blocking has vastly cut down on the amount of harassment, on this board specifically.

do you know the last time i've even seen ziggy or schmen? those two users being gone, and me being gone from them, has dramatically improved these boards for me. hell, ask kana, she was, is, one of the most harassed users here, and even she told you that blocking improved things.

just because you can't see that doesn't mean it doesn't work, because it does. you have multiple users in here telling you that it does.

no one has a right to see every post from everybody. rarely does anyone actually log out or open a new tab, ect, to see the missing posts. maybe at first, sure, but then it just gets bothersome, and they give up. that's the point. you keep going on about these "what ifs", but they do not matter. they are not an issue. if someone wants to talk shit behind your back, that's fine. i -they- can't see it. other people who know you, and don't like the harassers already, just ignore it as well, as been proven over and over. the harassment doesn't matter if you aren't able to be harassed by it.

blocking is a two way ignore. if anything, regular ignore should just go away since it serves no purpose with block being there.

if i blocked someone, i don't want to see their posts in any shape or form, that includes in other peoples messages. if you don't like that, that's fine. i already showed you that there's an option for that if it bothers you so much.

You mention last time you saw someone. But thats doesnt mat yet r because you also wouldnt see them with ignore You being gone from them doesnt matter since they could still see your post. But it wouldnt matter since in the end, you would never see theirs, anyway

And while Kana had said it, I cant see it. If you already cant see the user, the problem is officially solved. Since you cant see them, any harassment they offer up doesnt matter because you literally cant see it. So, I dont understand how harassment you cant see or even know about bothers people

And you also have multiple users telling you how it can easily be used to troll. And how its fucking go up the message boards. Based on proof that everyone can actually see. The reason I dont see it is because its not actually helping. It just causing the ones blocking to pull a troll move on the boards

You say no one has a right to see every post, but I also say that no one has a right to control what posts another individual sees on a message board. The post they see she bother you since they can literally see it, anyway But you should have control to make reading the message boards harder for them just because youre mad As for whether they log out, it depends. If someone really is harassing someone to the point that they are following them into every topic. The chance of them logging out to continue harassing them is high. Also, if someone is missing tons of post because a regular who is talking a lot is in, theyll probably log out some they can see the other half of the topic they are missing. Because when you have a topic with 100 posts, and you can only see like 40 of them, the conversation probably wont make sense Its happened in this topic where streamofthesky was missing a ton of posts, and logged out to see why. For all we know, some of them probably stay logged off until they want to respond. And people log off all the time to see who blocked them. Especially when talking about the ignore/blocked list when someone makes a topic about it. When it first came out (and even to this day), people would notice a post missing, and then they would post about someone whos blocked them. It use to happen even more when people would notice posts missing, and then log out to see who it was that blocked them And they might n or give up. Nor should they be the point. Why should someone be able to block posters to make the board worse just because they can? Its suppose to be a message board, and people are now getting to use block to harass other users

And they arent what ifs. Its things that are happening. Its slowed down on this board, but still goes on other places. Especially right after a block happens. They talk about that person after blocking them. Or say a bunch of stuff, and then block them. So, a person may not know what was said, or how to defend themselves. Especially on fast moving boards like CE. Or boards that you need an account to read like the sex board. Or boards where you have to be invited to, and you cant see it without and invited account (meaning you would need another invited account to see the post you cant see)

And you literally said why block is useless in your own post. You said, the harassment doesn't matter if you aren't able to be harassed by it. Based on that, ignore should work on its own since you wont be able to see the harassment, right? So, block is literally pointless based on what you said right there Once they cant see the harassment, it doesnt matter. All blocking is now is a troll move to get even with someone Or to troll them for having different views So, blocking should go away, and they should keep regular ignore since it serves a purpose thats not trolly Because posters in here shouldnt be able to control what other posters see, or make it harder for other people to follow a message board

At the very least blocking should be a request you bring up to moderators so that they can review whether it's block worthy or not.

Id be fine with this, tbh

People who don't like the game also post a lot there, and several of them have me blocked just because I love the game.

People block people for literally disagreeing with them sometimes. Kind of shitty, honestly
