IRISHBULL, I AGREE a good option... not that anyone cares... just saying...
I would like to still see what posters are posting on the boards... and the option to just block the nasty private messages... does not mean we need to respond in public... but would still be nice to see what they are saying on specific stocks after we block the craziness... etc... ;)
Keep "Ignore this Poster" and "Block Posters Private Messages" separate. I noticed when you block a person from sending you PM's it also puts them on iggy which in my case is OK because if I'm blocking someone, I probably don't want to see them at all. Some people are not like that though, they want to debate other members on a stock specific board but don't want the nasty/vile PM's from these members they are debating. This would be a huge plus and you wouldn't have to get involved with going through a bunch of PM's figuring out who was at fault. If a member tells you they received a PM attack, just tell them to use the block PM feature, make a note of the PM attackers alias for future reference to see if there is a pattern of PM attacks and let the member who sent you the complaint know they will still be able to see/read/respond to messages on the boards from the PM attacker unless they use the "Ignore this Poster" feature....... That simple"
