not neccesarly ban them from the forum, but blocking them so i can't read their posts

i'm not sure if it's possible with phpbb but i think there have been other scripts where it was, check please

There is always choosing not to open threads they start and scrolling past their posts in other threads. Its amazing how that never seems to be enough. I'm convinced that there is a slightly hypnotic element ( maybe the lights or something ) in using computers the way there is with television. Neither is real or right there, yet just the way you might get your emotions stirred up over a tv drama a person will take something very seriously on the web........just words......written by someone thousands of miles away who s/he will never meet.

i could scroll down, but their posts annoy me just knowing they're so close. i don't get angry or whatnot, but find that their stupidity and intolerance may rub off on me

and i can't let that happen

Yeah you can choose to ignore anybody, apart from administrators/moderators, as far as I know? That's generally how forums work. I can't really choose to ignore anybody, as I have to read posts to be able to moderate successfully :oops:
