I block easily. We forget thisvm isnt fb where blocking someone usually means they have pissed you off or done you harm. Here in fabland it just means they arent for you and a block stops them trying further and everyones time |

"My block list is full of those who have either sent disgusting messages (I'm no prude but even so....), those who have messed me about with meets, and just generally people I don't like. I've got about 20 on there I think"

My block list is fricken huge 
And that’s mainly down to messages that have been deleted (just so I don’t message again), abuse (yes us guys get it too), reference to drugs (just don’t want to be around people that do that). |

My block list includes:
People who have blocked me.
People who are 420 friendly.
People who I am not compatible with.
People with shouty ranty profiles.
People who say something racist /sexist/plain ignorant on the forums.
I will also block people as a reminder to not message them for some reason.
That leaves 40 of you left  |

Mostly single guys who don’t take no as an answers first time. There’s also couples and single women on there that have indicated in some way that they play bareback. Oh, and quite a selection that tend to pop up constantly in our ‘local updates’ that aren’t quite what we’re looking for. Think that about covers it...... |

I block people if they are rude or pushy, or if they don't take "no thanks" for an answer. Also block people who have seen the known barebackers locally so that I don't end up meeting them / catching stuff. I also block guys that live within a mile of me on the "who's nearby" function as I don't like to play on my doorstep.

Mine is massive. I block people who are racist or sexist in their profiles. People that call me a slut. People who pop up within 1/4
Mile. Those I know in my real life. Oh (this sounds way more judgy than it is meant) but i blocked a load that popped up as veris when a well known gang bang bareback was local. |

Too close, may know me in normal life or I just find them distasteful in their opinions on the forums.
This is my experience and escapism so why let them spoil it? |

 This.
If they're not looking single guys I block for same reason.
I wish fab would have a few more filter/folder options lists which would help differentiate between different type of blocking instead of having to read through the notes attached to each. Ie.... temporary/short term block or permanent never unblock block. |

I block people for offensive messages or for being bombarded by messages from someone I'm not interested in.
I've also blocked a couple of people from my local update feed. |

I block unverified women and couples that have been on for over a year yet their profiles say they are highly active, cum crazy types. If they are verified, it's by one guy, three times their age living 200 miles from them and they were similarly his only meet too. |

Crude, rude or completely obscene first messages.
Persistent messages when I've already said I'm not interested.
Forum posts that tell me they're not going to be someone I'd want to meet.
Being pestered for meets by people on my friends list. |

If I send mail and get no response I block, nothing personal just saves time so they don’t pop up on my searches again. Also when I’m offered money for sex |

I block quite frequently not just if the person has been abusive/hasn't turned up etc. As was said above, useful to stop them wasting any further time if clearly not for me and are not taking hints (do men ever take hints, by the way)? |

This there should be a period every month (no sniggering) where males can’t message females until the lady had messaged first so as to stop your inbox getting smashed (good Lord) and to encourage some gentleman like behaviour |

Usually with me, i sent a nice message then get abuse back, some women on here are full of themselves and just plain mean. Thats usually the point when i block. Oh and when guys send me dirty messages, im straight and its not appreciated so usually results in a block. |

You’d lose the context of the thread, surely that wouldn’t be a good thing. 
We block for a variety of reasons but in the main it’s for those who pester for meets or criticise us for deleteting without replying. |

If someone has been very rude to me, or if we have chatted and either their profile or photos are not attractive to me then I blick them.
If they live in the same village as me and they have looked at me then I block.
It just saves them viewing me or messaging me again. |

Its not necessarily the last straw,but if I send a well constructed message and I just get 'Hi' as a reply,i tend to block straight away.Maybe I'm being unkind as some people may just be shy?

I don't really block that many people. I've been here a couple of years and my list is small.
I have blocked people who are mean to me, a few bitchy Forumites and a few people who pester me.

I'll just add; on the thankfully rare profiles that message without any previous contact, with an abusive message. These people must have some real anger issues to vent out at total strangers unprovoked |

I have never blocked anyone.
But then I don't believe in closing doors on anyone and I have no clue what the future may bring.
If people block me it's their choice, most of the time I probably wouldn't even notice...
And if I do...well it's there issue their choice...
And life's to short to worry about those who make snap judgements based on whatever their own preconceptions are. |

I've only ever blocked one person, a woman who suddenly announced on her profile that she'd been caught cheating and was now going to "expose the cheaters".
Probably not directed at me personally, but unacceptable nevertheless. Blocked, reported, now gone.

Some of my reasons (over and above rude or compatibility issues)
If profile says can accom but then can't.
If I ask for face pic and they reply "you first"
Face pics that are so dark you can't see much.
It may sound petty but there's plenty of fish and I can't be bothered wasting time.

Yes the face pic thing is pretty annoying,especially when all they have is a silhouette!

Generally we only block if they are persistent pests who won’t take no for an answer or and this is the most common reason...because we aren’t what they are looking for, example all those that say the hate tattoos...blocked simple
Reason being is it removes those profiles from the search when your looking.

We block at the drop of a hat...if your status says something crude like "who wants to empty my balls" then you're not for us.
If we check your profile and your grammar is terrible and I mean infantile we block.
Not looking for the next Dickens but come on double check your spelling...bugger hope I've spelt everything correctly  |

We used to block guys who looked at our profile, as it was a way of avoiding the messages and inevitable abuse when we turned (most of them) down. However our block list was huge, and apparently you can only really block about 500 before the block list for your profile is full, so we had an amnesty and so far we only have about 30 people on there, those being people who just wont take no for an answer, or those we know we don't get on with. |

Rarely block people. Really only block if they send an offensive message which is rare, or more often if someone keeps bugging us and doesn't seem to get the message. Don't really see the point in blocking people just because they're not for us - it won't improve our experience of Fab, means we won't be able to respond to them in the forum, means they can't Fab our pics and we can't nosey at their pics, might be extremely embarrassing if our paths cross at a party or a club, and in general closes doors.

I block people that I am not interested in and people that unbelievably, given my good looks, charm and charisma, aren’t interested in me. I know, I can’t believe it either, my only fault is my modesty!
Saves time and saves me from bothering those that aren’t interested in me... poor misguided fools. |

Being a bloke I don’t get many messages. So even an irritating repulsive knobhead would create an interesting evening
If I ever became so popular that blocking people became an option - I’d probs be having such a good time that it wouldn’t even bother me.
Erm..... cue a collective torrent of abuse off you lot. Ha |
