Blocking other members?

[noisyturtle]

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?

[rowdy]

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.

[The_Beast]

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.

[cgbuen]

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.

[MKULTRA]

Nah I don't ignore anyone.  I hope nobody ignores me.  I care about what people think of me 

[meiosis]

Only MKULTRA

[dragonxx21]

I don't think I'm known enough to merit being ignored, but who knows.

[rowdy]

I can ignore you if you like

Man, I'd feel like a celebrity if you did. Like Miley Cyrus, or Nicki Minaj, maybe even Janet Jackson.

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

krogenar (makes scrolling pages much easier)
mw (makes looking at the pages much easier, as i don't want to switch off signatures)
sth (he is posting bullsh!t all the time anyway)

[Glissant]

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*

[SpAmRaY]

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!

[Belfong]

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..

[vun]

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.

[baldgye]

LOL blocking socialists hahahaha not sure why but that made me laugh out loud!

[metalliqaz]

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

[Dubsgalore]

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

[ekw808]

I want to be ignorant to how ignorant some people are.

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.

[MKULTRA]

Only MKULTRA

Very sad!!! 

[SpAmRaY]

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.

[baldgye]

I wish in the stats page for your profile it showed number of people blocking you... lol

[SpAmRaY]

I wish in the stats page for your profile it showed number of people blocking you... lol

but some people would accept that as a challenge to see how many they could get

Maybe, but I think those people probably already do, even if they don't know the numbers lol

[Thimplum]

I don't block anyone, but I bet that there's a few people that block me...

[SpAmRaY]

I don't block anyone, but I bet that there's a few people that block me...

why would anyone block you?

Gee, I don't know...

[Findecanor]

Sometimes I wonder if I am ignored... I post something and then a while after I see someone else post the same thing as if they had not read my post.

[demik]

He's annoying as ****.

I've blocked everybody on geekhack so most of the time I'm talking to myself.

[lcs]

Be more specific, Demik. Who is annoying?

[Tym]

I don't block anyone, but I bet that there's a few people that block me...

why would anyone block you?

Gee, I don't know...

Because id rather tie a toaster to my nads and throw it off a cliff than read some of your Tp4 fandom...

Although I don't have any blocks currently.

No that's just how most forums work.

[demik]

Be more specific, Demik. Who is annoying?

The brony. And everybody ive blocked.

I see.

The king has spoken!

[noisyturtle]

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!

[Tym]

If you block someone you can still see their posts with a sign click of a button you know?

[noisyturtle]

I meant more in terms of being able to PM them.

[lcs]

I wanted to block melt when he bought 'my' whale :<

[CommunistWitchDr]

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.

[demik]

If you block someone you can still see their posts with a sign click of a button you know?

Which sucks. Wish I could block completely.

What I want to know is if you block someone and they change their username does the block stay in place for the new name?

[TheSoulhunter]

Blocked no one...
I use prefer to use the scroll wheel :3

[eth0s]

I only read the demik. 

I have no idea what any of you other people even say.

I block the blockers though.

[rowdy]

That explains the bnitterness in the posts because most of the time you would know what you were going to post next.

[Puddsy]

I don't really care enough. If you've done something to piss me off you'll know. I tend to bait people into arguments when I dislike them.

I love all of you though :3
