Post subject:  Block Users

Anyone here ever felt the need to block a user on this site other than Spam Bots? I haven't, but thought I would ask.

I see there is more controls on the Spam Bots than in the past https://www.phpbb.com/search/?q=block

Before I search further into Block a user you do not like I wan to see if there is a use for it on this site.

Some social media sites I belong to and have belonged too in the past like Twitter each user could block users they do not like and I used it often, there is some users who never really contribute things I want to hear so I just blocked them, preserving their rights to free speech to others. Here at PO.com were mostly a tighter group and focused on the same goals so I seldom see a need for these controls.

Historically users of this site have to be completely out of control to receive a site ban, I do not recall a single user of this site getting banned then sending me a email asking why or requesting to be unban. I can only assume the feeling was mutual.

You mean out of the 6 people who still post? Na, they seem cool.

I kid I kid, but the site isn’t nearly as active as it once was. I blame Facebook

I only used that feature once.
It was years ago.
A brand new member wanted an original oddy piston and I had one. Asked him several times what size it was and he never answered that question. Since I did not need it I decided to send it to him anyways.
I gave it to him FREE and FREE shipping and then he came on the site and started bad mouthing me and acted like he was a victim of a scam. Apparently it was the wrong size.
I don't remember the clowns name but you band him right after that.
I was so mad at the time I deleted PO.com from my computer.
Others sent me emails and I came back after you band him.
Side note: He didn't send it back either.

In my opinion if it's not to much hassle, I would keep that feature unless it costs money or is a bit of an issue in some way.
Just my opinion.
