Hey everyone,

Though I'm new to this forum and am pleased with my interactions with most people on here, I've already encountered a user who I wish to block. So far I've learned nothing from this person and I find their snooty attitude annoying. The last thing I want is to start an argument and be blocked from this site. Though I don't mind healthy debates, disagreeing to be contrary is not condusive to healing. I checked the DSM 5 and it didn't show how to block a user. Lol. Can someone help? How can I block a bothersome user?

Thank you,

Jen

I am sorry you are feeling bothered from another user. No one should have to endure that when they come here for self help.

Other people have removed cute pictures of themselves because unfortunately there are people who give other people a difficult time. I am not that cute and I don't have pictures of myself in PC. (LOL) It is easy to change. If you need help doing that private message me or post your appeal for assistance.

Click on private message under your name and to the left you will see options. select Edit Ignore List. Add the member's name. If you get abusive language or requests for personal information, report the member to a moderator or private message me and I will do so. No need to get into the "mud". You are a welcome member here.

I agree with not wanting to start any drama however i do want to tell you that in my limited interactions here, most EVERYONE had been amazing. I have also encountered a few that really 'dont seem to get it' or almost seem antagonistic in their responses but in reminded myself that none of us would be on this site if we didn't have some issues we were dealing with.

I know that doesn't take the sting out of the interactions and if you are anything like me, it is impossible to not take personally, but try. Know it isn't you and he/she is the exception to my experience here and mossy likely responding from their own issues.
Thanks for this!

to block someone you click on that posters name, that will bring you to their profile. click user lists then click add to ignore list.

the ignore list doesnt prevent them from reading your posts or posting with in other peoples threads in which you may have posted in too. it does how ever prevent them from posting with in any threads that you start. the person who is blocked can how ever discuss the same issues that you have blocked them from discussing, by starting their own threads...in other words the ignore feature is for your protection but wont prevent others from posting their points of view. this site does allow members to disagree and post their own points of views on all issues.
Thanks for this!

Hello FuZZieOne, you can put them on your ignore list. Go to the member's profile and in the left hand corner it says, 'User lists' click on that and a drop down menu appears, then click on, 'Add to ignore list.'

Or you can go to 'Your profile,' then, 'Control panel' and there you will see 'Edit ignore list.'

Hope this helps.

Thank you all for the advice. Especially IT12345. You're right when you said we are all on this forum because we have issues. None of us are perfect, and some of us are better at communication than others.

I'm glad that you've come around to seeing it that way, after all, we're all mentally challenged peeps on here, some more so than others. It's not our fault.

Does this stop them from being able to send you private messages in your profile page? I need to block someone from sending me messages.

last I knew it doesnt block them from using their pm options of sending out private messages to anyone they choose to, they can send you messages to their hearts content but you will not see any messages from anyone on your own ignore list.
Thanks for this!

MoxieDoxie, they will not be able to send you private messages (PMs), but they will be able to post visitor messages on your profile page. I found that out the hard way.

Moxie, you could maybe change your settings so that only people on your friends list can post visitor messages (one way of "fixing" that issue...)

I didn't even know you can do that. I guess after all this time I should start exploring the features offered. Never needed to before.

The good thing is that the ignored person cannot (if things have not changed), post in a thread you started. I think this can make us feel safer because even if they can post in the same thread we do (even if we just see their name), they can't post in a thread we started which might be a more sensitive thing.

Also they can PM you but you don't get the PM. Although, if you one day decide like I did that I had too many on ignore and instead of taking them off one by one, I took all off to add a few back, in that space, PM's that could not be delivered to me were, several months after they were sent. So I guess blocked PM's live invisible endlessly. LOL.

Oh that's interesting, I'm pretty sure the PM's used to get lost in space forever never to be seen, so now you get all the PM's in one go if you unignore the member?

receiving posts on your Profile Page from someone who has been 'Blocked', is a glitch, and if you notify one of the Mods, they can adjust that.

Peace~

At least that is how I can try to understand how I managed to get PM's from someone on my ignore list.
