I don't know anything about anything, but I would love to be able to block a user but still be able to see a single post of theirs with one click, instead of having to unblock and reblock them. Because I'm nosy like that. Actually, that nosiness means I probably will never use a filter, so feel free to disregard.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
I would probably use the filter, but I could also see where I might want to view an individual post after reading responses to the post. I could deal with unblocking and blocking, but one click would be handy.

My only suggestion RL is to threadsuck and search on a key word you remember.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The functionality that would be most convenient for me is:
- one click in-thread to block a user
- one click in-thread to reveal a single post of a blocked user
- a section in the "set profile" page where you can take people off your MARCIE list.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I think it's good that PaulJ is bringing up the suggestions I snuck into Marcie because they were new and haven't had a complete vetting, except by ita. She's so responsible, I almost feel like I'm making more work for her when I suggest things because she always has to make sure it won't cause a catastrophe. Really appreciate it. And all the while accomplishing things like the feature requirements for our host and the password resetting. She's a pillar.

Personally, I'm not in favour of an additional warning everytime you block an user, but only because that's More Work for me (yes, I'm lazy).
I think that the possible problems caused by the lack of that warning could be reduced with a appropiately helpful link text: how about "Block user", instead of just "Block" in the link? Would that be too long? One click blocking/unblocking would also make it easier for anyone who has made a mistake to unmake it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
The functionality that would be most convenient for me is:
# one click in-thread to block a user
# one click in-thread to reveal a single post of a blocked user
# a section in the "set profile" page where you can take people off your MARCIE list.
I'd like to see the User Block/Unblock link in the User Profile page, as well, if it's not significantly more coding.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My bookmarks are frelled, too. In fact, a couple are blank.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've now got three bookmarks that are things I actually marked, and two that are blank. I think I had about 8 posts marked. But, I don't really mind, since I can't remember what they were. The only things I remember marking are the things that are still there.
