Actually, I've just found a much quicker way to do it. Just click on the offending user name to bring up their mini profile. Click the little arrow at the top right of the page (ironically, next to the 'tool' icon) and it gives you a Block Member box. Click that and you get all the options for blocking every sign of them ever existing. Ten seconds max and it works a treat True but that doesn't stop that individual from posting offensive language on a public forum that could be read by minors or bringing this forum into disrepute.

Which individual are you talking about out of interest?

No, admin would have to deal with that. But some posters post simply to get a reaction. If everyone blocks them it stops that in its tracks. It's not like we'll be missing anything by not reading their nonsense.

Notice Kev has also gone quiet now we've won a few, bet he'll be back quicker than my poo comes out after 10 pints when the inevitable news that UWE isn't happening is officially announced. A lovely turn of phrase that, especially for a family forum. Shakespeare, eat your heart out. Given the moderators intolerance of the now defunct Current Affairs section, I'm surprised that this kind of nonsense is tolerated.

well if enough people block certain members they[certain members] will have an entire evening chatting to themselves waiting for replies and watching the hair grow on the palms of their hands

Of course, but no-one can control other people's fingers. Why should mods have to keep suspending irritants. As lostinspace says above, if we all block those who only post for attention we solve the problem.
