  I think it’d be an excellent idea to have a block/ignore function on the forums so when people like “cricehighlights” are spamming threads or when bots are posting nonsense like they have been doing recently or just anyone in particular you find annoying, to be able to block yourself from seeing their posts.

  We just flag such threads with the “Modlook” tag and our Moderators remove them.

  Mhmm, or find a way of keeping spam bots locked out of WordPress?

  Many spammers also loose their posting privileges in the forum and their blog can also be suspended.

  So even when a spammer gets their moment of glory it is short lived and then they vanish.
