even if you don't block someone's PMs you can always just not read them.

Problem solved.

That's the best post I've read all day. xD

I would say just blocking the member is a dumb idea. Just because they might be a jerk to you doesn't mean they don't have good advice from time to time for one's eyes to view on the forum. Can't you split the block to only PMs?

It doesn't matter to me because I don't get PMs from people and if I do it takes me forever to reply. Although I have a feeling that Eyes on YOU is about to make a comeback soon. OOOOOH SO SOON!

I like it when people PM me with crap. It gives me a special feeling inside when I delete it.

I agree with Ed that it's a silly idea to block people because threads won't always make sense after that.

What are we actually meant to be discussing though? It seems pretty clear what the policy is unless your expecting us to demand that you act as mom and dad.

I think maybe there should be a rule that after a certain number of posts is exceeded that you can't simply not read them without being inconvienienced that a mod should be involved. Like after X amount of posts unprovoked then a member can go to a mod and complain.

I agree that what goes on in PMs isn't anyone's business. Not sure what the problem is. If two people can't stand each other, they shouldn't talk to each other. It's not hard to stop PMing someone rudely, or to ignore PMs you get from someone rude.

If you put someone on your ignore list, their posts still show up in the threads, but as links. It's been a long time since I've ignored anyone on ANY vBulletin, but I think it says the poster's name, and then a link that says "click here to read this post"

Of course, that was what it said at FG (I used to have Sugpo blocked there before he was staff), and we all know that Aaron doesn't hack his board at all, so it's always a good indication of the way it works elsewhere. But still, the basic functionality should be pretty near identical.
