I'm sorry I mocked you. I don't believe that being able to block a user in a particular thread would solve any of saidits core issues. I see the core issues as vote manipulation through multiple accounts and spam and the whole on /s/all vs not on /s/all dilemma.

jason carswell just got banned because of an argument with another user.

he was an long standing and active user in this forum.

to me, banning him was a clear sign that management has their heads shoved up their asses.

the jason carswell problem could have been dealt with in a much more diplomatic manner.

i did not witness the argument that caused him to be banned, but anyways.

Jason and socks both refused to block* each other, for months and months. But if admins could have forced them to block each other, maybe that would have been better. Maybe socks would have used your block-per-post idea, but Jason certainly wouldn't have.

since you are an admin, only your opinion really matters here, so if you say so then it is so..

but let me just explain what is a problem with your scenario...

if i(superfox) start a thread and you(d3rr) make comments in it that are disruptive, i could block you... but that only prevents me(the OP) from seeing your posts, but you would be free to continue to disrupt my thread.

that isnt really a solution in my opinion, and so the problem continues.

i am betting that within a couple of months, at the most, and this site will be shut down.

oh my, that is harsh.

i am watching as your plane's wings have been ripped off and your flight is spiraling towards the ground in a ball of flames.

i am standing on the ground, smoking a blunt and enjoying a nice glass of tequila.

oh my, its all my fault.
