Has there been any luck in implement the “blocking” feature devRant?

Is the ability to block specific users from commenting on your posts still in the development pipeline?

Nope. Everything is still async

I like not being able to take the easy way out of argument. If the user talks shit, just report him.

@PrivateGER I can understand that sentiment.

However, my problem isn’t about getting out of an argument. I always enjoy an intelligent discussion, especially in a place like this with mostly intelligent minded adults.

But I am finding some users who I can confirm are neither intelligent minded nor adults.

At the very best they are children with an argumentative mindset. At worst they are a child trying to be a troll.

I’m going to try not be too mean here but I want to make this clear...

I do not have time, and will not make time, to argue with children in real life and I sure don’t want to do it on the internet.

I have seen these same users starting childish arguments all over the site.

Personally, when one of these users comments (which they are lurking to comment first usually) I just delete the post because I don’t have time for childish bullshit in my day.

Intelligent debate is good for the site. Childish trolls are a fucking waste of sperm and a waste of my time.

@leanrob Tag dfox or trogus in such a case and the user will get warned/banned.
They are very nice people.

I'm much more cynical than @dfox and have pushed to prioritize blocking as I see one or two cases and think bad actors are rampant or about to take over, but he points out it really isn't that common (yet). I believe he already started working on a basic block feature, though not sure what its current status is.
