Is there no block button on this forum?


It seems we are getting new users who seem to have the 'Twitter' mentality and I don't have a way to block them and it's derailing my post regarding a kde bug. Where is the block button?

There are several ways. Might be limited by your low post count, but click on the user in question, and have a look at "User lists" (or similar).

you can click on report to report any post if you wish. You can hide any user, you won't see their posts. But I think you cannot really block any user.

I checked the thread, and I was surprised that the user who prompted this wasn’t the one I expected.

For the record, I agree that the user that did prompt this thread was in the wrong.
