"They probably blocked you so they don't message you again. It's not being rude it's a practical way of removing you from their searches. You've said no therefore it shouldn't bother at all. If you hadn't had looked at their profile after you'd said no you would be none the wiser. " We went to remove the friend link, hence we discovered it had hapoened.. look surely if someone politely says no then it is good manners to either just let it go or reply politely. | |||

If they did this you'd wonder why they were hassling you again. By blocking it saves a lot of aggro. Blocking is not bad manners at all. | |||

" ^ this It saves them having to remember who they have contacted in the past and who said no thank you. It also means you won't show in their searches, so searches show those who may be interested rather than a lot of people who aren't. They weren't being rude. I can't see why you would think that. It's just a practical way of using the site tools to find people interested in meets. If they'd replied "fuck you then" and then blocked you, that would be rude. Just blocking isn't rude. They assumed you wouldn't want to exchange further messages and took a practical step to avoid bothering you. | |||

"Its more a case of shocked than bothered. we wouldnt mind if we had told them to sod off or something, but we said goid luck and wished them well. " then they block you to save messaging again by mistake, when you've already politely said no thank you. | |||

"Its more a case of shocked than bothered. we wouldnt mind if we had told them to sod off or something, but we said goid luck and wished them well. " Why shocked? You said no thanks, they blocked you to prevent inadvertently contacting you again. If you said no why go back and look at their profile? People can't win! | |||

"We have blocked people yes, but for good reason, not for saying no! Thats just stupid" Their "good reason" could be to not contact people who have already said "no". May I suggest you get over yourselves. YOU said no: what's your problem?  | |||

You're as daft as the op: THEY said no, yet THEY are upset the other party blocked them to make sure they didn't pester them again. From where I'm sat I think they dodged a bullet being knocked back. | |||

Huh? You're talking about people that block. The question is whether they use the private notes to remind themselves why. Whatever you assume, I am telling you for a fact that some people DO use the private notes to make a note of why they blocked someone. Plus, not everyone uses the chatroom so don't worry whether they'd want to chat to people there. And some people don't block people who've turned them down or that they don't want to meet. They use the private notes to note that they've been turned down and, well, they know if they don't want to meet someone! I'm really not seeing why this is complicated or why so many people waste time bothering about it. | |||

"The point is this, manners count. It really is that simple. And as for dodging bullets, insults only show the level of your intellect. " Some see it as good manners to take steps to avoid bothering you again. YOU made the decision that you weren't interested. Why is it bad manners? You weren't interested, they have accepted that and removed you from their pool of interested/might be interested. That decision was yours. | |||

"Some people worry far too much about who has blocked them and why. Concentrate on the people who are interested, or might be interested, and forget the ones who aren't. It's a waste of time and energy worrying about being blocked. " and I never said I was worried about it. The word I used was shocked. Which is something completely different. But I do owe you all a thank you because the last part of my night shift has gone quite quickly lol | |||

"personally, i would only block someone if they are abusive. however, i do not get over 100 e-mails a day i can understand why people choose do do it, but there is a disadvantage." Obviously there isn't a disadvantage or people wouldn't do it. I don't find any disadvantage in blocking people I'm not interested in meeting. I don't want to chat with them. Just because you run your account a certain way does not mean that way would suit everyone. Each person uses the site in a way that's right for them, whether that suits you or not. They're here for their benefit, not yours. | |||

"The point is this, manners count. It really is that simple. And as for dodging bullets, insults only show the level of your intellect. " I'm honestly stumped by your attitude. If someone said no to me I would block. Not to be "rude" but to prevent myself bothering them again sometime in the future. You somehow see that as a slight. What would your reaction be if they contacted you in a couple of weeks? A forum thread about people pestering you after you've said no?
As for my intellect: hmmm... | |||

Blocking doesn't prevent anyone from chatting in the fora

"if someone is abusive to you then you block them. you can block someone, maybe a nice person, after they have sent you an e-mail because you don't like their profile. they both appear on your block list, but how do you tell the difference between them? if your in the forum/chat room and you notice that you have blocked a user, how do you know why you have block them? personally, i would want to know why i had blocked the user. What are you on about? if you block someone because you don't want to meet them, for whatever reason, then they appear on you block list. if you block someone because they are abusive to you then they appear on you block list. if your in the forum and you notice you have blocked someone, how do you tell the difference? a) Why does it matter? You don't want to exchange messages with them. Why does it matter why? b) Use the private notes function to jot down the reason for the block. a) because when you are in the forum/chat room people like to chat. you might want to chat with someone you don't want to meet and not chat to the abusive person. b) i assume most people don't do that, they just block. Huh? You're talking about people that block. The question is whether they use the private notes to remind themselves why. Whatever you assume, I am telling you for a fact that some people DO use the private notes to make a note of why they blocked someone. Plus, not everyone uses the chatroom so don't worry whether they'd want to chat to people there. And some people don't block people who've turned them down or that they don't want to meet. They use the private notes to note that they've been turned down and, well, they know if they don't want to meet someone! I'm really not seeing why this is complicated or why so many people waste time bothering about it. i am talking about people that block because the op was blocked, not for being abusive, but for turning down a meet from the person that sent the e-mail. You don't get that it's a convenient way of ensuring they don't contact someone not interested again in future and ensuring their searches aren't full of people who are not interested? Why would anyone waste time chatting to people who aren't interested? Move on. Find the people who are interested. i understand perfectly the advantages of it. lots of people are not interested in meeting me, but they still chat to me in the chat rooms and the forums. Blocking doesn't prevent anyone from chatting in the fora

