TGB and many others have beseeched Adiaphora repeatedly for some kind of feature that would allow individual board members the ability to choose not to see the posts of another member.

Such a negative request! Alas, the cries became all too frequent so Adiaphora asked me to provide this kind of feature to the board.

You may have noticed the link to the right of the FAQ link called
block_members.asp

This is a board members "admin" area that allows you to review a list of members you've previously chosen to block from seeing their posts, and the ability to remove them from the list so that you will again, see all their posts.

How do you block someone to begin with you ask? Look for this icon
when browsing the members section or when scrolling through the posts within a topic. Clicking on this icon will block the respective members' posts so you will not have to see them.

To remove users from your block list, click the "Block Members List" link found at the top right hand corner of the forum. The members you have blocked will be listed there. Click the trash bin icon beside the username you want to remove. Then you will be able to view their posts again.

This feature seems sooo anti-community. I mean, it's possible that every member could become so disgruntled with other members that in effect, none of us are reading eachother's posts!

So here's to hoping this feature is rarely used. Disapprove

This sounds like an awfully strange thing to do on a "discussion" board. It would be different if it were an email discussion list; I could certainly understand not wanting email from somebody, but it seems to me that this being a discussion board where all the posts are readable by the public, what is the point in blocking some posts?

John and Honorman,

You're preaching to the choir for sure. But let me warn you, if you keep up these kind of statements, I'm gonna block you both so I don't have to read them! Big Smile

I fail to see any reason to block anyone, short of people using foul language. How can anyone expect to hear everyone's point of view if they're going to not even read what they have to say? I disagree with a lot of people about a lot of things, but I still want to hear their point of view because I value and respect them as human beings. And they could be right about what they're saying. Only a fool wouldn't even listen and miss an opportunity to possibly hear the Truth.

Laika-

Let's make a treaty of non-agreesion. You don't block me and I don't block you. Then the $50.00 is yours! Bandit

Tom

Midnight tonight. I wear my black robe and light eight candles. Then I burn all the printed out posts of those I intend to block. I mix the ashes of their burnt posts into a mixture of water and Bicardi Rum and paint "CVM Forever" on my forehead and arms, then I block 'em with JC's new trusty blocker-modulator. Poof...begone.

I tried to block somebody and it didn't work. I clicked on the red block/unblock beside the name in the members list and received a message telling me "Member has been removed from your block list." But how so? This was the first time I hit the button. The same message appears every time I bit the red block/unblock icon. I wanna block 'em, but every time I try it unblocks 'em.

Tom I'm not able to reproduce the error you are experiencing. I thought perhaps you were double clicking think that you had only clicked once. But that didn't produce your error either.

I suggested that you click on the "Block Members List" link. (for your convenience I've put the link here to:block_members.asp )

purge your list by clicking the trash can icon for every member that's on your list. Once there are zero names on your list, Log off the board, close your browser, then re-launch your browser, log back in to the board and add members to you block list.

This is kind of like a rigged up "re-boot" but since I cannot reproduce your error, it's the only thing I can think of.

Thank you JC and Adiaphora!

But I must say I'm surprised that no one else has chimed in by now. I left at least four or five people unblocked...Cool, Evil, Kisses, Bandit, and Gorgeous.

As for these characters:

Furious, Angry, Borg1, Eyebrow, Disapprove, Simp_Janitor, Knife, and Flame2

TALK TO THE HAND!!!

"1 ¶ So then, if there is any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tendernesses and compassions, 2 fulfill my joy, that you think the same, having the same love, one in soul, minding the one thing, 3 doing nothing according to party spirit or self-glory, but in humility, esteeming one another as surpassing themselves; 4 each not looking at the things of themselves, but each also the things of others. 5 For think this within you, which mind was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who subsisting in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, having become in the likeness of men 8 and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, having become obedient until death, even the death of a cross." (Philippians 2:1-8)

What's this?

This is not of the spirit that Tigress and Paul have been exhibiting in reasoning together, and supporting each other while discussing!

That's NOT the CVM Board that I've come to know.

What kind of idea is this, adiaphora. Bad idea. Sad
