Ignore User and Report Post Facility

Dear Moderators,

This site is a great meeting point and is intended to be supportive in nature. However, as with the real world, sometimes two (or more) people disagree with each other and personal attacks occur as a result. To avoid flame wars between members and to ensure that another's hostility does not ruin the atmosphere of the site, I request you to please introduce the Ignore User facility This will help users from having to read attacking posts by another member or members. We can merely add an attacking fellow member to the Ignore List and don't have to read their posts at all.

Also, I would like to request the Alert Moderator facility. Users can click on this link at the end of each post to send an email to a moderator to review the message and either edit or delete it if it contains personal attacks or is aggressive and hostile in tone. If there are two or more alerts on one message, then the moderators can completely remove the message and/or warn the offending user about his or her tone and language.

Please consider these options as this will make the atmosphere on the boards even more friendly, supportive and congenial.

Thanks,

Malyatha

Hi Malyatha,

We have both these features in our site.

1. You can add a user to your ignore list by going to that member's profile page. Screenshot below.

2. You can report a post by clicking on the report post icon that you see on the top right of every post. Screenshot below. We have a pretty elaborate system of handling reported posts among super moderators, moderators, local champions and Greeters.
