Ed ... Can't we have an option to block user entries from being displayed?... that way we would only have to listen to what the intelligent people have to say.
Problem with that would be that if you blocked an individual and they had contributed a great deal to a thread you'd soon "lose the plot" and your answers wouldn't represent all of the info already posted.
noxlumos .. all it has to achieve is to stop Posters appearing on your screen that just want to turn up & abuse everyone. They don't contribute anything to any post ... never have, never will
People like Dot, who are information sponges would always be on display right at the top of the list, of course.
