What Does This Mean?
The sound-effect word for the act of putting someone in your killfile (or, more broadly, blocking/muting them) — announced in a reply as a way of publicly declaring you're done engaging with someone.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"*plonk* — not reading another word from that account."
LORE & ORIGIN
Usenet slang from the early-to-mid 1990s, onomatopoeia for the imagined sound of someone's name being dropped ("plonked") into a killfile — used both as a private action and, often, as a public declaration in a reply thread to signal you're ending the conversation and won't see any further response. It remains a piece of internet-history vocabulary directly tied to the killfile it describes.
