there are lots of others who have noted the troll problem and mods siding with the trolls. The issue of forum moderation is entirely separate issue to this thread. To me it seems like your points would be more constructive in a discussion regarding moderation as that appears to be the issue here - as opposed to wanting to block people. I've been super vocal about this over the years but I can genuinely say Mod Kari is the fairest J mod we've had for forum moderation reviews. If you decide to create a thread on this I will happily discuss this with you.
On the topic of the block button, the unfortunate reality is that the forums have been dead for many years and will not see a revival any time soon given how popular Reddit is in comparison. We can't even get basic functionality that most game forums offer so I think asking for a block button that works in the way you've described is well out of the question here. The whole site in general is just lacklustre and I seriously think the resolution here is to just change the way the forums are moderated instead of just blocking people who may one day decide to post something genuinely useful, have a change of heart etc etc.
I'll hold up my hands and say I have argued and had severe disagreements with some people but then proceeded to post constructively on threads from those people that do interest me. We then had a healthy discussion on those topics and usually just forgot about any disputes we may have had prior. Had that user blocked me, I would have been written off for good and probably left since nobody is interacting with me.
TLDR is, writing people off isn't a good thing on the forums with how inactive they are as of the present day.

if you can't handle what others say you could try reddit, scrolling past a person's post or quitting the internet if the first two suggestions don't work.
Lame kids will be lame. I realize this. Posts such as this, for example - doesn't even need the name attached, are absolutely non-contributing. They just spew spiel and nothing more. But the forums are supposed to be for criticism and that's totally fine, but most of these types come to post without even a counter-point. They're not even interested in the topic, just seeking any attention, even if it's negative to match their own.
Thus, why a block feature would be great. They just spam up all your posts with their ilk, and nobody ELSE wants to read that crap on YOUR threads either.
Also, F**K Reddit and all those dumbassery 3rd party websites. I'm not EVER going to browse some other social media for a game that has its own website. THIS is where ALL the source for everything OUGHT to be. Breaking up game focused conversation all across the internet is a very dumb way to decide updates and feedback for one's own game. If too much attention is paid on one site and not another, then there's favoritism and "stacking opinion", or "imbalanced bias". It's dumb and always had been. But, using something like YouTube to advertise your game, that's another thing altogether and not really discussion.
- This last paragraph is just an opinion and a bit off topic, but just the same I wanted to vent it. Perhaps this should be in rants, if it's not already. Clan:
