Is there a hide post function?

[MeniliteZ]

Someone posted in a thread of mine something rather annoying, but not report-worthy. Is there a way I can hide the post from view? I'd rather not even respond as it's clearly a troll.

Block the poster

Hm, I thought that might work, but since he made only 2 troll posts and they were recent he may have just had a bad day and so I'm not ready to do that. If he apologizes or repents I won't see it.

Is there any way to hide just a single post from a person?

Unless that post happens to be on your profile or in a group you are owner or administrator of, no, not for everyone.

The Steam forums are public, therefore, all threads in these forums are available to everyone.

You can block the person to hide posts and threads they made, but others will still be able to see them.

I'm not sure, but I think you may have misunderstood. I didn't mean hide it from everyone's view. I meant hide it from my view.

Is this possible?

If not, I guess I should suggest such a feature. Ugly posts that aren't reportable yet not block-worthy should be hide-able.

Currently the only way to hide posts by a user in a thread is to block that user.

This isn't Twitter. You cannot hide just one or two posts by someone. If you block them, there post will still be there, and you will still get a line saying "blocked comment" that you can click to read their posts if you want to. But if they are already posting things that seem like trolling to you, they probably are worth the block, even if the comments aren't crossing over into being reportable.
Or just ignore that person and move on. Those are the choices you have on Steam.

That's good to know!!

Thanks! That solves that problem of never knowing if they wanted to apologize/repent if I were to block them!
