It would make TD and SECRant more enjoyable for users if there was a way to block the trash posters

You would basically only have a handful of posters that you can see their posts.

Not necessarily

Coincidentally, I'm beta testing a user-blocking function as we speak.
It pulls from a database of the known shittiest posters and automatically removes their content.
Who are you replying to?

Lunatik indicated if someone uses a block function, there will be a minimal number of posters remaining and I do not think this is correct. I think 90% of the posters have good content and dialogue, it is the 10% that are trash posters and taking up good space in the forum.

Ahh, never mind.
Makes sense.

How does it work? The thread has missing posts where a poster responded, that you don't want to see?

Don't bother. Humans have perfected this already. Just "ignore" the posts/threads you don't like. Problem solved.

Is someone replying to me?
All I see in this thread are posts from internet user LC412000.
This filter must be working.

Could you imagine starting a thread and no one replies because you blocked them all?
Posted on 1/4/23 at 1:14 pm to LC412000
Would I be able to see the complete thread, or no one can see the posts you block in your thread?

I think it would be great if you could not see the comment from the blocked poster nor any of the replies to it.
How many times do you open a multi-page thread where Daniel shitposts within the first few comments and half of the next 3 pages are a few people calling him a retard and all of his alters are defending him?
How nice would it be if you could just see the thread without him in it?

You have a point.

Big Dan is right though, because of the nature of tRant specifically, you'd end up missing half the thread.
IMO the only way this would work realistically is for blocked users to be hidden, with the ability to show that content if you wanted. Like if those posts were initially minimized/collapsed instead of totally gone.
But then we're venturing into coding that will probably never happen here, because I don't think this site is built and/or maintained for that type of functionality.
In other words, it'll probably never happen, unless the whole thing is moved to a different platform, and Dhillip ain't doing that shite.

Closer to 50%
