New here (but not to other forums hosted by Discourse). I seem to remember ‘block’ being a function on one forum but one I am looking at the moment only has ‘mute’. But I can still see their posts. Bit of a catch 22 as I think you need TL3 to get block function (why I don’t know as it’s a really useful feature) but I don’t want to participate in the forum while I can still see this persons posts! Worse: they’re a ‘Leader’! It’s no wonder this particular forum has gone v quiet lately! Is there any way of activating the block feature as soon as you sign up? Or is it even possible to block a ‘Leader’ (even at TL3)? To confirm, they’re not a mod thankfully! Thanks --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/block-a-leader/386191)._
