I’m trying to hide the posts of an infamous and prolific troll on the forums, but they’ve got a hidden profile. This means that the button that lets you hide that person’s posts doesn’t exist. This seems like a pretty awful oversight!

I have a theory on how to do this, but would need Bliz admins to confirm and help with the Discourse API syntax. If you view the json for a troll, even if they are set to hidden, you can still see their numeric user ID.
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/u/username-realm.json you can get the ID
And I assume an API post with the right parameters would set them to ignore. https://docs.discourse.org/
I could toy around with it, but would prefer a green or blue to confirm what methods are preferred.

If they don’t have profile hidden:
Click on the character portrait
Click on view activity
Click on “Normal” and change it to “Ignored”
If they are hiding their profile:
Click on your profile picture in the top right
Click on the person icon on the top right of that sub-menu
Click on Preferences
On the left side, under Notifications, click on Users
Click “+Add…”
Put in their username and realm and select “Forever” for duration.
Click “Ignore”
