How do I block the posts of another poster?
If for whatever reason--say your mom has found the buffistas and is telling everyone all the embarrassing stories about you that she can think of--you've had enough of reading a certain person's posts, and you'd like some peace, you can block their posts. Click on the "Block" link beside a person's username to hide the content of their posts from your weary eyes. You'll still see their name, but the post itself will be blinvisible.
If you get curious about what your mom is saying about you now, you can clink on a link in the post, and display the text from that post only, while keeping all her other posts blocked.
When you and your mom finally make peace and you decide to start reading her posts again, you can unblock the posts by either clicking the "Unblock" link next to the individual's username, or you can click on "Set Profile", scroll down to the list of "Filtered Users", and uncheck the box beside the name of the individual(s) you wish to unblock. Hit "Ok" to save your changes to your profile page and voila, she is unblocked.
Generally, to keep things polite and humming along, we like to say that "The first rule of blocking, is not to talk about blocking." Announcing you've filtered someone is considered extremely rude. Accusing people of blocking you is also uncool. Just remember that "the Buffistas are...[a] flame-free community." (link to the ettiquette page?)
Or the last line could read:
Just remember that "Consistent demon-like behavior may earn a warning from the Stompy Feet."
