make people not post in your threads. You can tell them to go away, shoo, or buzz off as often as you like, but they can simply ignore your wishes and post anyhow.

That's the beauty of DU. Every DUer in good standing can post in any thread they choose in the main forums. You, however, can choose to put people on Ignore so you don't have to see their posts. We all can control what we see on DU.

Telling people not to post? That's not a very nice thing to do.
