Blocking members from commenting and bravo your posts.

yiatioxi-ok — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:51:51 GMT

Is there a feature by which a member may block certain members from commenting and bravo their posts?

No there is not.

Why would you want to censor people?

There is an ignore user feature. But I believe it just stops your from receiving notifications from that user

Public Mobile doesn't offer number blocking, but most smartphones do. Many smartphones have features allowing you to block calls or texts directly.

From what I can see, unfortunately no. Even when I go to a person's profile, there is no block option.

If there are people bothering you, I'd contact the mods here and let them know what's going on. I'm sure they can block people on their end. I hope thi helps!

@hairbag1 the poster was asking about blocking posts to threads not calls to the phones

My point exactly - why would some members wish to sensor post no matter how silly and repetitious they may appear to them. Why would they not just simply ignore posts that they feel not worth helping or commenting .

@yiatioxi-ok not sure what point you are trying to make.

Only oracles and mods are able to hide/remove theads. But they use this option very disparingly.

Maybe because some people think they can game the system by posting unfelpful/unrelated/duplicate posts so hiding them is the best alternative.

I can understand not wanting to talk to certain people. I would say it would just be best to try to ignore people who you don't desire to have a conversation with.

As for preventing someone from bravoing your posts: Why would someone want that? The bravos help you earn more community rewards.

Ok I'm confused. You asked a question. Someone entertained an answer. Then you said that was your point. What point? You never made a point.

Signed, Confused.

Something is strange here

I was pulled into this thread as the OP randomly started bravo-ing posts from years ago

Then I see post history is about ability to block others from bravos (?) and discussing whether Public should discontinue rewards altogether (??)

@lexi2000, your other post has been answered. Please keep in mind that ,for the most part, everyone here in this community is a Public Mobile customer like you, just trying to help. Public Mobile has no call centre. It's part of the business model. Less for less.

Are you sure you didn't lose a couple of referals or turn off auto-pay? My folks are on the same plan as you and their rates did not change.
