Also needs to present himself at the local cop shop when an auction is being run - Jaffa gives him 48 hours notice | |||

"My phone screen is cracked with a focal crack exactly where the block option is. Sometimes the pressure of the cracks, simply applies and I have to undo blocks that the phone cracks have applied...... It's true! Don't over think random blocks. if you ve been pestering and not accepting no reply is a reply, well then that might be a reason. " You must have been blocking like crazy to crack the screen!  | |||

"Why are people so offended by the block button?" ...because it stops one from perving on others, even though the possibility/intention of meeting is very slim?

"We haven't seen a thread on the good ol "B" button for a while. It can be a bit disconcerting when you get blocked without knowing the reason why. But I fully support the blockers absolute right to do so for whatever their reason may be and I see it as their loss at not getting the benefit of my wit and wisdom in the future. Not being able to post on particular threads if the OP has you blocked as they may see it as an attempt to circumvent a block and report you, it does happened, limits full participation in some topics but if the OP has you blocked you are better off not massaging their ego by posting on what are often quite boring threads anyway. And a block is not for life, I have been un-blocked by some people after we met at socials and they realised what they were missing out on by not engaging in an adult way with me and my quirky sense of humour. Fab will never be as much fun as it could be for those with there heads stuck so far up themselves they can only look inwards and not see all the opportunity for fun that surrounds them." I had no idea you couldn't post on a thread of someone who blocked you started. That would be annoying. | |||

No. You can post freely. So long as you stay on topic, don't try to circumvent the block and don't specifically refer to the block, even if the OP were to report you, you'd only receive a ban if you break forum rules | |||

"It's not against the rules to interact with someone who has blocked you here in the forums, as long as you don't solicit their attention on the forums to circumvent the block.

Noone will get banned for normal forum interactions that are not personal to someone blocked.

No matter how innocent the post is the blocker can still take umbrage and report the person for circumventing their block. Yes it is up to the moderators to decide whether or not to implement a ban but by posting in these circumstances you leave yourself open to sanction. Keep the forums fun! | |||

" As I said above, I'm blocked by numerous people who post in this forum and many more in the lounge. There are some where I won't comment on any thread they start, not because of sanctions but because they are complete arseholes and I just don't give them the satisfaction of posting on their thread. At the same time both here and in the lounge there are a number of people who have blocked me but continue to have direct conversations and discussions with me on various threads without any mention of being blocked. Some of those interactions are very positive so I don't get too bothered about who has blocked me or hung up on how they may react to anything I say. | |||

"We block very few people. If asked a question about meeting I'll reply, if I'm not meeting guys I'll say. If they message more I'll just delete but if they keep hassling then I'll block. I find that people generally just respect a polite answer. " I would imagine that was the normal etiquette. Sounds very reasonable to me. | |||

"If "unsolicited" first messages, provided they comply with site rules, were a valid reason for getting blocked then no messages would ever be sent..... The "precious prince and princesses" on here need to be more diligent on how they set up their mail filters to ensure they are not disturbed by unwelcome mail. " Or, if the "precious princes and princesses" (who seem so incensed at being blocked) thought of filters as a broad brush, and the block button as a fine detail brush, perhaps they'd be less offended by it, and would feel less inclined to throw shade at those who are navigating Fab in a way that is manageable for them. | |||

I am no admin but some of them have been removed. Not by blocking me. Of course not but by the sheer nastiness they had in the chat. Admins can see deleted chats as well.

The majority of our blocks are people we would rather not interact with, have a joy for causing drama or people who don't read our profile. Filters are a starting point, blocking is where we refine our fabswingers experience. | |||

" You had a thread a few months ago about how you had cleared your block list and from memory you said that it made your experience so much better. Most people on that thread including me said that the exact opposite was true for them and that using the block button was a great way of avoiding drama and people they had no interest in. I've no doubt that all the people who have blocked me feel exactly the same way and they are using one of the best tools on the site for their own benefit. For a man who claims that blocking is frivolous and of no benefit I'm curious why you bring up the subject so often? I have tight mail filters and get very little mail and in all my years here I've probably only had a handful of messages that could be classed as nasty or abusive. Every one of those were from women and couples as a direct response to me politely turning them down and they were all immediately blocked and still are. I don't block just for the sake of it and it's probably 2 or 3 years since I last blocked someone but there are fab rules and there are my rules. Those are more strict than the site rules and I make no apology for blocking lots of "hot" people. | |||

It has made my experience on fab more enjoyable as I dont have a negative list attached to my fab profile. I can only suppose that those I had blocked have moved on and no longer wish to interact with me or have left the site. I have since ad to block a small number of people as a result of receiving some inappropriate messages. I don't believe that I bring up the subject of blocking very often and in the case of this thread I was mearly responding to a thread posted by the OP. If people didn't reply to threads there would be no forums. | |||
