They used to be frequent posters. I haven't seen them around in the past few years.
Isn't Bill the only moderator left? I know there were two others but one doesn't post much anymore and the other one doesn't seem to be showing as a moderator.

USAKeller and CONative used to be moderators, but I haven't seen them around for a while.

For what it’s worth - since I opened this can of worms...

Thanks to those who explained how to use the profile settings to ignore a user. It works and my life is now better as a result. I’m not crazy about the way it replaces a user’s message with a note indicating that the post is there, but it’s a big improvement nonetheless.

What user did you ignore? You already opened the can, might as well spill it

Hopefully the ignored user won't create a second account and bother you again

Can't be him; he's the voice of reason and gunning for a moderator spot. vv

And this website has 10x the amount of hate. It’s just a bunch of old people who like going upwards but I wouldn’t be surprised if a 14er meetup ended in mass murder
How do you mean, good sir (or maam)? Please explain.
Read the rest of his posts on the forum. Definitely a troll.

well, at least since many “low-value” posts aren’t responded to anyway it does eliminate a fair amount of tedious garbage from what you would otherwise see. IMO it could be improved on a bit, but at least gives you some nominal control.

I don't know if low value posts aren't responded to... That Rainier thread really took a detour.
