Show me where he replied to you without you replying then...

The current block function only works for direct messages

He replied to your reply. So... don't reply next time if you don't want a reply

Look again. I replied to Jesus and T_B replied to me. If you don't care just say so.

Well seeing as nothing happened other than the free exchange of ideas, which is the entire point of this website, I see nothing wrong here.

That said, we're still going to develop the full ban system eventually, but it may take a few months. You're welcome to try your hand at programming it if you wish, since we're already so busy.

Don't get upset when I insult people then. You haven't given me any means of blocking them. At least that way I can get some joy out of the site.

I already took a dip in the source and it's fucking retardation. If you want to point me at a particular chunk I'll have a look when I have time later this week.

Ignoring is better than insulting. The pyramid of debate still applies.

Yeah this shit is super difficult. That's why everything takes so long. So have some patience please.

Here's a good place to start looking: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/search?q=%22block+user%22&unscoped_q=%22block+user%22

This is the "block user" function that's already in place. Basically we'd want to expand the functionality so that once it's active, it not only blocks their direct messages, but also blocks their comments and posts from appearing in any feed.

Then these are the files that generate those feeds: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/search?q=list+comments&unscoped_q=list+comments

So basically like front.py is the front page. It would need to check if a post matches anything on that user's ban list before listing the items. Then the comments section is another python file that would need the same filtering process added on to it