not knowing why you have blocked someone is a disadvantage. they might not be bothered about it, i understand that.

if i was concerned about them knowing then i would have created the thread, lol i did not create it. "The thread isn't about whether they know why they blocked someone
There's no disadvantage to not knowing why you blocked someone if you don't care why.
I block people I've declined to meet, or who have declined to meet me, sometimes. I can assure you there is no disadvantage to not knowing why I did it. All I need to know is that I don't want to exchange messages with them.
If you do care, as you do, there is means to address that.
If you potentially do want to chat, I'd simply suggest not blocking! By blocking you will, by default, not chat to anyone abusive, as well as anyone else you don't want to chat to. If you don't want to chat, you don't want to chat. I still don't see why knowing the reason matters.
You seem to think I mean there is no need to know why you have blocked someone because they might not be bothered.
That's not what I am saying. I'm saying some people who do the blocking don't care if they (in future) know why. They know they don't want to exchange messages and that's all they need to know.
I'm still confused here.

"We have blocked people yes, but for good reason, not for saying no! Thats just stupid" I block people because I'm not interested in chatting with or meeting them, not because they have offended me always. That saves either of us getting in contact again by accident, so prevents any time being wasted in unfruitful messaging. It's not like they reported you, that's different  | |||

If you've blocked them for whatever reason, if you're that bothered you can leave a note on their profile stating why." As long as you do it before blocking as you can't message someone you have blocked. | |||

"We have just been blocked because we said no. How does that work? " Why is that an issue? You said no! They probably blocked you so that you don't come up in a search and so that they can't send you further messages. | |||

You can still write private notes after blocking someone. | |||

"personally, i would only block someone if they are abusive. however, i do not get over 100 e-mails a day i can understand why people choose do do it, but there is a disadvantage. Obviously there isn't a disadvantage or people wouldn't do it. I don't find any disadvantage in blocking people I'm not interested in meeting. I don't want to chat with them. Just because you run your account a certain way does not mean that way would suit everyone. Each person uses the site in a way that's right for them, whether that suits you or not. They're here for their benefit, not yours."  | |||

"Its not rude at all to block after a polite no thanks. As others have said, it stops them contacting you again in the future. I have lost count of the number of times the same guys have messaged me clearly not realising they've messaged before. Its a waste of their time and mine. I think its a good thing to do and in a strange way, they're actually doing you a favour. Why some people get so worked up about being blocked by a total stranger they don't know are are not interested in I'll never know." | |||

There is a big difference in my opinion. Posting on a thread is taking part in the discussion of that particular thread and maybe commenting on what others have said, not just the blocked person. If they say something personal that has nothing to do with the thread then it could be seen as trying to get around a block which is against site rules. Many people block others in the forums for whatever reason and have never actually privately messaged them so they are probably blissfully unaware they're blocked. It would take out huge chunks of a thread and wouldn't make sense. | |||

"Its the height of bad manners" Some people block to stop them from.mistakenly contacting people who have turned them down. It's how they manage their profile and their prerogative. What is the height of bad manners is loudly declaiming that person all over a public forum where they will be able to recognise themselves. If your self image is such that being blocked by a stranger makes you this angry you probably need to step back. | |||

If you hadn't had looked at their profile after you'd said no you would be none the wiser. We went to remove the friend link, hence we discovered it had hapoened.. look surely if someone politely says no then it is good manners to either just let it go or reply politely. They did let it go, that's why they blocked you. They didn't block you to be nasty or rude it just saves them the embarrassment of messaging you again in a few months time. If they did this you'd wonder why they were hassling you again. By blocking it saves a lot of aggro. Blocking is not bad manners at all. " | |||

Plus admin would have to ensure that every thread was checked and for each person only viewing it (how would they know who is viewing it?), that anyone they have blocked cannot be seen by them.

