Just having a bit of trouble with another member. Unless anyone else would like to chastise me, would someone be kind enough to tell me how to block others?
I have clicked on there name and see no option?
Ty.
You can click on your icon in upper right corner, go to āpreferencesā/notificationsā/āusersā and can mute or ignore. Thatās about as close as you can get.
Regards
Ninjaād. Iām getting slow!

You can just ignore them, you have that power, ignoring the bullies takes away their power.

But hitting ignore feels way better!

Thatās really helpful for me. TY I tend to get target often because of my posts. Not because my posts are contentious in nature, but because either my waffling or lack or my learning difficulties are too much to read. Iām not saying Iām not opinionated or not prone to whine.
Smiles. Sometimes I just have to ask things my own way in order to even formulate my question which typically only evolves into a solution through open and mutual discussions. I understand the need for order and do my best to keep my thread titles relevant and so on and so forth.
However - being forced or having my queries constantly reduced to " in future please use the FAQ ā¦ " Itās hard enough when moderators do it, let alone other members.
Forgive me. I mean not to go on.
I had actually just finished formatting another thread question regarding:
Graphics Settings. Performance Vs Gloss?
I would of loved to discuss hardware, hints and tips as they related to myself and of course other people perspective in a fresh thread of my own making which would of gone a long way to helping me understand.
Not being allowed or regularly criticized for asking a question that was already formulated by another person at another time ā¦ well ā¦ there is just so many limitations to that kind of control.
I think itās best I stop asking questions. Iām not trying to play the victim card here. I have a diagnoses on a welfare benefit for Adult Autism. Although itās only mild I do have genuine needs to process differently. Usually more text and perhaps donāt understand things as quickly as most. Some things quicker actually. Art any rate, itās hard enough trying to throw all the eggs into one basket regardless of how ānormalā we may all be considered or not. Iāve tried hard in the past to be a respectful member of forums, but just getting tired of all the criticism I come under for my threads.
Iām grateful for the replies. I love the flight sim hobby itself. I will not give that up. I have only just come into a time that I can truly experience it. Not just because of the tech and advances (although that helps) but more so having more money to build up slowly and the time is all.
At any rate ā¦ I appreciate that not everyone is a control freak. srry could not help it. At least others con ignore me as well. 
I just go an invite to the Discord channel ā¦ so there is always that as well. hehe chuckles to think another set of feature I must learn with respect to ignore as well.
arrrr this was good actually. We all need our space and the freedom in which to speak. Iāll get over it in due course. I guess Iāve been a little overwhelmed with taking on so much in a short time. But ā¦ then you just get people that thrive on pointing the finger. Enough said. Sorry for wall of text.
Happy Flying Guys ā¦ & again thanks for the help!

I think you have to be at TL1 for āIgnoreā. Until then, can only āMuteā. Unless it changed?

Working on it. Your so right.
Hi guys, I muted a member. Does it mean that I will continue to see his posts? Do we need a TL level to block someone? I donāt want to see his posts.
Just be careful to check each thread before you post. The OP might be someone on your ignore list. Always check the OP image/name. I wonāt even waste electrons on them.
Yes you can end up seeing posts originated by the muted/blocked. See my answer above this one.

Thanks, so this forum has no option to block a person (donāt see his posts anymore)?
Middle-click on their icon (or right click, open new tab) then
Change Normal (upper right corner) to Ignore and set a time-limit - all the way to permanent.

The offender could still appear in threads that you may be on, but their content will be masked and the placeholder āIgnored Replyā or āIgnored Contentā appears in its place.
