You also can't block people. I consider that a pretty important feature for mental health reasons.

  You can collapse threads, and the setting will hold until the post is about 2 weeks old (at which point it's locked from further comments). I am doing this with ... somewhat increasing frequency. It's probably possible to use Greasemonkey or similar to provide client-side JS for blocking users, though that would be cumbersome. Some of the alternate HN front-ends may also offer this.

  On the other hand, I don't think i've found much need to block people on HN due to the usually excellent community.

    I've seen it here and there and have extensions for that. It's no Reddit, but far from perfect. Especially once you start poking at a few specific topics (some expected and practically universally controversial, others more "tailored" towards a technical community).
