Hiding and Blocking Users

Small new feature now available.  If there is another user that is annoying you, "triggering" you, or whatever, you can now optionally:
- Block them from DMing/commenting on your page
- Have their posts hidden when reading forum threads

To use the feature, just visit the profile page of any user.  To the right of their username will be a gear icon allowing you to modify your "relationship" with that user.

Hope this helps reduce some of the friction when there is known bad blood.

No I think moderator just responds when people hit the report button and then u decide if suspension or banning is necessary

Give everyone a verbal warning.

@fishrat calm down.

Can I just warn the person reporting that their being a little *****?

 I actually did have mod powers at a site when I ran the Lettuce League. I only used my powers for good. Good for me and my entertainment that is. Harmless fun for the most part. Though a few butts may or may not have been hurt. 

It's all jokes fish. If greg was really dumb enough to make me moderator I'd try to ban him first!

And that would be the end of my reign as moderator

@fish I don't think that's accurate. He probably gets alerts on his smartphone when someone hits the report button. I'm sure it's not as horrible as u think.

On a site like this, the most important thing for a moderator to be is to be able to tell the difference between: 

A) Playful banter 
B) A heated but legitimate discussion 
C) Genuine bullying 

From what I've seen so far, all of the clashes have fallen into the first two categories. I haven't seen any proper bullying yet which, for an MMA site, is very refreshing. A large part of that is due to Gregory having a very good sense of humor and being able to read between the lines of comments. 

@ImperatorFishrat I mentioned your discussion with Gregory in the Stats thread but that one falls somewhere between category A and B. It was obvious there was never any bad blood between you and Gregory. I was just using that as an example because it was refreshing to see a discussion like that end peacefully and not dissolve into a pathetic fight like it would've on a lot of other sites.

Tapology rules!!!

@freemoneyforall 

Agree 110%! There's a great atmosphere on this site!

Previously discussed bug should be fixed now

@ Greg,  I also have noticed the site loads about 25% slower then normal.  Is this due to the new update/features maybe?

@hippie no, it's not related to the new features. it's due to high traffic levels for this weekend's card.

Fish just unfollowed & blocked me! 🤣 for absolutely no reason..
Thx mate!

Funny, about the same time you posted Greg..
This site is funny for sure!

@ Greg,  oh Ok 👍🏼 

@fish yes in evaluating that part of the forum, I decided to leave those bits "unblocked" as it would have otherwise added several other complications to how this was designed.
