I wouldn't have a clue who's blocked me or why

I also couldn't care

It could be because of my age

It could be because I'm a man

It could be because I'm a dickhead

I do block people that send me messages having a go at me and block me before I can reply

Cause they're gobshites

Yeah I'm blocked by a decent few

Maybe I'm too HILARIOUS for them

Ah no it's probably mainly some of my views I express on the forums. I don't be losing sleep over it anyways, more than enough sound heads on here 🫡

Sure we are all blocked by someone for reasons we don’t know . No interaction with some but they just don’t want to see us . So what really who cares .

I dont block that many people,

Im more likely to block someone because they pop up on my local updates with annoying messages or people who message constantly without me replying.

Then there are people I think are absolutely idiots but blocking them is pointless because they don't message me and id still have to see them post here anyway

I haven't blocked anyone in a few years but I looked at a thread in the lounge a few months ago and of the 7 or 8 women posting on it I couldn't see 5 of their profiles.

I'd never spoken directly to any of them so I can only assume they don't like my forum contributions and decided to block me for that.

I'm ok with that and it doesn't bother me because in the past I've blocked people for the same reason.

I’m blocked by several people for god knows what reason, some I’ve never spoken with ever on here. I did have a hunch about 1 person though and I proved myself right, it was a neighbours wife ( he doesn’t know ) and she blocked me here. But I get my revenge each and every time I see her at the local shop, smiling to myself … block me now bitch 😂

So some people actually block others on here because they don’t agree with something they have posted......wow!

As long as its not abusive or doesnt infringe the forum rules it seems like a petty thing to do and surely defeats the main purpose of a forum which should be to allow for both concurring and dissenting opinions.

As stated above they still have to see posts from those they have blocked which may bother some individuals but if they find such posts to be annoying they can choose to ignore them, as they are entitled to do, and simply move on to the next comment or thread.

The forums are meant to be fun and informative for all and surely should not be solely a facilitating fanzine for the few.

I only recall ever blocking 2 people.

One was an eejit and the other messaged me because I called her out on her blatant hypocrisy on the forums. I got a ban for that too

My block list is empty now so they must have left.

If anyone has blocked me, I haven't clicked on their profile yet to find out.

Ah people are bothered by me cos I post a lot and keep status updates I’ve had abuse for it strangely so I don’t really care who blocks me if I don’t know them personally . Can’t be too everyone’s taste anyway

I haven't had any reason to block anyone. I am blocked by 2 profiles that I'm aware of and there are probably more. I'm sure they have their reasons and I have no need to know what they are. That's life 🙏

Isn't it largely the same as being left in unread? Plenty do that to me as well.

I'm all for fun and open discussion on the forums but when someone asks my opinion in private on a forum topic and half an hour later the person who started the thread repeats word for word what I said to that other person in private I know games are being played so I block them both.

When a regular forum user decides the best way to get a few brown-nose points is to pick apart my profile on a thread I'll block him too and remove that option.

When someone constantly messages to keep me updated with all the background drama and the real story behind some forum threads and don't seem to understand that I don't know any of the people they are talking about and don't give a fuck about the shit they are stirring, I'll block them too.

I have 42 people on my block list. Only a handful of those are there for forum comments but none of those comments could ever be confused with fun or open discussion.

If it's such a petty thing why does it seem to bother you so much?

As you have clearly demonstrated being blocked by people doesn't impact the forums it just stops you being able to contact them privately, and view their profile.

Seems a fairly logical and balanced topl for people to use should they wish

It's not petty to me. If I fundamentally disagree with someon I don't want them to be able to interact with me privately. That's the purpose of blocking them. It has nothing to do with free discourse on the forums

No I didn’t message them. They were standing beside me when we shared profile details. Went to add them to my hotlist so I could verify them afterwards.

I couldn’t give two flying fucks why someone has me blocked. It doesn’t matter to me anyway. They obviously have a reason. Maybe they slid over to my profile, had a quick snoop and thought I wasn’t for them or that they weren’t good enough for me

I’ve about forty odd blocked, mainly coz I view them as being arseholes because of some comments they made on the forums, because they have a status update looking for something that is completely at contrast with what’s written on their profile or they are looking for drugs on a status. Yes, that old chestnut where people say, I’ve never seen anyone on here looking for drugs. Well Sunny, have a look at the weekend nights or early mornings.

And, I know for a fact, there’s a few whoppers on this thread that I’ve blocked or they blocked me. 🤣🤣🤣

And I don’t block the White Knights or the gaslighting brigade coz I’ve males blocked from contacting me. 🙈

It’s like a therapy session this, it’s fucking great. 😊

Have you ever stopped to think that it was the Mrs that blocked you?

