LinkPizza 08/06/21 4:46:40 PM #14:	Mead posted... Ignore only effects what posts a user sees themselves. The block feature which has been positively received by many users effects who can see your own posts. If it makes the experience of using the boards and reading everything easily worse for you then that sucks and Im sorry that it has had that effect. But I also think that it has led to a lot of users being harassed and bullied less online(even if that cant be eliminated entirely) and I think that is more important. No. It doesnt help more than ignore. If anything, it makes block more like ignore. The only difference between the two at first was the blocked poster not being able to see the blockers posts (and not seeing topics of each other). That never stopped them from interacting with the blocker fully, though... It just meant the blocker couldnt see when they posted back. Which ignored already handled. The blocked poster could always log out to see the post, and still quote (old style) and respond. Now many more people are going to have to constantly log out just to keep up with conversations, and will be able to basically interact with posters who blocked them because theyll definitely see their posts now, where they might not have before since they could just talk to everybody else. But if the blocker is very invested on a conversation, or is posting a lot, the blocked poster will have to log out to see the conversation. Which would most likely mean they see the other blocker. And would actually cause more interaction between the two. The blocker cant see it, but they also couldnt if they had ignore. So, not real difference It basically makes block no more useful than ignore, and just slows down the topic Even on the site suggestion board, it was used to stop people from disagreeing with their suggestions. One person blocked everyone that said anti-sign in their suggestion so they couldnt give reasons on why something was bad --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
