Attaching ignore to the block feature is silly for that reason, imo.

Just because I want to block harassment doesn't mean I also don't want to be able to clear up the harasser's propaganda.

What about the idea of talking with someone in your own topic, then blocking that person after you give a final insult?

Maybe there should be a time element to topic blocking? (like, guyx was blocked at 9:13PM, but he can still reply to any topic made before 9:13PM)

Also, maybe it would be nice to have Ignore block only the quote rather than the whole message? Or maybe just set that reply to "collapsed" and you can click to enlarge the reply?

ignore/block is for people that are unable to cope with others opinions.

The tagging system is great however.

This is something you would say if you're the type to follow other people around and harass them.

Or just to remember which users are which.

Then again I only have a few tags and they are all just funny things about what the user once said.

I thought the block feature as it was prior was a great way to deal with individuals who doxx or harass others off-site.

Honestly it's extremely weird how you guys delude yourself into thinking that it's only used for "differing opinions" and not like, actual toxic behavior/harassment and generally annoying and disruptive gimmicks.

The only time I could see block/ignore being useful is if you are being stalked or constantly harassed by the same person, otherwise it's completely unnecessary.

Being able to block people without ignoring them is too strong and lets people troll others. By requiring you to ignore the person, it is no longer possible to abuse it.

That is true, but you shouldn't need a "don't let me see their post button to ignore them." There are plenty of people that have nothing useful to contribute ever, but you can simply not engage them...

I think if you don't address stuff like that when no one has proof, it dies a lot faster than if they successfully get you to react to it. Do you really care for the attention from people who need nothing to believe wild accusations?

And you could also just ignore them since they don't contribute anything worth a damn

It's not really complicated

I would rather see what they post in the few occasions where they actually post something worthwhile then simply ignore them completely and potentially miss a decent post in a topic.

This is just going back to the "unofficial" stance on trolling: ignore it.

whether or not that button is needed is completely irrelevant to the point. the point is that sometimes people don't want to see certain users' posts

Because they don't like what they have to say? Simply turning a person "off" that says things you don't like is not a healthy solution to anything. Better that you learn to cope with that behavior because it's basically everywhere anyway.

Now people that are stalking or harassing others are an obvious exception...

It's because you're going out of your way to look at it in the dumbest manner

Just because I decide to put someone on ignore on a video game website who posts nothing but toxic shit, or commits to a really lame and unfunny gimmick 24/7, doesn't mean I'm going to expect to be able to do the same thing irl

It's like when fenderbender suggested to not mark posts because he thought that's gonna translate to real life, and people would expect to "mark and censor posts" irl. Like no. That doesn't happen

Plenty of people use the ignore feature as a way to silence anyone that doesn't agree with them. If they use it on a message board, what makes you think they won't resort to running away from comments they don't like in real life?

I don't think we are going to agree on this, except in the case of harassment in which the block/ignore feature is a wonderful tool.

it's not because I don't like what they have to say. it's because they are bad people and have never made a positive contribution

Because this is a message board, not real life? Lol

Why do you think people are more aggressive online than they are in person? Because that's something they can get away with online without repercussions. People know the difference. I know I'd have to deal with an obnoxious coworker. GameFAQs gives me the option to not deal with obnoxious posters

It's just that simple

To each his own I guess...
