Your use of block function

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

do you use the block function on here much if you do what makes you use it?

do you use it only if someone has contacted you or as a precaution to stop them from contacting you in the future or just so they cant ever look at you?

Ive noticed a few blocks by people Ive never spoken to or liked any of their pics or anything like that and unlikely to in the future which is up to them and fine but not sure what it actually achieves as I was never going to contact them anyway

I only block back as im petty like that but dont block anyone first as I dont care who looks or who doesnt

what are your reasons for using block?

I very rarely use it. Someone really had to be pestering me in PMs for that.

I sometimes use it for Tories, not conservatives, but Tories specifically

I block someone if I find their profile majorly off putting or they have an offensive attitude that way they don't come up in my local updates.

I’m blocked by a few too. I’m going to go with they don’t like me or how I come across in the forums which is fine as I don’t care.

I use it when someone repeatedly messages me and I’m not interested or if I recognise them.

I block people who's status are moaning about the sight and say they're are gonna leave but still on a week later moaning about it. I block people who in first message are just damn right vulgar and those constantly message even though I've said a polite no x

I have blocked loads for various reasons,

One of them is if I send a message to a woman or couple and they read it and delete it then I block them,

Cleary they are not interested in me so I won't waste my time or theirs in the future with messaging them,

All the time but you really have to piss me off, for me to use it.

Mutual blocking, block me I’ll block back.

Homophobic, Transphobic, Racist etc..

Views you have on the forums that I find abhorrent, why meet someone you know you won’t get on with ?

Those who message continuously and don’t get the hint or direct ...I’m not interested.

I’d say I have an average amount of people I’ve blocked over the years. Not so many these days as I have chilled out now and don’t get too upset over things.

When I first joined if I messaged someone and they didn’t reply, deleted it etc I used to block them. Not bec I was petty (although I am ) just so I didn’t waste mine or their time messaging them again by accident.

I haven’t done that for a long time though. I don’t think I’ve blocked anyone on this profile or my previous couple

Normally I block abusive people, people who message disgusting things (poo play) and such..

That’s all, unless you’ve annoyed me...

Then I usually unblock after a day or so.

Preemptive measure more than anything. If I dislike somebody for whatever reason, be it interaction on the forum or just not getting any good vibe from their profile during a search. It would remove any chance of a private interaction from them, no matter how small a chance it might be.

Maybe they have said something extremely creepy in a status or on the forum and people don't feel comfortable with them viewing their profile/pics. Block fixes that.

Thing is, unless you are looking at their profile you won't know if you are blocked.

yeah but what does blocking someone because you dont like their forum posts achieve other than that initial rush of satisfaction of pressing the button cos you can still see all their forum posts I think / unless theyre messaging you or pestering you when it would make sense of course

I would get it if it hid their forum posts from you but it doesn’t you can still see them as far as I know??

yeah that makes sense if you dont want them seeing your pics etc but if someone is really determined to look then there are ways but it does stop the casual perve I suppose

The reason we also block some people after reading their forum posts is if we get a message from them maybe 6 weeks, or 6 months later, we would have forgotten about their posts. Blocking initially takes that risk away.
