(146,346 posts)31. Uh, no. You can't block anyone from posting in GD.
There is no user tool that allows that. You can Ignore a user, but that only prevents YOU from seeing their posts. You may be thinking of Facebook, which does allow you to block users from posting in a thread you started on your own timeline.
It's impossible for a DUer to block anyone from posting in any thread. You can alert on someone, and if their post is hidden, that person will not be able to post again in that thread, but that requires a jury vote.
I'm sorry to say that you are the one that does not quite understand how DU works. There's no way for you to block a poster as an individual DUer.