That doesn't mean she was into you.

"So some people actually block others on here because they don’t agree with something they have posted......wow!

As long as its not abusive or doesnt infringe the forum rules it seems like a petty thing to do and surely defeats the main purpose of a forum which should be to allow for both concurring and dissenting opinions.

As stated above they still have to see posts from those they have blocked which may bother some individuals but if they find such posts to be annoying they can choose to ignore them, as they are entitled to do, and simply move on to the next comment or thread.

The forums are meant to be fun and informative for all and surely should not be solely a facilitating fanzine for the few.

If it's such a petty thing why does it seem to bother you so much?

As you have clearly demonstrated being blocked by people doesn't impact the forums it just stops you being able to contact them privately, and view their profile.

Seems a fairly logical and balanced topl for people to use should they wish"

.....

I'm not sure if being blocked bothers me half as much as my mentioning it on here, if and when it is on topic on a thread, seems to bother some others. But it is always nice to know people read my posts and take note of my comments whether they agree with them or not.

There are lots of valid reasons for people to press the "B" button but to do so simply because of disagreeing with something posted on a thread is in my opinion being petty and small minded.

"I often think it's like being in a bar, a few catch you're attention ad and few you ignore.

No point in worrying about it. it's always to do with the hubby let's be honest, im always straight up talking i flirt like mad and sometimes hubby's prefare someone there wife isn't into in my opinion, it's been like that from day dot, iv met bi couples and played with the wife while hubby watches and hopefully again, it's a lot easier and the banter is 10 times better than trying to talk to some couples who don't really know what they want.

Have you ever stopped to think that it was the Mrs that blocked you?

She may have been friendly and chatted at the time. People generally do that, and are pleasant at socials and parties.

yea pretty much stopped to think after she gave me her number....so yea it is the boring penfolds who do have a problem with there woman meeting a real man. Sorry to explain it that way but it's true.

I'm all for fun and open discussion on the forums but when someone asks my opinion in private on a forum topic and half an hour later the person who started the thread repeats word for word what I said to that other person in private I know games are being played so I block them both.

When a regular forum user decides the best way to get a few brown-nose points is to pick apart my profile on a thread I'll block him too and remove that option.

When someone constantly messages to keep me updated with all the background drama and the real story behind some forum threads and don't seem to understand that I don't know any of the people they are talking about and don't give a fuck about the shit they are stirring, I'll block them too.

I have 42 people on my block list. Only a handful of those are there for forum comments but none of those comments could ever be confused with fun or open discussion.

A cunt is a cunt regardless of gender. "

......

I get the occasional private message from people who may agree with something I have posted but don’t feel free to express their view openly on here.

I suppose it is understandable that the fear of being omitted from social/party invite lists or being blocked by others participating on a thread if they were seen to disagree with them can often dictate how people interact on the forums.

I rarely block and when I do it's usually for anything relating to racism, misogyny, misandry and bullying, or perhaps a flagrant red flag.

A 'counterblock' from me is even rarer.

I don’t know how many profiles have me blocked but I’d say the main reason would be because if I read a profile and under the heading of “Instant Block” are the words “cock pics on profile” and they haven’t already blocked me, I’ll send a dick pic to let them know, because I’m nice like that…..

An excellent point, and very well made if I may say so.

I understand that a difference in firmly held life views might be a reason to cut all communication with someone and better that they declare their position openly than hide behind some sort of facade in order to ingratiate themselves themselves with others in the hope of maybe getting a ride.

Often the reason for blocking isn't for any fundamental difference in values but is because of bruised egos or vindictiveness on the part of someone that feels they have been upstaged or have had their true colours exposed on here.

Again not a real problem from my point of view, but what I do find objectionable is people encouraging others to also block those that they themselves have an issue with.

I'm glad you now can understand why it's not petty.

But whatever is eating you? You really need to let it go. Or actually say what you want to say. These loaded posts are cringeworthy. Sometimes a block is just a block. It's not that deep, however much you want it to be.

There are more than enough threads forum-wide that discuss people's reasons for employing a block. The reasons are many and varied, from administrative to self preservation and everything in between. Vindictiveness encouraged by others though? Occasionally, maybe. Often? Unlikely. However difficult it may be to accept, sometimes people independently arrive at the same conclusion. Just because some people share an opinion, it doesn't mean that a plot was hatched behind closed doors with the express purpose of sowing seeds.

