From now on when you have a member blocked (not a moderator of course!) that makes a post in a forum, their message will be replaced with:
This post has been hidden as you have blocked this member.
Hope this helps.

I have been inspired by some of our members to delve into the forum code and to implement a feature to remove posts from members you have blocked.

Maybe we need to add a reveal link incase you really want to see it?
Quote by Magical_felix
Yeah that would be good because I have a few people blocked because they have a childish habit of giving me 2s on my writing or sending me novella length PMs of their version of mein kampf but I still want to see what they post in the forum.

I want to read and see everything! I want to be the All Seeing Knowitall. I am the Illuminati. From now on known as Buzimati. Get used to it!

You are also a Mod so no matter what... you will see everything. It's why you're so awesome Buz.

I'm guessing you have me blocked (even though I've never ever sent you a pm or read your stories)... It shows what I actually said in the quote. Does this post show up in your timeline?
Lol as Keira just demonstrated now what will happen is that she will wonder every time I post after her if I said something about her.
I know sometimes Keira gets really "tired" and posts barely coherent gibberish but I actually agreed with a couple of her posts in this thread. I kept it to myself initially though because she wouldn't be able to see it.

Yeah I do and yes it does.
Hence my timeline
Magical_felix has quoted you on the forum topic Your blocks now extend to forum posts.

Kiera... stop feeding the beast. The block works just fine. If others want to quote someone you've blocked... so be it. That is their choice. Don't waste your time & energy quoting someone you've blocked. You are negating the purpose of the block.
Personally, I'm good with what Gav has done & I think this will solve a lot of problems and reduce the drama in the forums thus making the Mods job a tiny bit easier. I mean, our amazing Mods work hard enough to make Lush great so something to reduce their stress & workload is always good.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Actually I don't think that's what Gav meant. I believe he was saying that posts BY a mod will not be blocked, because that mod may need to tell a member something and members will not be able to prevent that.
If the mod has someone blocked, however, I think it will work the same as it would for anyone and we will have to intentionally unblock the message to see it. I only have ever blocked 2 people, and I believe one has since had his account suspended/deleted, so I'll have to wait and see.
Not you though, NW! I'd never block you!

Keira is actually doing a good job finding bugs gav may have missed. She's being helpful really.
