    So people like me . Would rather not see racist, sexist and homophobic threads. It looks like the same people create the same threads almost everyday, obviously all have some form of axe to grind.

    Is there a away to block posts/threads created by certain users?

    Yes, you can add these users to your Ignore lists. Posts and PMs from them will not be shown in the future. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/prof...?do=ignorelist

    A more permanent solution would be to post in AAM and request for a ban on a particular forum, such as D&CA. This will prevent any threads posted in that forum from showing up on your TSR page in the future.

    Also important to note that whilst you cannot see posts, PMs and VMs from people on your ignore list, they can see your posts still :yep:
