Block feature on the forums

   Now, I can't talk about what the very simple solution to this problem is because it's against the rules to talk about it. As such, I'm going to suggest the next best thing, even if it's not entirely a fix. 

We need to be able to block people on the forums. In game, yeah ok I can understand that taking a bit since there's a bunch of stuff going on with the new UI. However here on the forums I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to include a way to block people you don't like. I've been on forums that use the same code or whatever as these and they had a block feature, so I'm sure it's not something too crazy hard to incorporate. 

I also know that this has been mentioned before however the reason I'm making a new post about it is because I want to to happen asap. There have been a few members on the forums (I wont name them out of respect) that have either been posting in an offensive manner or have been flat out spamming and derailing threads. If we could block them, we simply wouldn't see the posts and at the very least, those who chose to block those people wouldn't have to worry about them. 

I realize that every forum has it's trolls but because there's no way to really deal with them on these forums, I'm starting to lose interest in them entirely.
