why block when you can just ignore, though?

i guess because i'm not that petty? really, you should be able to not react to posts you don't like. accept that people have shitty opinions and move on with your life. but in the event that you literally cannot do that, i dont see why just removing that person's posts isn't enough. going the extra distance to ensure that person can't see your posts too is just ... i dont know ... petty.

It's really annoying when a troll shits up a topic and the TC only ignored them.

That's dumb, the best part is they can read your posts but can't do anything about it.

Back before the block function existed, I ignored this one guy on another board and he was so triggered by it, he would follow me around derailing all my topics. Getting ignored really triggers some people.

I just auto block anyone I ignore now. Great function.

It's useful when there's somebody who's harassing you.

I haven't had it happen to me, but if it does that's exactly what I'm gonna use it for.

Now if we could block certain words that would be the best thing this place ever did

It stops them from harassing you, and it also stops them from shitting up your topics with posts that other people can still see.

I'll admit I used to be one of them

but then I realized how much better this place is when not being subjected to posts by people who have never once contributed a post of value

Block functions on a forum seem stupid - even when it's the "minimize rather than outright hide" type. In a context that's primarily one-to-one communication sure, but here it just means that (at least if you're the kind of person who uses it on everyone you disagree with, which tends to be how people who are fans of block features operate) you only end up seeing half the posts when you enter a topic.

Tagging is a bit more useful though.

ignoring them allows them to continue to troll and derail your topics.

Blocking them means they cannot ruin anything you do.

Plus you get the added benefit of always literally ignoring them on autopilot. Do they know they're ignored when they are? If not, that's way more hilarious. Except that it's probably been happening to me this whole time.

Too bad that's not how people actually use it. Just recently some butthurt fool, forgot the name, blocks me because I simply agreed that they do tend to fear monger. And it was my only post in it.
