Any way to block specific followers?

[wastelandwriter]

Picked up a follower here with a clear white supremacist username. Is there any way to block trash like that?

I realize people can read & comment and such anonymously, so there's no way to actually block a specific user if they go anon. But it's still someone wearing his racist garbage with pride so fuck everything about that. If I can make them go anon to read or follow, that's better than doing nothing.

Is there any option here? I'm not seeing one.

Not that I'm aware of.

Do we still send Laurel DMs here from the forum or is there a better way to report stuff to her now?

Report the offending comment - exclamation mark, bottom right - which will identify the offender to Laurel. If he's rampantly breaching the rules, she can delete the account and purge all comments.

I don't think you can block an individual yourself, but you can of course delete their comments.

Try reporting both the comment and the account, as RubenR suggests.

They haven't left any comments, but I reported the account as suggested. We'll see. Thank you for the input.

Nazis and other bigoted trash are all over the internet. I know they won't change. No reason to make it easy for them to spread their trash.

I wouldn't try connecting to Laurel with anything other than a PM and not count on a response then.

You can stop anon comments.

You can stop anon comments.

Not by specific commenter (or by specific named account), I don't think--which was the question.

No not what I said. You can stop anonymous comments, all anonymous commenters. Well, except for the on reader who somehow got the ID of Anonymous.

Well, yes, but the thread question is "specific followers."
