Blocked (275)

If you troll or act like an asshole, Imma block you. Straight up. Don't need your tripe in my life. I'll cultivate this board as I see fit.

It's my prerogative to use this feature that's available to me.

So is this rhetorical or are you hoping for actual answer?

Cause 275 is a lot of blocked accounts, and this is coming from someone who's a supporter of the ignore/block feature.

At that point you may want to consider why you're running into that many jerks.

I would assume because it's funny to see people's reactions to trolling. At least that's why I do it.

Though I try to do some minor/light trolling, just be annoying enough where people mostly go "Oh you" instead of actually getting super annoyed. And I only troll friends, not random people. >_>

Also I'm just curious TC, how often do you update your block list? Maybe a lot of those people you blocked are banned, typically people who like to troll just to be an asshole get into nonstop trouble lol

Eventually the more comfortable you get with this feature the more youll start wondering why youre the last to post in a topic or why youre only seeing the same topics on any given board. Trolling isnt going away here thanks for the forever basement dwellers that never grew up and the 40+ year olds that are bitter about their lives.

Your best bet is simply spending less time here or moving on altogether.

It isn't, you're just over sensitive. I haven't blocked anyone, most trolls are easily ignored and sometimes they do something amusing.

The OP hasn't posted since the original, are we all blocked and they think no one responded?

I think because a lot of people (especially here) lead very unhappy or unfulfilled lives, and rather than try and make places better, they have the bucket crab mentality of well if Im miserable, then you have to be miserable with me too!

Of course, theyre always like its just an act, bro but its like.. really? Really ?

And then the other side is that they crave attention and dont care whether its positive or negative attention. Which circles back to the whole unfulfilled life thing.

That said, it does make for some entertaining message board surfing, but I still cant help but feel a bit sorry for em.

Shplendid!

I've only blocked one user and it wasn't even because they were being a dick or inflammatory. They just had a really stupid/annoying gimmick. Rest in pieces. Those dumbass AI generated Elsa/Taylor swift reaction images were never amusing and will never be missed

I've been blocked or ignored by some and never knew why to be honest. Only thing I can imagine is they got pissed off in a argument. Cause I'm neither a gimmick or troll poster

It happened to me. I was like I'm in a topic one day and replying to the TC. Next day same topic the TC blocked me. Well that was weird. Never really interacted.

Some people have been conditioned to think that negative attention is the only attention worth getting, or that being negative is the only way people will pay attention to them.
If you're not smart enough to survive, you are basically just food for something smarter.

I mean...so what? It's completely normal to be irritated by people spewing garbage.

Stoicism is a meme. Embrace annoyance. Block shitty people the same way you block shitty ads.

I don't want to miss the comedy. One user's gimmick is insisting the National Pokedex would make the Pokemon games sell millions more copies, when there's no precedent to support that. (Sun & Moon have a roster over three times larger than Gold & Silver, yet it still didn't sell more units)

Bottom 3 poster if we exclude the bigots/chuds. Soulless topics with lifeless posts. Worst gimmick poster imo easily

I dont have anyone blocked I believe, also 275 is a lot, but I wonder how many of those are alts.

either way, if you dont want to deal with trolls, its best not to cross the bridge into the internet.
I'm a ? Block. No, punching me won't give you power ups.
