> [@Moin](#): > > I don’t think Discourse offers anything more than “ignore” where the posts are hidden from your view by default. Ok thanks. Actually “ignore” would work (I think). It would be better than mute as I have them on mute but still see all their posts and replies and they give me anxiety. > [@Rubi](#): > > Surely this shows on your user profile summary? > > It might be called something different, like member or regular. Oh yes just checked that. It says Basic now. It said Member before. I’m sure at one stage it said Regular but they must’ve demoted me. There’s a lot of herd mentality on there and I came away from it for months because of the really impolite and unfriendly atmosphere. > [@Rubi](#): > > Is there nobody there you can reach out to with your concerns? Sadly not. The mods even like their posts and vice versa. It’s an echo chamber even on things like feature requests you can’t say something in reply or give an opinion as it’s only this person who has valid opinions and allowed to speak to people like dirt on their shoe. It’s ok nothing can be done about it but strange as it’s not exactly a small organisation and relies on donations. I stopped donating a while ago as I couldn’t even make feature suggestions without being made to feel bad. Voting on your feet might make them realise eventually. It’s not a discourse forum issue I think it’s the specific forum although having the right tools to block or at least ignore would be a good start from the outset --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/block-a-leader/386191)._
