[Question] What to do about obnoxious users?

Lately I've been increasingly annoyed by the user vassenor for their continuous disruption of threads.
Is there a way to make it so that I can't see any posts by that user?
If not, consider this a request for a mod to look into vassenor's posting behaviour of disruptive posting, since nothing has bveen done, as far as I can tell, to stop this kind of behaviour.

Go to User Control Panel -> Friends and Foes -> Manage Foes if you wish to not see someone's posts.

Havent the Mods been telling you to do this very thing for a while?

Obnoxious users? You mean mods?

Hey mods, shouldn't people be punished for being repeatedly obnoxious for the same reason people are punished for flaming? Even if the person targeted is not offended, other people reading through the forum could find it particularly ugly.

Nothing much has changed. If you find someone obnoxious and potentially rulebreaking, report it. We'll sort whether it is actually rulebreaking.

If you can't stand the other person and their behavior is not rulebreaking, put them on ignore/foe.

Everyone has a different meterstick for what obnoxious is; yours might be calibrated too fine.
