Re: Forum Etiquette

Can i block abc too? Or do i need admin rights? You can only 'ignore' a user not 'block'. You still see every time they post but you can't read it (unless someone quotes it). That last part is why I think it's good to remind all to not feed the trolls. This part. Ignore them and they'll get bored.

Get rid of (grandfather) negative gearing, allow much more intensive development around key corridors, transport hubs and employment centres and you’ll fix half the problem.
