Why do we not have the ability to block users?

I've faced excessive trolling on my latest thread. I've blocked just about everyone who posted on it, but that doesn't hide their comments from me. All it seems to do is make it so they can't download my mods, which obviously isn't much. Why can't we block users? Why can't we do anything to fight against trolling on this board? I'm starting to think its simply not worth it to post here anymore.

Click on your name at the top of this page, choose "my profile", click on "edit my profile" on the top right, choose "ignore preferences", type their name into the "add a new user to my list". It will come up with matching names as you type it out, select the correct one and then choose what you want to ignore: posts on the forum, just their signature on their posts and/or personal messages from them.

I just did all that, with all the three options offered. I see no impact: both on the main Nexus site (mod comments) and the forum version, the messages (EDIT: I meant posts) are fully visible.

Yes. The proper clickable account is shown, followed by Hide, Hide, Block.

I also tried clicking on those three options, which changes them to Show, Show, Allow, and I can still see that user's posts.

Maybe it is because I was involved in that discussion and future posts will not be shown.

 

That said, I use the main web site (comments under mod pages), so it has no impact for me really.

I'm on my phone right now so I can't test adding a new user, but every person I've added previously has their posts shrunk down to just a single line notification that their content is hidden.

 

So, unless there is currently some kind of bug it should be working. I can check in the morning unless someone else weighs in.

Yes. It looks like this to be clear :

I see their past posts via their profile and on relevant forum pages. Likewise if I switch the buttons to Hide, Hide, Block.
