I've seen where many don't want to see certain Threads especially in the "General Forum" would there be a way to do this so they could somehow block themselves from seeing a Thread they didn't want to see? I don't know how feasible this would be or if it could be done?

Don't see the point Rusty.
If I saw a thread entitled "Venda is a prat" for example I wouldn't have to open it.I could just ignore it like I do with most posts in the clan forum when I see who the author/last poster is.

Would it not be more important for you to ignore because of the OP, not the last poster?

Probably for one's mouth but not for what I am talking about moon.

You see not being from England I'd have to look up what 'prat' even means. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

"Prat" is loosely a slang term for someone who does something stupid.
A bit like me in some of my chess games actually!!
I presume OP means "original poster"
I look at anything that looks like it may be a sensible debate in case I have something to say regardless of who starts the thread.
I stop looking when they degenerate into slanging matches unless there is a new poster who may have something to say.

Surely you're not suggesting a modicum of self-control?! 😲

One can always try.
I'll stick to the puzzle forum where I am out of my depth!!

Thank you for the English slang translation.

OP has always meant "Original Poster" ever since I can remember.

It is best not to take things said on here too seriously most of the time.

Having said that I still believe it would be nice to have a way not to see a certain posters thread ever. Would cut down on most of the slanging matches you've witnessed.
