I don't know that it's possible to block another user; oh, wouldn't it be nice!

Former user wrote on 6/18/2021, 8:20 AM

I know you can block them, I have done that and all I see is their name, I don't see their comments. I was wondering though if they see mine.

vkmast wrote on 6/18/2021, 8:22 AM

There's the setting to "Ignore contact" if you go to a user's profile. Don't know if that does what @Former user asks.

You can ignore but not block another user.
For ignored users I think you would no more see the ignored user's comments but the ignored user still could read everyones comments including the one he/she ignored him/her. Just like in real life. :D

Former user wrote on 6/18/2021, 8:28 AM

Yeah, ignored is what I used. It blocks their comments. I wish someone knew if they could see mine though.

vkmast wrote on 6/18/2021, 8:34 AM

Based on some earlier PM'ing with a couple of users I believe it works the way @Marco. wrote above.

Former user wrote on 6/18/2021, 8:37 AM

Okay, thanks.

@Former user  ... it would be great if you could advise about how to block on this forum - I've not seen that function here before.

Even though I don't post on the chat room at www.railcam.uk (webcams of rail traffic at British railway stations - also at Lyon France), they have a specific 'block' selection against an individual poster on their chat room. I don't know whether or not activating that block also achieves what you are asking with railcam.uk.

Interestingly, the rubbish that was posted on the railcam.uk chat room for their Crewe camera on the recent full moon (a blood moon if it was in the northern hemisphere as well as in the southern) was incredible. The mods were deleting almost every second comment that day.

Okay ... @Marco. and @vkmast have clarified. Many thanks guys.

Oh, I had thought the option only stopped individuals from sending PMs. Nice to know it will ignore their posts as well. There are a handful of loquacious wannabes clogging traffic lately . . .

Former user wrote on 6/18/2021, 10:27 AM

@Musicvid probably the same person I ignored. Sorry I used the term block.

Former user wrote on 6/18/2021, 10:54 AM

If I don't see their comments, I am not tempted to respond. Good for my mental health.

It works for a while; I eventually left the Handbrake forum for good at the abuse of a pair of tag-team alcoholics.

@Musicvid probably the same person I ignored.

Yes, among a half dozen others . . .

loquacious

That's a new word for me today and I speak "English" English. Thanks @Musicvid

Yes we have a few new unusual characters.

Musicvid wrote on 6/19/2021, 6:52 AM

But "wannabe" (US urban mashup) is clearly understood by all English speakers, I presume?

Former user wrote on 6/19/2021, 7:36 AM

@Musicvid parts of that conversation I do not see because of ignoring someone.

Your presumption is correct.

vkmast wrote on 6/19/2021, 6:23 PM

I guess it's mostly understood by us non-native English speakers here as well... And if not, there's always the Urban Dictionary. 😊

Btw, I do like the word "loquacious", very apt for some of the recent cases. (I would not like to pronounce it though... /ləˈkweɪʃəs/...)

@vkmast ... British and American pronunciations of 'loquacious' can be found at: https://forvo.com/word/loquacious/#en_uk

forvo.com is absolutely excellent for finding local pronunciations in hundreds of languages and dialects, and I've found it extremely useful for finding the correct pronunciations of many foreign language words - most recently Vietnamese and Cambodian - when doing VOs for travelogues.

Not every word will be there because the website relies on locals contributing pronunciations.

@Dexcon thanks for the link. You did notice that I quoted "/ləˈkweɪʃəs/"? I know there are quite a few sites that provide pronunciations and often use them for help. Still trying to learn to say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" though. 😉

Musicvid wrote on 6/20/2021, 11:04 AM

I was taught how to teach International Phonetic Alphabet fifty years ago. This is how good theater and choir directors are able to teach unified vowel production, enabling performance in any language (there are 16 basic Western vowels including the first Umlaut). with a reasonable semblance of intelligibility.

@Musicvid I first started learning about Umlaut more than sixty years ago. Interesting to see in this thread that all of us are probably not getting any younger (with the exception of @Marco.) 😎
