Problem with disruptive poster
-
I guess I knew this day would come but hoped no quite this soon.
I have one person posting comments that is being slightly disruptive and I’d like to nip it in the bud right away. Is there a way of putting all comments this particular poster submits through “moderation” without affecting everyone else? If so, how would I go about it?? If not, would you please submit this to the programmers for future consideration?? Thank you.
So you can see what I’m referring to here is the link and scroll down to the bottom.

BTW, if the moderation thing wouldn’t work for this particular poster, is there something else I can do??
If it comes to that – hope it don’t – is there a way to ban this poster??

Keep in mind that these types of flame wars generates traffic to your blog. Ban the person and you might alienate others. Some go to sites to just read the comments. I know for a fact that many visit the site I contribute at solely to read the comments of a certain few because they’re insane, crazy, but funny in a weird way. I was banned from a forum last week and many come to my blog now to insult me. lol But unless they are revealing personal information and threatening you in that way, then of course ban them.
But go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
Scroll down to Comment Moderation and write in the username, email address, and/or IP number. I believe that will hold that person’s comments in comment moderation until you read them and decide what to do with them.

I didn’t think of others visiting the site just to read the various posts and comment on the crazier ones, maybe I’ll leave it alone for now. Thank you for the Dashboard help though.
