little fuzzball.

I have only ever blocked one person, and he nor his doll account post here any longer.

Yeah, I kind of agree with you there Nukeno. The way I see it, doll owners are already the .1% of society, so why segment ourselves down even further into even smaller insular groups. If someone is outright offensive towards you, it's more a thing for TDF management to deal with, so that's different.

That said, I'm probably blocked too...
