Title: Blocking other members?
Post by: noisyturtle on Tue, 10 September 2013, 23:13:41
Do you block anyone here on GH? Why?

Have you ever found out you were blocked by another member? How did that make you feel?

Have you ever wanted to say "Hey _________, thanks for blocking me. Eat a bag of cement."

or consequently

"Hey _________, I was going to send you something cool because I think you are cool, but I see you've blocked me for no reason so I hope you choke on your dinner tonight. Enjoy not getting this present."

anything like that ever happen to you?

No and no and, if it did happen, then I have more pressing matters to concern myself than somone's else's opinion, which I believe they are entitled to express as they wish.

I don't have anyone blocked/ignored, but I do have a list of people who I won't buy/sell/trade with.

Like rowdy said, everyone has an opinion that should at least be heard even if I think it's the dumbest thing I've read all day.

Yes, I use the ignore feature but not really to ignore anyone. It's more just to prepare myself to read what would have otherwise annoyed me if I wasn't alerted beforehand that I was reading something written by those users.

Agreed, also it makes you exceptionally narrow minded if your only prepaired to deal with people who share your own opinions.

I block a total of three people.
Two because they don't know how to be a human being, and the third because they are insane.

I really do wonder how many (if any) at blocking me. In the other hand I don't think I would care if I found out *shrug*
Title: Re: Blocking other members?
Post by: SpAmRaY on Wed, 11 September 2013, 06:11:33
I'd never block anyone even if I get aggravated by what some people posts I still read it haha.

And I'm sure I've made some blocks lists because 'some' people think I post too much but whatever, seeing the crap some people get away with posting because of 'who' they are I figure nobody really cares that much and if they do then get a life!

The thing about geekhack is that it's a keyboard forum and people just love to type on their mech keyboard, so they tend to be more vocal than usual and as such opinion clashes. Think of this and there will be less blocking and ignoring.. :)

I don't block other people, no particular reason, I just prefer to let everyone have their say even if I don't agree with them.

LOL! I will now expound upon the power of brevity for seven paragraphs.
I will admit to 'ignoring' several noted socialists, and those rare people at GH who exult in their own rudeness.

Its funny because 99.9% of people who complain about socialists don't realize that they are just a different kind of socialist.

I've never ignored anyone simply because i don't see much of a point in it..my friend has a massive ignore list and he says scrolling through some threads are just difficult to read

anyways, i think it's funny to see how far some people go and it's plenty of fun to laugh at them

it is kinda phreaky how much people get swallowed up by this site and how large their egos inflate...it's more sad if anything

I have only used the block/ignore list for a few people, for the same reasons noted above. 

As far as who is blocking me?  No clue, don't care.

So if I block everyone else I will only see my posts....interesting....that would be easier than trying to use the search function to find old posts of mine.

I mean honestly, how does one deal with someone in the classifieds if they have you blocked? Your only hurting yourself and potential deals by doing that without reason.

Personally I don't, nor would I, block anyone. But those people on GH who I can understand why people may want to, rarely post in the classifieds anyway. Blind blocking is just sad though. No deals for you!

I assign the letters in a person's name a value between 1 and 26 (not alphabetically, at random), multiply the first value by the second,  and add all the remaining values. If it's prime I block them.

Thought that's what everybody did.

I have never blocked anybody.

The bozos that I would be most likely to block are the ones who provide the most comic relief.

Quite often I stop visiting threads that plunge down into nether regions of politics/religion/prejudices/ignorance.
