Is there a way to screen out messages by individuals who consistently leave demeaning and hateful messages? I suspect that these people have found themselves unwelcome everywhere else in theri ilves, and they are reduced to anonymous invective on the web. Other than just skipping their messages, is there a way to eliminate them from our individual screens?

hmmm...the subject line and the complaint are not 'exactly' similar....
   'Vile language' and hateful, demeaning posts are not necessarily related.
I doubt that is is easily possible in this medium to screen them. If you are asking specifically about some members with registered names, the complaint probably needs to go thru a different route.

You mean around here? I dunno about anything that would filter specific posters....You could always try what I do--the optical equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "lalala, I can't hear you"--Just don't read it. If it's attacks directed at yourself, be careful and get help from a clone. Chin up and go read the good stuff. ~JE

The only filter we have for threads is for "BS" denominated threads, not for excluding individual posters by member name.

You can delete PMs from any member without reading them.

If the problem persists in the PM arena, you can write Pene Azul and see if he can help.

Chin up, as the lady said.
