In the discussion “Possible to MUTE users?”, needhelp inquired about muting specific users’ posts in their threads. geoff777 replied that users can be muted or ignored, with the settings found in profile preferences/users. However, needhelp discovered that the mute function only suppresses notifications and PMs, not hiding the user’s posts.
geoff777 then suggested using the ignore feature, which replaces the content of posts with “Ignored content”, but is only available to TL2+ users. needhelp asked if the ignore feature can be enabled or disabled by admins, and Moin clarified that it requires trust level 2. needhelp thanked Moin and geoff777 for their help in finding the ignore function.
Hi All,
If someone in the forum does not want to see posts from a specific user from showing up in his threads, is there a way or an existing feature that can accomplish that?
For example, user A does not want user B to post in his threads, can user A mute user B so that each time user A starts a new thread, user B will not be able to participate?
Hope you understand what I am getting at.
thanks
Hi
Yes you can mute or ignore users.
You can find the settings by clicking on your profile pic, then preferences/users
Thanks! but it says that mute function is to “Suppress all notifications and PMs from these users.” only, sounds like it can only mute notifications and PMs only, it doesn’t say it can mute or hide the offending user’s posts from showing up in the thread.
Then you need to use ignore
Posts still appear but all content is replaced by …
Ignored content
This is only available to TL2+ users
Thanks. Is this a feature that only ADMIN can enable or disable?
I just checked my account preference here, I don’t see an option to activate the IGNORE feature.
You need trust level 2 to ignore users
