Blocking members from commenting and bravo your posts.

[yiatioxi-ok]

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

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.

@Psygineer FYI, legacy plan holders did get a price increase a while back (in Feb 2018, in fact.  See here for more info:  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/Effective-February-15th-changes-are-hap... ). This is probably the case for @lexi2000, as they indicated one of their lines is from several years ago.  

EDIT: fixed link, sorry

FYI: Customers who joined before Jan 27/15 (aka Legacy) are still elligible to call 611 for tech support and have been hit with several price increases in the last 18 months.

Personally, I would be rather embarrassed to admit not being successful in finding help after a month of searching.  It takes two to tango.  It's incumbent on the customer to find the right service from the right service provider.  This service provider is intended for those who are relatively self sufficient.  I see a round peg with a square hole here.

I'm always astonished. So you've been here for a few years. You seem to be even a legacy customer. Along with you and thousands of other customers merrily going along enjoying the service and the rates...now you have a hiccup and you sign-up here and go ape-sh1t bananas because you can't figure out how to operate the community and that your new iphone doesn't seem to do what you want. Neither are Public Mobiles' problem.

If you could sit back and come back to threads that you posted in and answer questions posed by exceedingly helpful people here then maybe just maybe you could get your sons phone going properly.

Be patient. You've already had some responses in your several other threads. Choose one and keep talking in there.

@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.

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 (??)

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

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 .

---

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.

[computergeek541]

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.

[mimmo]

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

@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.

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

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!
