Yes. Ignore was pointless, so it was good to be able to actually do something about bad accounts.

block just seems like petty, passive aggression. ignore is plenty.

Counterpoint - if there is a particularly problematic user who intentionally derails your topics (or topics in general) and disrupts your experience on the board beyond their own posts, ignoring them does nothing. If you block them, they literally can't see your topic so they can't do shit in it (yes, there are means around this but most such users wouldn't actually go to those lengths).

I am fine with the block feature. I have exactly one person blocked and I believe exactly one person has me blocked and that's fine.

The way I see Block/Ignore is like this - in real life, would you continue to spend time with people who you absolutely can't stand? Probably not.

This is a fine reason. I blocked him immediately when he returned (thankfully he got banned), alongside someone with the same insanity (who is probably still mad over that month in purg for reporting the nasty PM) and a certain asshole who literally stalked every post I made here.

The block feature's great because these people can't reply to me so it prevents them from saying anything harmful in response that someone else can then quote (which you can switch to ignore as well thereafter, of course, but that doesn't change that you saw it).

ignore is fine, though.

As far as I know, I'm not blocked by anyone. Had this feature been implemented in 2009ish I don't think I could've said the same thing, which is kind of neat (for me now anyway).

I never noticed there was a block feature until I was shitposting some shill and notice he was ignoring me for the longest time until he went on a crybaby rant suddenly in one of his shill topics.

Not having to deal with people you don't want to online only benefits everyone's mental health. The more tools for it, the better.

Rarely use it but good to know it's there. Especially if someone comes out with bigoted/xenophobic/jingoistic/ableist/other crap on a regular.

I've only ever had to block two people on the above basis.

The block feature is bad because it just promotes additional "echo chamberification" of the internet. People who use the feature can't handle their ideas or viewpoints being challenged, and would much rather make a "safe space" where they can sit unchallenged and ignorant of the world around them. If you look at any group on the internet with nonsensical beliefs, they all share this in common.

Fair enough. Although I think that if someone is disruptive to the point that such a measure needs to be taken, the moderators should be involved.
