Have you ever gone to look at a profile and then find you've been blocked? You've never spoken, fabbed pics or winked nothing but you’re blocked. Do you find it strange or just move on?
I do find it strange, i know people can block who they like for what ever reason they like. Its just an observation really.  |

Quite often lately, I've had people message me then block. Im guessing it's because I haven't responded immediately and they are offended  Each to their own  |

I changed my bio to
‘By messaging this account you are giving Sydney University absolute authority and ownership of your profile and it’s contents’
So so many people messaged ‘hi how are you’ then blocked straight away. Since I’ve changed it they’ve slowly been unblocking but it’s too late. I know they’re gullible.
That’s right guys. I see you. |

You can use it as a second filter, so you don't see people who have made it clear they're not interested?
Maybe there's a local poster hogging the news feed with their constant updates and pictures, and you'd like to see other people.
Plus you know, you could of course use it for the intention it was designed.
Humans are great, we find a way. I salute you all.  |

This .... or people that post things in forum I don’t like or have really differing views. |

Sometimes but then I figure that I’ve possibly posted something that has rubbed them up the wrong way or they have decided that they don’t want to have contact with me.
I know that I’m not for everyone and I’m opinionated and can be argumentative. It’s for the best if they feel that way.
*gallic shrug*
It doesn’t really matter and does me a favour |

I always go through all the posters on a block thread (or any thread) to see if they have blocked me. It’s like a little game I play with myself.
There’s usually quite a lot on my single profile tbf.

I've been blocked many times from profiles I've never look or contact, without any reason, even here from some people, altought never had any kind of interaction with them. But I don't care. At least, I am decorating their block list.  |

Back in the day on my previous profile I found I had been blocked by people that I hadn't interacted with. (Found out by looking at their profile following a forum comment).
I used to get uptight about it. Now I accept it as par for the course.
If they formed a strong enough opinion of me that they felt they needed to block me, at least they formed an opinion. Better than being invisible I guess |

"Yeah it's happened, sometimes I think it's because I've disagreed with them on the forum c'est la vie
I get the same. I think that if they can’t handle a debate, they’re not for me"
Exactly that, I don't think I'm rude with how I express myself. So if they can't handle me not agreeing with them on the forum, I don't really want to have to say no whilst in the middle of fucking as wouldn't trust their reaction to it. |

People just look at my picture and block me, meh.
I would prefer to be blocked by people who may know me, better then being ignored.
Which what happens all over fab any way even If I told people I know Friday lottery numbers. |

Yes absolutely. It could be framed as shallow when I just think they're ugly, but it's my business and when the cheaper, seedier end of this world comes into view, I really like getting rid of it. |

I’ve been blocked by a few people for no reason that I know, but they obviously have a reason, so fair play.
I’ve blocked loads myself, for the normal reasons |

90% of the the people I have blocked are because they have blocked me. I think that works for me, I’ve had people unblock me, send a snarky message and then reblock so if I go to look at a profile and I’m blocked I return the favour and the world balances |

"How do you know when you have been blocked?"
When you click on there account there’s a gif of a little man building a brick wall, he’s got a trowel in one hand and he’s whistling for some reason |

In the past few days I have gone to look at profiles from forum threads and can't but I also can't be bothered to check whether I have blocked them previously or if they have blocked me.
I just forget about it and carry on regardless.

I block people based on their forum posts quite a lot. It's not personal, just that we're not compatible in some core way and I don't want us to appear on each others radar and waste time. Others I block because I think they're nobheads I don't want looking at my pics. |

It's happened to us. We figure that they might have taken exception to something we've said in the chatroom, or they simply aren't interested for whatever reason and leave it at that. There's always a reason, but we aren't that bothered about finding out. |

We were under the impression that blocking profiles has no effect within the forums - so the posts of those who have blocked and been blocked will still be visible to eachother.
The site rules state:
"Do not use the forum to try and contact people who have BLOCKED you"

This along with if there's something similar on the profile |

I do know people in my local area whom I would prefer not to interact with. Not because of any reason other then I prefer to have contacts and friends away from where I live. I do know some parents from my daughters school are on here and to save any embarasment on either side.
I also block people who are rude and abusive, via e-mail or forums.
And people I get mixed ,essages from, one minute they like you the next they don't. I can't be bothered with it.
If people do block me, that is fine and I always think that if somehow we did meet in person then we might find out we actualy do enjoy each others company. The people I have as friends are the ones that I want to keep a connection to.
PLus if someone actualy doesn'tlike me based on sill forum post, I realy could not give an owl's hoot. |

I'm the same. I guess it saves wasting time looking at profiles that are not interested in you. When I see I have been blocked I then counter block that profile so they can't unblock me . Saves messing about |

I think they clearly don't like the word cunt.
Or maybe they're on the cheaty sneaky side of the fence and don't want me spitting venom.
Or perhaps they aren't a fan of my crudeness, crossness, crassness and shit... can't think of another |

I've done this....or if their update is rude/meeting during lockdown/being bitchy about another user ... I'm not much of a fan of negativity  |

I just think they obviously have their own reasons if they need to block someone, and if it’s a stranger it wouldn’t bother me. Just move on and don’t let it worry my mind.
Even if it was someone I had talked to, it’s their choice to block, off, maybe but as long as that button exist people will and can use it.
I like the reply button, I use that most. |

We sometimes say on forum replies to block us. For example a soft only play thread. We don't soft play, so anyone who only plays this way are free to block us. Saves us and them time in the futer reading or messaging profiles. We use blocking in a possitive way too. |

Always happens to me, usually because of somthing Iv mentioned or disagreed with in the forums what ever happened to a good old fashion debate?! It got replaced with the block button haha!
It is useful in blocking the stalkerish profiles always lurking in your who’s viewed page.
