Mods,
How do I place users or their posts on ignore at TL?

Many forums have this function; could a mod chime in and advise how it is done at TL?

I'm tired of abusive posts and private messages from one frustrated poster in particular.

Thanks,

1) Click on their name
2) View their "Public Profile"
3) In upper left corner click "User Lists"
4) Choose "Add to Ignore List"

There may be a quicker way.

Thanks HLM!

This seems to work quite well for regular users.

Problem is I now get this error message when I try to block this one person:

Sorry ***** is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her

Guess they must be a part-time mod of a forum sub-section or something....

Could James or a full-time mod could advise further?

Actually I think that it should be ok to put mods on ignore. If they are active posters, James, they can post as much tripe as anyone - and their biases can be even stronger. If you're ignoring someone so that you don't get irritated into a fight it would seem even more important to do that with a moderator.

You'll notice if they delete or edit your posts even when you don't see their posts.

FWIW

Whats the issue here guys?
Is there something we can resolve easily perhaps?

Let me know if I can help at all.

MC,
The issue has been stated.

Thanks, Kiwi for cogently explaining a good reason why.

Just need to know if there is a way to enable this option, ASAP.

Not as a moderator, we have no board setting access. James will have to be involved on this if there is even anything he can do.

I run a vbulletin board and I'm 99.9% sure you cannot ignore admins/mods no matter what. The only thing that could be done is to revoke that persons mod status so you could ignore them.

NOTE that even ignored peoples posts will show up if quoted.

I guess that's something that James will have to decide based on the merits of the situation.

But I'd rather ignore them than complain and whine about their behavior; you full-time mods and James have better things to worry about than some part-timer mod stuck on silly.
