How to block someone? (Ignore function)

I too would like to know this. I have a real buttwipe who continues to send me ridiculous PMs.

I don't want to see the messages or have their posts show up in the threads I am reading. They are clearly a troll for PublishAnything who has nothing better to do...gee, they must be an executive editor over there.

Go into your User Control Panel (User CP, the first link on the menu along the top of the site) and go down into "Buddy/Ignore List". Add the person who's PM'ing you to the ignore list and you won't receive any PMs from them. You also won't see any posts they make here on the forum, too.

If you're getting harassed by PM, please also forward the messages to a moderator. You don't have to take that, and we're happy to help.

poet, Cao let me know that too. I have reported all their posts and PMs.

I wish I didn't have to, but I'll be bookmarking this thread!

Thanks Sam.

lol Maryn - you have a deadly humour that is well, gee, humorous to all of us wrapped in the wax thats bees spin....do they spin that stuff, or just put it in those little cubicle things where the queen lives....

An add on question if I may... Will the person you "ignore" know that you blocked them?

Thanks!!

Don't know, don't care. I don't see their trollish crap. Whatever they see, it won't get to me. Yippee!

And if you "follow me" around AW, its not hard to spot the username.

Thanks, Maryn. I was just curious... still new here and trying to learn how it all works. Fortunately, I haven't had any problems with anyone but I like to be prepared. Or is that the Boy Scouts?

No, the person being ignored does not know. Or so I've been told.

So I could be on someone's ignore list and not know?! Oh boy. Paranoia is setting in again.

How come I keep seeing these posts by Stormie all blanked...oh...never mind.

I can't stand seeing anyone in paranoia. There -you're on my Ignore list -does that make you feel better?

Oh wait -if you're on my Ignore List, how come I saw your paranoia? Now I see why you're paranoid. Damn -maybe I'm on the List and I don't know, either. Give me a ring and we'll sort this out.

It's not me, honest. I don't send creepy pm's, only good rp's. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Oh geez. Now I'm confused. Along with being paranoid. I think I need my shot of peppermint schnapps on ice.

Okay. I confess.

It's me.


Oh, wait... I mean...

Jeez, now I wonder how many ignore lists I'm on...

great

I saw the title of this thread and wondered how long it would take after the answer was posted to get derailed...

I love you guys.

We love you too, Yeshanu. Oh, look, it's derailed again!

Sometimes the best part is telling the poster you're putting them on Ignore. Take THAT, scoundrel!!

Not you guys, of course. ::reads all your posts twice, I love you just that much::

Now back to the regularly scheduled post.

What if you WANT to be harassed via PM, can a mod help with that as well
