"i dont think it,s a godsend wen people can block you for no reason."
The person who is doing the blocking may have a reason, it may not seem its a reason to you...we just have to get on with it and accept that we get blocked on here and sometimes ignored in real life  |

I once received a wink and then between the time it took me to look to see who winked they had blocked me!
I often ponder what went on in their mind...
00:00 - Hello hello, I like the cut of his jib pert buttox, might have a cheeky wink
00:01 - Oh God, what made me do that, I never wink, fuck what shall I do?
00:02 - I fucking hate that fucking fuck for making me wink, I never show weakness like that usually.
00:03 - Fuck you Funky you fucking cunt! BLOCKKKKK |

You're blocked for being far to sensible and reasonable with your points  |

"some people ask for pics then block so they dont have to send theirs back."
If they've seen your pic then blocked you, take it as a hint they don't fancy you. Simples
Worry more about what you can control over what you can't. You'll have more fun here that way |

They don't have to send them back at all. If you aren't what they want then no point carrying on. You could ask for a face pic first. If you don't like them you don't have to send one back |

But anyone who blocks you does have a reason. They've just decided there's no sense getting into a conversation to tell you why. |

"It's there for a purpose. Everyone uses it differently. I've been blocked without ever speaking to people and I have a lot on my block list"
Me too. Was browsing the forum last week and went to take a sneaky peek at a profile of someone I've never corresponded with or even engaged with on the forum to find I was blocked!
All part of the fun, not bothered by it but no idea why they blocked me unless I'd posted something they found offensive? |

Nobody blocks for no reason. No reason you can see, understand or agree with maybe, but they always have a reason. |

Never apologise for disagreeing its your opinion after all.
However you may find you get blocked by others for having that opinion |

the block button is not a weapon, it is merely another tool, alot of people use it as a filter so if they decide they are never going to meet that person they will block them to save any further contact, if you send someone a facepic they may decide you arent for them, they dont need or have to reply with a face pic and simply apply the block again to save any further contact, some people look into things far to much, its a simple tool on a website. |

We do use it as a filter but we often have it used against us when we point out to people that we dont accept the random friend requests or the d*unken messages from male halves of profiles seem to send on a weekend so they save us blocking them  |

I block and have been blocked...on occasion (usually when noseying a forum poster) I've noticed they've blocked me - it skips across my mind to wonder whether it was someone I said thanks but no thanks to or whether they've taken umbrage at one of my ramblings but that's the extent of my wonderings and I move on...there's always a reason someone blocks you, you're just not aware of it |

not that I look at many profiles but when I do and I find myself blocked, I smile and get on with my life.
I haven't needed medication or counselling, so all is good |

We block plenty.
We even block profiles proactively that we'll never in a million years be interested in. Saves us time when browsing as they won't show in searches - and saves the person blocked time should they ever try and message us.
It's nothing personal - just another filter.
A permanent one.

Indignity? Injured pride.
Suffering? Need a thicker skin on here my friend.
Only two people on the site know you have been blocked.
You.
Them that blocked you.
Oh and platinum members.
And Moodymoo, but she knows EVERYTHING! |

Your experience on here will be so much better if you don't dwell on things you have no control over. No one blocks for no reason, a reason you will never know so really shouldn't worry about. Just move on and don't waste time worrying about it because they won't. |

I wouldn't stay on here if it wasn't for the block button, there are some creepy people about who keep messaging you even when you have said you aren't interested. even ones you have met and thought were nice. I try to be nice only sometimes its not worth it, people take the piss. |

Bear in mind some will block for innocuous things like using commas (,) when it should be an apostrophe ('). However trivial you think the reasoning behind the block is, its enough of a reason for them not to want any contact from you

I don't really notice being blocked as, if they don't show up on search, how would I know?
I know I have been unblocked though. One forum user had messaged me when I first joined and I must have said no so was blocked (his prerogative. I didn't mind at all) then last year I noticed I was unblocked. So some people believe in block amnesties |

As a platinum member, I have the ability to track those who misuse apostrophes and then post dog poo through their door...I take advantage of this and it helps to ensure the streets of Arse End are clean |

My block list is huge! And I'm sure i am on many many block lists and that's fine. It's a site tool. There to be used. I use mine as a filter or for other reasons like don't want to meet someone. Saves them and me wasting time. Don't like it? Great! Feel free to block me. |

I don't think we have used the block button out of "necessity".

I had someone block me, then he unblocked me and asked to meet, I refused, so he blocked me again....then he unblocked in order to ask for a meet again....So I just hit the block button myself, to save him from it again and again.
People use it for all sorts of reason |
