I've started blocking some people who have been nothing but "This game sucks lololol" trolls on the forums, but their posts are still showing up when I browse the forums.
Does blocking users actually do anything?
"Block This Person" -- does it do anything?

I think all it sadly does is block them from messaging you. I agree with you that I think it should be similar to the ignore function that is on the 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' discussion boards where that persons posts are 'ignored' and all you see is that they posted something but you can't see it due to you ignoring them.
I would like that we can suggest that the 'block' function works to this method in the same manner you appear it to want to.

Any chance someone could confirm if this is possible or not?

There's a section of your privacy settings that says this: Adding a person to your block list makes your profile (and all of your other content) unviewable to them. Any connections you have to the blocked person will be canceled. To add someone to your block list, click the "Add New Person" link and enter their username. If you enter a username of someone that does not exist or has been deleted, they will not be added to your block list.
So it looks like it pretty much does the reverse of what most people want, but it's still useful in some circumstances; though personally I'd prefer the version of "block user" that makes certain other contributors just "disappear".

Yes, it needs to work both ways.
Block them from seeing our stuff whilst at same time allowing us to not see the pointless stuff they are posting?
Any chance a mod can confirm if what we are asking for is impossible or not?

I can see the value in an "ignore" setting that would be part of the block option...or visa versa.

This is exactly what I mentioned in a post of mine yesterday...I would be all for it, specifically for the most blatant complainers in the forum. Some have been "enlightening" us for days on end with the same drivel.
Add my vote.

Come on Bioware what with the recent issues on the Mass Effect side this would be a GREAT feature
Especially if you made it so that we cannot see their topic titles either!

I've sent a PM to some moderators regarding this, any chance of someone stating if what we have asked for is possible.
To expand on my initial idea, I was wondering if it is possible so that other than just rubbing out what people say in a post, it also completely removes any topic titles of people we ignore from showing up. This I believe could help stop people from seeing anything spoilerific

you've got my vote!!
In the Steam forums, if you put an offender in the block list, anything they "contribute"(blargh) gets instantly minimized, in this way you still see their name, but not their input.

Surely it can't be too hard to implement if other forums have this?
Any chance of someone telling us if it is possible.

Sorry to resurrect a 3 month old thread, but I have to cast my vote for yes.. I would love to see this happen! An ignore option would be fantastic! That will teach those trolls! lol

Again..is someone going to make this ignore feature work like it should? At least if someone is stalking you..you can ignore anything said to you in public or private. I have had at least 2 possibly three episodes of this on these forums, due to how often I post. And as I tend not to post things that match the "status quo"..I end up with that sort of result.
It would be nice if the powers that be, took this into consideration and allowed us to COMPLETELY block ..in otherwords ignore the miscreant perpetrating these things on us.
Personally if I don't like someone..I don't message them..and I don't bother with them. But there are some out there that think differently and because its the internet...figure they can get away with stalking someone to their heart's content...in this sort of atmosphere.
It took me three complaints the first time, to have my case looked into..and these were direct messages to a forum mod. This should be an automatic thing...it shouldn't be that we have to put up with being slandered, harrassed..and in one case leered at..(several times)
Please do something about this..Bioware.

QFT it would be nice even if someone were to acknowlege that it isn't possible, although I would be curious as to why not, specially as surely the argument then would be "Why have a button to indicate you want to block someone then?"
