Most users in an online community get along very well. Sometimes, however, you might encounter someone you consider a nuisance. If you are receiving private messages that you'd prefer not to receive, you can add the sender to your Ignored Users list. The system blocks all private messages from users on your Ignored Users list.
To add someone to your Ignored Users list:
- Sign in to the community.
- Click the message count or envelope icon to go to your Private Messages Inbox.
- Click a message from the user you want to ignore and click Ignore user name.
To remove someone from your Ignored Users list:
- Sign in to the community.
- Click Ignored Users to see the list.
- Click Remove from Ignored list to begin receiving messages from this user again.
You can learn more by visiting our Community Help area.
Please note that you can’t block posts from users in our forums. All posts are public and viewable by all. However, we’ve received several suggestions from users like you on how to deal with those you would like to ignore.
Suggestions:
- @angeleyes64 just reads and goes on. It’s hard to take being criticized, but it happens and when it does, @angeleyes64 reads and moves on.
- @Epster has created spam filters in their personal email account to delete certain types of messages including their screen names. This automatically removes the communication without @Epster ever seeing those messages. Bliss, I tell ya; bliss.
