FabSwingers.com forum: Blocking query - in chat and on profiles

By (user no longer on site) OP

Several people have discussed this issue in the Chatrooms recently and we'd like to know if we're all going crazy - or there's been a sea-change in the way blocking works in the Chatroom [as opposed to the way profiles are blocked].

When I block someone's profile - they go on my 'Blocked List'. But when I go into the Chatroom - I can still see their banter - until I block them in there too. This I understand is because the two sides [chat/profiles] are managed on separate systems????

However, having blocked someone in chat only, I then cannot see their profile and their name in the Chatter's List is shown in grey with a crossed out line through it. However other users find there is no greying/crossing out line showing and they still cannot view a profile of someone they have not blocked ...

There seems to various combinations of what can/cannot be seen when blocking is done - from either side.

Is this possibly related to the various platforms/browsers etc that people use?

Could the Techy Whizzkid(s) shed some illumination on this matter for us? Pretty please

It gets very long-winded trying to bring Newbies up to speed about the quirks of this place when it seems the experience of the same issue varies so much from user-to-user

You Dont Need to Know, right now

I think it works that when YOU have blocked someone, you see the name grey-ed out with a crossed line through it. When THEY have blocked you, you still see the name in black with no cross-out.

I can't help with the rest, though, sorry!

That would make sense, Flirty - but it doesn't key with the experience of others I've chatted with about this. But, Cheers for the thought!