I use the block button for persistent messaging or people being rude or ive had some people obviously recognising me and using my actual name which they think gives them one up but actually freaks me out

Other reasons were people viewing my profile more than I liked as they were way outside my age range nothing too deep just something I didn't like I dont think ive blocked anyone for a forum opinion whats the point you still see them here

We do block more based on forum posts than based on direct messages. I guess we were overall lucky so far with DMs. Yes, we do get the occasional creep but overall its not as bad as one would think.

There are however many forum posts that expose the type of people we have zero interest in engaging with in any way whatsoever. Homophobic, racist, right wing, conspiracy or other stupid or sexist comments gets the block. There is nothing petty about that, its simply a way of filtering out people we do not wish to engage with.

Don't really block people unless they are repetively annoying. A one off abusive message doesn't warrant a reply or a block. They clearly have no interest in interacting. I've never needed to block people for their forum posts or views. I've a good memory for dickheads.

..

Obviously a block can create a thread topic in which some people are interested and wish to comment, while it may remain totally irrelevant to others as is the case with most threads.

There are miriad reasons for blocking and the effect may provoke as many different responses from those that are blocked.

It can prevent people from joining in forum games which require you to reply privately if the OP has you blocked which limits participation in some fun aspects of the forums.

It can even get your username mentioned in a thread title which at least says you are grabbing someone's attention on here.

The B button is an integral if sometimes controversial part of the site and I'm sure will continue to pop up as a topic on here from time to time.

I made the thread because you continuously mention being blocked by people on threads that are unrelated to blocking.

That shows a complete lack of self awareness, humility and respect of those people's boundaries.

Which is probably why so many of them have you blocked.

Not a lack of humor, not a misunderstanding just an outright dislike of your contributions.

And yes it grabbed my attention, now if you think all attention is good attention then I guess happy days.

We block liberally.

- The profile I'm pretty sure is the guy two doors down from my house (too close for comfort)

- the people that post transphobic/homophobic/racist/misogynistic comments in forums (I wouldn't want to meet them anyway)

- the ones that multiple PM and don't get the hint that we have read it and not replied

- because they aren't within our preferences, be that age, location, or they seem like they might be married (and here without spouses knowledge)

- they come across as entitled in their status updates or forum posts. Although that is normally a private note not a block.

- and sometimes because they have been combative with me (Vics) in forums because we are ethical and don't deal with married guys.

It can prevent people from joining in forum games which require you to reply privately if the OP has you blocked which limits participation in some fun aspects of the forums.

It can even get your username mentioned in a thread title which at least says you are grabbing someone's attention on here.

I would have to scroll back to check but I don't believe I have ever actually posted off topic on this subject. One person's lack of self awareness may be another's openness and honesty.

I absolutely agree that humility may not be one of my strongest characteristics but I believe I am always respectful of people's boundaries and I expect the same in return.

Putting someone's username in a thread title in a "put down" sort of way might not be seen as the most respectful thing to do but I happily took it in good humour as I hoped it was intended. I am somewhat dissapointed to think it may have been based on a dislike of my posts.

As is advised by the site if you dislike a particular post, ignore it and move on or if it breaksthe site rules report it.

To be as clear as I can possibly be....

I have no objection to being blocked by people for reasons of significant difference in life values, because of age or other preferences, relationship status, location or any other of the vast number of reasons that may prompt a block.

My only gripe is with people being advised/instructed to block others or risk being ostracised themselves because of some personal dislike someone has towards another site member.

(I hope I have made my position clear and in the interest of not hogging the forums or causing possible annoyance I promise to refrain from further comment on the "B" word for the foreseeable future).

I’ve been chatting to a profile on here that I suspected was a catfish early on, but they had a few verifications so I wasn’t sure. Anyway I proved they were a catfish and they blocked me but don’t know how they got the verifications and continue to

just because someone doesn't meet you doesn't mean they are a catfish...I was called this a few years ago because I didn't meet someone because something came up, I was even brought up on some podcast 😂 can't remember the name of it but I just got a reminder thismorning by that person as she liked my photos lol, and I'm unblocked now 😂

Where did I say anything about meeting them? That wasn’t ever discussed between us anyway. There’s a lot of reasons I suspected (none a refusal to meet) but the obvious giveaway was sending me a load of pictures of ‘her’ which was pretty easy to prove was a low level ex love island star.

It's pretty easy for a single female catfish profile to get veris from guys in the hope of getting the ride in return!

So the lads willing to give these fake veris are part of the problem
