How to block posts from another user

Sam quite sad as you say as we all want to share our knowledge, opinions and any information we have about the island with others, whether they agree with what is written another matter.

Sad indeed but it is as you say Sam impossible to please everyone, having said that the most controversial post on here in my humble opinion is Ron { Spitfire } suggesting migrants should be returned to where they came from, and iI for one agreed with him, but each to their own.

Sam you've confused me here! Not hard to do!

I've just noticed that in the Photo Galleries you can now see who has 'thanked', never seen this before anywhere on the forum. This seems the opposite of anonymous. 

But, I don't see how anonymousing brings democracy. Isn't that what we have anyway (anonymous)?


Also, until I thought hard about this last post of yours I didn't realise I could give a negative Rating! Just trying it on your last post to see how it works - please don't take it personally!

EDIT:
OK- I did my negative, saw how it worked but can't see how I can undo my action. If you can undo, please do! Sorrrryyyy.

There used to be a toggle button to detail who had thanked a post, that has gone, now just tells the number who have thanked. If you go to “user CP” used to be able to see full list of ratings, that is also gone. Certainly makes things more anonymous but not necessarily any better/worse

With the way this forum has been set up & run/moderated, I personally would think it unlikely to need to block anyone for having a different opinion.
We quite obviously do not have the aggressive personal attacks & persistent tit for tat endless rubbish posting as on the old forum. 
People will always have different opinions but on here people tend to be very accommodating of others opinions, which is only right.

Sam does this mean that the thank you button no longer influences the rating of the poster ., do you have to do a rating as well ?

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

Hi Can. I just thanked your last post and your rating went up by 1 so it looks like the 'thanks' still does a positive action on the rating.

Sam, thanks for the explanations 😘
