@tez Didn’t there used to be a button to hide all posts from a particular user? I was looking for it for the recent troll and I can’t find it now. (maybe I’m remembering this from another forum though and it was never here…)
I think blocking them does that, but it doesn’t prevent them from seeing your posts, which would be more useful tbh.
At least if you block them you can’t see their replies… until someone quotes them, alas.

@Faraday I know there was one on The Other Place but it broke at some point. One can still block people, thankfully.
@dvoraen
That’s been a thing with this stupid theme. I’ll take a look.
What kind of filtering do we think would keep this guy out?
@Juniper They just need to edit the parts out that are stupid before posting.
There’s a magic system, and PCs who want to learn magic will all be complete newbies.
@Kestrel It’s definitely a semantic difference, but I also think that it’s an important semantic difference. I think that seeing/using them synonymously can contribute to bleed and to feelings of competition rather than cooperation.
I don’t use CvC instead of PvP, I use it alongside PvP. You can have both on the same game (people working cooperatively OOCly to create a good story of competition between their characters versus people competing OOCly to have their characters win). I don’t even see PvP as a bad thing… it can be really fun sometimes if you’re doing it with folks that you trust. But I do think that it’s valuable to have terms for each, because they’re very different and—to bring things back full circle to the point of the thread—appeal to and bring in players of very different temperaments.
