Hi there
@Aceplante the forums have an Ignore feature, which may be what you're talking about.
IGNORE FEATURE
If you Ignore someone by clicking on the Ignore button, all of their content will be hidden from you. You are ignoring them (they aren't ignoring you, and you aren't blocking them from seeing your content).
Using the Ignore button on someone, they will still be able to post on your profile (if your settings allow), but you won't see any of those messages. The ignored member will not know that you have Ignored them. If the ignored member happens to "like" a post of yours you will be able to see that "like" notation. The ignored member can send you a private message (if you have those set to receive private messages from others), but you will never receive the message.

PRIVACY SETTINGS
Additionally, you can set in your
Privacy settings other restrictions regarding who can see your Profile page (your profile page is here:
Aceplante), who can post on your Profile page, who can receive your News Feed (members that "follow" you will see your posts in their News Feed), who can start a convo (aka a private message), and who can view your Identities (Identities are the info that you filled out at the bottom here:
https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?account/account-details).
You can set these privacy settings to All Visitors, Members Only, only People that YOU follow, or Nobody. In this way, you could block another member from viewing or posting to your Profile, or start a convo with you.

However, none of these settings would make it so that you could block another member from seeing or replying to a post you made in a public thread. The vanilla settings of the forum software don't offer blocking (in a sense of barring another member from being able to interact with public posts in a thread), and at this time, there isn't a plan to look into this further.
If you want to discuss this in more detail (talking freely about whatever member in particular you are having issues with), please feel free to PM me
HERE and we can talk things over.
