You can use the ignore function to block posts from members who are annoying you. You won't see their messages, even if you are viewing a thread they are posting in. Here's how:

  1. Find one of their posts.
  2. Select their name displayed under their avatar.
    Post with member name circled
  3. The system will display a pop-up showing the member information.
  4. Select the "Ignore" option on the right hand side.

If you change your mind and wish to Unignore, simply go back to the member pop-up via the Members function and select the "Unignore" option shown where the "Ignore" option was previously.

Here is a screenshot showing the thread before the ignore function was applied:
