For a second there, I thought I posted this suggestion months ago and completely forgot about. I thought it was my bad memory at my worst. Haha. Glad I'm not going nuts. Thank for moving this into a new suggestion. I do want to add some context to this suggestion. I made this comment on another suggestion about hiding certain threads from certain users and it reminding me of thread jacking. mrbee on "If you feel someone is thread jacking your thread, how could we block or hide them from a thread?" https://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-feel-someone-is-thread-jacking-your-thread-how-could-we-block-or-hide-them-from-a-thread#post-1359 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:51:01 +0000 mrbee 1359@https://suggestions.hellobee.com/ @bluestriped bee: I moved this comment into a separate thread, since the suggestion felt like a new one! The best way to deal with thread jacking is to flag the post... I'll take a look and if the thread is veering off course, then I'll leave a comment and ask the thread to stay on topic. :) Over time though, we might provide ways that users could let others users know when they feel a thread is going off topic... that would fit into our general desire to decentralize a lot of the site, so board bees can manage the site without requiring as many top-down admins!

If you feel someone is thread jacking your thread, how could we block or hide them from a thread? I haven't had the need for it, but have seen borderline instances. Also, is there a discrete way of taking care of thread jacking situation without causing drama on the thread? Not sure if this is possible. ETA: I'm talking about negative thread jacking where it can completely derail the thread and turn it into a possible heated thread.
