Ive started noticing a few specific posters will have their posts missing and i can only see them in quotes, but then a few days later they unblock me and I can see their posts again.

Why do people do this? A few people here have done this multiple times and I have no idea why

No clue then. While I remember them saying some off things I don't think they're a chud, and I really attribute the whole "abusing the block/follow function in weird ways" with chuds.

Ah, so he is a chud. Nvm then, I guess I just misremembered who they were.

Did you blow him the fuck out in a debate at some point? If he knows he's about to be on his shit takes and doesn't want anyone to crush it before he gets any unawares to bite, he might temporarily block to avoid getting that ass handed to him again.

Of course, he'd probably have to block half the board at that point then.

They block not to actually block but to abuse. You might be mid argument and making a point so they block so they can pretend they won.

Hmmm.. you know, I've actually noticed that as well. But honestly who cares to know the why about the odd things that they do? Just post what you want and let them deal with it the only way they can.

I dunno, sometimes I'll see something that has me blocking and then I immediately unblock because I realize I overreacted in the moment and it's not that bad.

My general policy is if I block someone it's because I'm trying to remove their existence as part of my experiences with this site so nobody who I feel deserves to be blocked do I ever intend to remove from the list.

Count Corvinus is actually one of those people lol and I imagine they do what you're talking about because people dogpile on them and give them a ton of shit and they get flustered with particular people so they block them. However, since that account exists to agitate and troll others, they undo their block list because if they block everybody then they'll have nobody to troll and make shitposts for.

Basically, they need an audience, however even trolls still have emotions and can block people in the heat of the moment.

Yeah, once that became every other post they would make in a thread is when I threw them on the list. Nobody who seriously asserts that asinine bullshit is here for genuine discussion.

He blocked me after I compared "blue maga" to trying to make fetch happen.

I sometimes do that when people are shitting up a topic of mine so I dont have to keep getting notifications from their nonsense.

But CC does that because he wants people to see his posts but doesnt like pushback.

I've done this a few times when someone was acting a fool in a topic of mine but I didn't think they were creepy or disturbing enough to keep them permanently blocked.

Yeah thats fair, using it as timeout if someone really wont shut up.

And i agree Corvinus just wants to spam Blue MAGA over every political post

So it's official now. CountCorvinus has a crush on ssb_yunglink2.
Blue MAGA is actually how he declares his love

because he most likely has an alt he browses CE with, so he can unblock you on his main just to argue and then block you again.
I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen...
