Please can we have a block user function

Please can we have a block user function!

Yes, it's been asked for before, many times, but never implemented, for no good reason that I can tell. Only because people think it wouldn't work well? But It works perfectly well on other discussion forums where it's implemented. It doesn't delete posts, so impact advertising revenue or anything like that but it would make the comments section so much more pleasant for many people and therefore encourage activity and engagement which would be a positive outcome for PH surely.

You can set up a block user system yourself

Blocking script copied from elsewhere - I don't use it

1. download the Tampermonkey extension for your browser:

https://www.tampermonkey.net/



2. install the following userscript:

script said:

// ==UserScript==
// @name UserMute
// @namespace https://no.ns
// @include https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/*
// @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/...
// @version 1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

var names = ["Seventy","BlackWidow13","Nickgnome","monthou","TheNewBoy","andyeds1234","thewarlock","xmyph","21TonyK","Edinburger","melted","ooid","Byker28i","Rufus Stone","TDK-C60","sege"];

for(var x = 0; x<names.length; x++) {
$('a').filter(function(index) {return $(this).text() === names[x];}).closest("div.topic-reply").hide();
}

(feel free to add/remove usernames to taste



3. browse NPE and enjoy an immediate reduction in blood pressure/stress levels!


(please note that the script only blocks 'original' posts by the users in question - if people quote them,
you will still see their twaddle)

More concerned he can't see his own posts any more unless quoted

Genuinely laughed at that

[sege]

Haha! Yes I did edit it thank you Mr B'stard

Hopefully with this new tool I won't have to block my own trolly, insufferable, dumb posts, because I'll be suffering less brain damage by not seeing endless posts stating that one cars headlights look like another's.

A new, stress free PH comments section browsing experience awaits!

Excellent
B’stard Child / script blocked
Going forward, will now browse NPE without seeing their twaddle

Still honoured to be the first on the list.

What is it with these ‘righty’s’ who complain that the ‘lefty’s’ are cancelling them and then cancel anyone who doesn’t agree with them or their crew.

Snowflakes.

It's because they don't know how to pluralise.

My God! Just seen that.

Bottle of Pomerol is my excuse!

Who have you added to your list? Come on, dish up the dirt!

This is the best thing I have ever done and has increased my enjoyment of PH hugely...
