Is there a way that a poster can choose not to let a specific poster reply to a post that they make?

My example is that I post a question that is very serious to me, but I know for a fact that a specific poster will flame me during the thread and not offer any valuable information. It isn't that the flaming will affect ME too much, but some really take these comments to heart; as well these words of negativity take away from the general theme of helping with the immigration process and intimidate potential posters IMHO.

Is there an option to prevent a specific username or ip address from replying?

You have in your control panel an option to ignore users.

When you add a user to your ignore list, any posts they make will be masked until you specify that you wish to read them. You may not be able to ignore users if they are in a member group which doesn't allow them to be added.

Perhaps if you have an issue with a particular person you should contact them via PM to sort it out, rather than making sly little digs in a new thread.

Being able to have access to others' IP addresses could start a whole plethora of problems. The board would be a complete mess, IMO.

Country Boy, think about it.....

If each one of us could 'edit' the posts of people we feel 'flame us' or 'don't like us', do you think there would be anything on here to read?

:lol::whistle:

lol, very true ..

If a 'flamer' violates the TOS in their response to you, then report the post and let Ewok handle it - either by banning them or whatnot.

Otherwise, I'm not sure how this could be controlled. Its a public message board, and you're going to get responses you don't like sometimes.

Reminds of a PM I received from a rather famous VJ troll telling me to "stop responding to his posts". I wrote back "it's a public message board - you cannot control who responds to yours posts".

Honestly, that would simply defeat the entire purpose of the board. If you don't like a response, ignore it. If you don't want to read posts from that person, use the "ignore" feature. If something violates TOS, report it.

You can not control who replies sorry. If you want that then you can PM people directly.

I am an Ewok. I am here to to keep the peace. Please contact me if you have a problem with the site or a complaint regarding a violation of the Terms of Service. For the fastest response please use the 'Contact Us' page to contact me.
