Please can we have it so that if you have blocked a person, you don't have to see their comments or threads on the forum.

I don't really care about if it would throw the context out on a thread by missing comments.

Cheers

I second this motion......One Forumer blocked me for 'no reason' (as far as I know) never spoken to them at all, only noticed after reading their post and clicked their profile

There are some fora where the template allows you to 'foe' people and their posts won't show up. Slightly different, but pretty standard tech for a forum.

I don't get why inclusivity is more important than personal choice though? Its like mind intrusion. I don't want to see it so it should be a simple thing as just being able to hide all content of the user.

i think that the way some block on the basis of location or interests is very narrow minded and its good for them to see the personalities, blocking is a negative for sure and some deserve it but many get blocked for very trivial reasons so i for one dont agree with the Ops observations, long live the relative freedom of forums

I block people when they are abusive towards me. That's not trivial and I would certainly welcome not seeing their posts or more importantly them not seeing mine

You can't help it, they are just there

it's a simple solution to be able to hide it, it's not offensive or not excluding, it's just personal choice to see what shows up.

It’s tricky, as there are forum users that have blocked me & others that I’ve blocked for one reason or another....

It doesn’t mean that I don’t interact with them most days.

I'm not sure if people aren't understanding;

I just don't want to see comments off certain forum people. I have blocked their profile but still have to read their comments and see their profile picture. Some people I just find annoying. It's trivial but I'm being honest lol.

I'm sure there might be one or two that might feel the same way about me

Oops sorry I meant it would effect us all not just you if we couldn't see people we had blocked like I said earlier I block if they are too far as I'm not going to meet them regardless if they just in the area and may show up on my searches so I block but don't mean i don't want to see their posts on forum ... hope i explain better xx

I think this should be a thing too. And when you block someone it shouldn't show when they were last online either! That should be blanked out. Its causing me a problem.

I've seen forums where you can opt into seeing a blocked person's post, but it's never the default. That'd work nicely here.

They are not allowed to get round a block to contact you, via forums. Report if they do

It wouldn't work. One example:

You ask a question, someone you have blocked gives a correct answer so no-one else bothers posting the answer again.

On other forums, it'd look like

"(Blocked poster name) has posted. Toggle to view"

That way you can look or not.

It'd reduce the issues caused by people getting around blocks. Because yes, some users do use the forum to get around blocks, and unkindness or worse isn't picked up by moderators who don't know the back story.

One reason for not being able to block is, that people comment on messages they’ve received from people they have blocked, which is against forum rules. How would they know if someone was repeating the content of a message. It happens frequently on here.

That's a risk I'd be willing to take to not have to deal with certain noxious individuals.

It should be an option.

What is one man's trivial can be another man's bain. Surely it's an individual's choice to block. I see little difference between blocking and using filters which I'm sure you use. They are a method to stop others accessing you, blocking is just that.

I see why you think blocking negative especially if you are blocked from something you desire, but it's a huge positive for the blocker who may not want you intruding. To think otherwise is just intrusive and ignorant at best. It would have no bearing on inclusivity as. You out it other than the one who has blocked.

As I see it too many already use it to get around a block and play mind games. This would certainly reduce mods work on forums. There must be a lot of comment reports as a result.

Goo suggestion OP and by others comments, quite easily doable.

And they won't know what's gone on off site. I've seen clear instances of X taunting Y, based on what happened when X and Y met in person. That's unenforceable. At least being able to hide X might help.

Why does admin need to be involved?! When you have blocked someone has admin been involved? No you just block them! I'm not talking about reporting them?!! Just the normal block button. You guys aren't understanding what I'm meaning clearly

I get what you are saying but it may not stop X commenting whether they are blocked or not.

As you said in a previous post , mods won't always know if it is banter or people being bitchy and dressing it up as banter.

The best thing to do is ask the person on the thread to not converse with you on the forum, hopefully a mod will notice and watch for a next time. If you think a mod may have missed it mail the link to the thread to a mod

How about this:

When we opt to block someone's profile, there could be an additional little tick box whether we would still like to converse or see their threads or comments on the forum ... or block their content entirely from view; including forum content.

I hope this was clearer?

How are we to know that we've been blocked?

Some threads get loads of responses very quickly, so in the time I've written a responce, someone that has me blocked posts above me

Or the thread changes direction half way through (not uncommon) but the person changing the direction has me blocked!

How often should I check to see if every poster has updated their block list?

Also, if for example someone starts using the forum and isn't popular... Next time they log on to the forum they see very few threads?

Yes. Some people are just persistently unpleasant.

The toggle option would be great, because if someone said, "oh, good point Swing", the person could toggle to see that comment of mine, even if they usually hate the sight of me and everything I write.
