    Like....this is just stupid. If I block someone that's being an asshat, then their responses and taunts still show up in my post history, which I use frequently to go back and catch up on threads, it defeats the entire purpose of having the option to block them. Is that something that can be fixed, or conversely, I need you guys to ban someone...

    This is still the case after un-visiting and draining the thread as well, so I don't see any other recourse. I already reported the guy. /shrug

    Tell me about it! I ignored that Frax guy YEARS ago and his damn posts still show up

    What do you mean it shows up on your post history? I haven’t ran into that issue

    I havent had this problem? You can also remove the ability to see "ignored users post" and not get any notification -- perhaps try toggling that option and checking again?

    Yeah it's annoying when a new topic shows a green icon indicating new posts, but you check the topic and see nothing new.

    You could see ignored posts by logging out of Pinside, if you are curious to see them, they are there now, unfiltered.

    It's not because I'm logged out. When I click on the blue Posts/Post Activity tab at the top, it loads to "posts quoting or mentioning you", in which a post from a user that I'd blocked shows up. It is blanked out correctly in the thread itself, but NOT in the place I'm talking about.

    I can PM a mod or Robin a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

    LMAO....how long have I been telling people that have an issue with me to block me? Now I know that I can just get all up in their business anyways by quoting them and posting what I want to say. Frankly, the block feature really should both block the other users' post as well as preventing them from seeing your posts, if you ask me, but that is probably a LOT of overhead for the server.

    Can you describe where you're talking about, exactly? I don't see this in the settings.

    *edit*

    Found

    Posts from ignored users
    Show "post from ignored user" placeholder text (default)
    Hide ignored user posts completely

    Options in the Forum Settings options...put it on hide ignore user posts completely, didn't matter for the case I'm talking about.
