    Is there a way to a block members posts like you can the threads?

    16 of 25 threads on the first page of "Our Town" is Wilco.

    I quit even looking in Our Town some time back because of polls and all the "Pit Lite" garbage some time ago.

    Nauseating.

    Maybe someone is looking to be permanently banned? We get to find out if he's an outsider by the way this plays out.

    First time since I became a member I have used the ignore list feature. I come here to learn and teach if I am able, not to read polls. Too much like politics. Jmho

    So, some like polls, and some do not. Have I got that right? Lets see then, how about something like this:

    People who like polls should vote and participate in the poll. People who don't like polls, ignore them.

    How 'bout it?

    What about the post that stated the number of users currently active on the forum? Seems odd.

    I am another definite " crease and desist" vote. Very disruptive to the.forum , this behavior needs to stop. Or he needs, to quit.drinking.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    I tried putting WILCO on my ignore list, but all his asinine polls still show up in the thread list.

    Has he EVER actually contributed to a topic or does he just create these stupid polls?

    I haven't seen anything else, so I have to think that he's just a troll.

    He tried to derail a thread about the NRA after he was called out for his comments. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I don't remember him posting anything useful in a long time.

    It will get worse when winter sets in and the poll maker can't get outside.

    I was just fine with Shooters.com myself.

    The polls seem a half-step better than the guy that was starting three threads a day about his dog...

    I don't care if people start stupid polls since I just skip those threads for the most part. However Something has to be done about bumping all your old threads to the top when you want a post count or when people make you a little upset.

    I third it. This is also a possible solution.
