That's a "sitewide" license fee for their software, so diyAudio will just pay that once per year to Xenforo.
While I haven't blocked anyone I have unsubscribed to many threads that have become uninteresting. Sometimes the thread goes off at a tangent.
As for changing the forum I think it works pretty well as it is.
I wouldn't really think of telling a forum how it should work, especially when it provides a lot of entertainment and information for free.

Hi Nigel,
Sometimes those tangents can get pretty interesting with higher value than the original thread. We do our best to balance moderating with letting some threads grow naturally. Some you may have noticed are moderated more tightly.
Moderation is always a balancing act. We do our best but can't always please everyone. We take our cues from the original poster and the tone of the thread. Then, there are those rules we follow. If the original poster complains about off-topic material, we'll try to untangle things and move the offending posts out, or delete them. Sometimes this is accompanied by discipline, with or without points for those posts that run foul of the rules. We try to be reasonable. I think the team is doing a pretty good job.

I have never used the ignore button on anybody ever on any forum. I would expect the respect of at least being heard no matter how dreadful it may be.
Words are just words. Some of these words, when combined together to form a bit of useful information are stumbled upon i store them in my memory bank.

Can't always get the train to stay on the tracks.
So if you see they are the thread starter, why do you need an ignore feature? Just don't enter. The ignore feature is so you can 'weed out' what you don't want once you are in the thread, right?
Do we need relativism, or more of it?
I, for one, do not want to see another thread about the "sonics" of cables, resistors, caps, blocks of wood, purifiers, why op-amps are terrible, why I need a statue of Buddha on my speakers or some diamond-tipped titanium-plutonium spikes under them, why fraying cables fray the sound, how I need to sit to "really hear" the music, why it is all about the "music" and then wax lyrically about some bottled skunk fart behind the amplifier, why some speaker woods are grown by androgynous fairies so it isn't polluted by binary coded beings, or why I can't hear things that are really there but are only heard by people whose brother is Kal-El.
We all know who they are.
Their name is right over the other side of the screen, I don't always look over there when I'm looking down the thread titles. Also on the phone screen I can't usually see that side anyway.
And once another person has posted you cant see it was started by the unwanted person.
Try doing it this way. The option has always been yours.

I do it the way Cal suggested. Just hit the Home button.
Another issue now that we are talking about features. How about providing an email address in your personal CP, and have an option to automagically forward any PMs to that address? I don't check the PM area very often and this would be a good way to have everything in one place for a quick reply.

Yes but then I cannot be reached by someone would does not know my email address.

Hi Jan, I'm pretty sure there is an option to get PM's emailed... All of my PM's end up in my email automatically... It's a long time ago I set it up though so not sure where... somewhere in User CP I would guess.

I come here to be entertained as well as learn, If you don't like then please leave quietly so as not to disturb the neighbours

Thank you Jan. I seem to have neglected mentioning how I got to that stage.
