You can't block mods.

wait, what..?

People like Awesome are blocking the users that regularly call them out on their bullshit because they think it's going to lead to them being modded less, because people can't mark a post they can't see.

Good, because I'm pretty sure I would have gotten marked for flaming if I had given you a truthful answer

As if the ones calling them out are the only ones marking them. Failed logic. But that's too be expected from them.

You sound worried.

I am sure you and your buddies will have an army of secret alts to follow your targets, mass mark them and update your warned general topics as before, why are you fretting about this?

I didnt realize blocking someone makes them unable to see your posts. Or are you saying they get modded for marking the ones they block too frequently?

Blocking is reverse ignoring. Ignoring makes it so you can't see their posts, blocking makes it so they can't see yours.

If it honestly gets to this point that would be hilarious. The next step would be to add a feature where you can only let your posts be seen by certain user levels.

That way you and your friends alts would survive a bit longer before getting banned, and none of us would have to be subject to your shitty opinions?

This new feature was added at the request of some users (hint - some of the warned general guys), and the blocking feature works for them but restricting posts to a specific user level would not, so it's not gonna happen

it kinda is.

if you know somebody who routinely mods people for the slightest of infractions then blocking said user will let you get away with more stuff.

isn't there a much repeated line that goes "but he did the same thing and wasn't modded" with the response "mark him and he'll be dealt with" which kinda proves mods don't check every post from every topic. can't remember where i read it though, probably a mod guideline or something.

I've seen mods say that in more than one occasion. "if you see someone breaking the rules, mark them since we don't read everything that gets posted"

But the flaw in the logic is assuming that only a specific group of people are the ones that are marking your posts. If it violates the ToU all it takes is one single mark.

Another flaw: you can directly link to posts that are blocked from you. So if people really want to mark others, they still can.

lmao wait, having the direct link to the post works just like having the direct link to the topic does?

This site is incredible.

that's not a flaw. maybe if we're talking about somebody who was trying to remove himself from ever being marked. however, just eliminating a potential stalker would cut down on marks seeing as most people probably don't care enough to mark stuff that's only a little bit off TOS.

however, if you care enough to actually go through with:

I suppose a viable solution might be to have a second account that you never post with (so that no one can ever identify and block it) that you then use as a means to see (and mark) messages that have been blocked.

People have admitted to keeping "secret" alts to monitor the board while they're in trouble otherwise (Muffinz0rz, glitteringfairy, Caution come to mind), so I guess that's not much of a stretch.

That could be asking for trouble if the Mods/Admins realize what's going on though.

I had one momentarily do that to me when they found out I put them on ignore. I only knew they posted because someone would quote their troll posts to respond and one of his posts specifically mentioned me.

The only people who make passive aggressive statements like this are probably following users around to mark them over any little discrepancies anyway.
