"How is it that folk you block aren’t blocked on the forum...? Think if you block someone it should be throughout the site. Agree ? " Do you mean if you've blocked someone, you shouldn't see their contributions on the forums while everyone else still could? Each post would be all disjointed as the parts of the conversation from the people you had blocked would be missing. If you meant once you'd been blocked by someone, you can no longer post on the forum at all, no-one would ever get to post. | |||

"It's not fair or right to block them from forums fullstop, but I don't think the OP means that. If I've blocked someone it's for a specific reason and not frivolous. I sure as hell don't want to see their comments in the forums, nor for them to see mine. I want my privacy." Yes thank you!! I don’t mean that they are blocked completely only to view me on forums and visa versa. I only block someone for a good reason not for a silly reason. | |||

And yes the time you report it and their comment is removed the damage is done | |||

"Yup. It's not that hard or time consuming to add in some extra code to block folk from seeing the blocked here." I still don't understand what you want. If someone you've blocked comments on a thread, do you want to not be shown that entire thread or just their contributions? If the latter, what if you've got 3 people on the thread blocked? The conversation wouldn't make any sense to you as the censoring would mean it would skip about. | |||

What I would like: if I block someone it’s for a darn good reason, so I wouldn’t want them to see my responses in forums. I’d much rather the convo didn’t quite make sense rather than have to put up with crap from blocked folk. Trust me if you’d have had the same you’d have the same opinion. It’s easy to make judgement if you haven’t had something similar. | |||

I think if you don't want someone seeing what you post then simply don't post it, only post comments that you don't mind being visible for all to see. If I'm honest it's like being back in a primary school when you didn't like someone you would whisper in your friends ear so they couldn't hear you lol. It's really just the same thing lol | |||

You can block individuals in groups on the book of face & it works well. " Most people we’ve blocked recently have been because of their forum posts as they don’t sound like the type of people we would be interested in. It also states in the forum rules if someone has blocked you don’t try and use the forum to contact them so it would be good if there was another function which meant you could block out people’s forum posts as well if you wished | |||

You can block individuals in groups on the book of face & it works well. Why though? What does it really matter?" For us fab is about fun and it’s a kind of escape from everything else we do in life. We like the anonymity of it and the secrecy of it adds to the thrill. When you are on the forums and people are posting about football, politics, the royal family blah blah it becomes like every other social media platform we have and the escapism in it is diluted. So if we see people continually posting these things we would like to be able to block their posts so we could enjoy all the stuff we like and not see the stuff we don’t like. Of course there will be people that say “well skim past it” or “ignore it” but it’s more likely we’ll see it and decide to stay away from the forum altogether. In life we choose who we listen to and who we don’t why can’t fan be the same? | |||

Stalking, nasty bitching & gossiping etc. You'd hope adults would behave better but the internet removes social norms for some...or maybe they're just fucked up saddos in real life too. Sure you can limit what you post, it's just a stupid forum. I rarely bother with it. Remove yourself from their pointless games is the other option but some like it as an outlet and free space. Properly blocking people is the easier cover+all option | |||
