This probably belongs in 'technical/site/forum "issues"" at the bottom of the forums, but I could be wrong--but WHY would you want to block a certain person's posts?

I 'don't think' there is that option, but if you are being harrassed and it is making you uncomfortable you should definately speak up. If you "just don't like" reading what a certain member has to say, well.....that's just plain childish-don't read. Of course, if there is such an option...I say 'go for it'-but it's not going to keep their posts from coming across to you by way of another users "quoting" them.

Oh gosh. Now I'm sounding like the forum police :oops:

Over a year ago, you could block peoples posts. I had one person blocked briefly, however, the problem with that was the fact that threads took on a rather haphazard quality due to the fact that people were commenting on their comments, and I was unable to read what they had said. I wound up unblocking this person because of this.
--Trust me, it's much better the way it is now.

no, you should not have to defend your right to feel safe
I know what you are talking about as far as blocking a certain user-only, I've only ever seen that kind of option in a 'live' chat room.
I hope you find the answers you need

Are there moderators?
I suppose it depends what offends you and what the guidelines are,
but if it's offensive to enough people maybe the user could be cautioned?

That's up for debate. There's a long-standing controversy over that in the WP Issues section.