"the forum block is there to give the op authority and control of the thread that has been created. the blocked user will still be able to see everything. however, it's just that the blocked user will not be able to comment on any of the threads the op has created. it is true that the blocked user will be able to make contact on another thread that has been commented on. however, if a person decides to comment on another thread then they do so voluntarily and therefore must accept that risk. | |||

"They probably blocked you so they don't message you again. It's not being rude it's a practical way of removing you from their searches. You've said no therefore it shouldn't bother at all. If you hadn't had looked at their profile after you'd said no you would be none the wiser. " | |||

"if you block someone should it be applied to the forum as well? what is the difference between sending e-mail and posting on someone's thread? Admin have asked this in the past. Apparently the majority vote was no. lol, i am not surprised by that I vote no too so I'm glad Admin went with the prevailing view. It would make the threads horribly disjointed and if someone quoted them, you'd see some of it anyway. Also, just because someone has blocked you, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy what they have to say in here.
why will it make the thread disjointed? if you block someone then that person will not be able to post anything on the threads you create, not one word or letter.
if a user is on your block list then that implies you not interested in what they have to say.
if you block someone you can't send them email or view what they have written in the chat room. why should the forum be special? a block should be a complete block.
It would make a thread disjointed because every comment by the blocked person would have to be removed ONLY for the person(s) who have blocked them.
Go through this thread and remove the comments made by someone who has contributed the most, now read it back, it won't make any sense will it
lol, do not get what i am suggesting. let me re-write it in your words:
every comment by the blocked person would have to be removed FOR EVERY USER looking at the thread, even if the other users have not blocked. the most important thing is that the original poster has blocked. this means that the blocked users on the op's list can not access the thread.
please do not confuse what i am suggesting with how the chat rooms work.
So how do you stop people you blocked contacting you on a thread you haven't started but commented on?
what, sorry, i am not sure what you mean?
let me say it another way. the op 'owns' the thread. therefore, the op and only the op can decide who uses the thread. if a user is on the op's block list then the 'post message' button will not be there to click. therefore the blocked user can not post anything on threads the op has created." I think you've got the wrong idea about this place if you think that anyone who starts a thread "owns" it or has any right to dictate how it goes.
This is Admin's playground and they've given the mods authority but for everyone else, once they write a post, it's out there in the wild.
It strikes me as a bit childish and petulant to want to ban people you don't like from your threads. We're adults (supposedly). Ignore the posts by people you don't like and, if they're abusive, report them.
If you want to "own" threads, you need to start your own site! | |||

" i still don't understand. why would i be interested in what they have to say in here if i have blocked them? also, why would i want anyone from my block list posting comments on my threads?" Ok. As others have said they are not 'your' threads. You might start them but then anyone can post on them as long as forum rules arent broken. You have no say at all who posts on the thread. That includes people that you have blocked or have blocked you . If someone is posting on the thread to cause trouble because you have blocked them then report the post . The only people that can remove or delete posts are Admin and the forum mods. That isnt going to change as much as you might want it to. | |||

"They probably blocked you so they don't message you again. It's not being rude it's a practical way of removing you from their searches. You've said no therefore it shouldn't bother at all. If you hadn't had looked at their profile after you'd said no you would be none the wiser. We went to remove the friend link, hence we discovered it had hapoened.. look surely if someone politely says no then it is good manners to either just let it go or reply politely. They did let it go, that's why they blocked you. They didn't block you to be nasty or rude it just saves them the embarrassment of messaging you again in a few months time. If they did this you'd wonder why they were hassling you again. By blocking it saves a lot of aggro. Blocking is not bad manners at all. ^ this It saves them having to remember who they have contacted in the past and who said no thank you. It also means you won't show in their searches, so searches show those who may be interested rather than a lot of people who aren't. They weren't being rude. I can't see why you would think that. It's just a practical way of using the site tools to find people interested in meets. If they'd replied "fuck you then" and then blocked you, that would be rude. Just blocking isn't rude. They assumed you wouldn't want to exchange further messages and took a practical step to avoid bothering you." yes, this | |||

The person you have blocked may have points to make that interest others and they have the right to express them within the rules. They are probably commenting to discuss the thread, not to communicate with you. They could very well have as little interest in communicating with you as you do with them. They may have an interest in discussing the thread with others. Wanting "your" threads to be your domain, directed by you is very much playground behaviour. I don't like you, so you can't play with us, so ner. Blocking someone from messaging prevents direct, private, one-to-one messages. It's not the same as trying to exclude someone from a group discussion. "Your" threads aren't solely about what you are interested in so whether you are interested in the comments of someone you don't like is irrelevant. | |||

"unlike other people, i only block people that have been abusive to me. therefore, why would i be interested in anything that these people have to say. if you block someone in chat chat room then you can not see what they written and vice versa. i have been informed that the chat room is more popular than the forum. what is the reason for this? maybe people feel more comfortable in the chat rooms because they know they will not communicate with people on their blocked list. you imply that a blocked person will not try and make contact with the person that has blocked them on the thread. however, what about those blocked people that just deliberately and frequently open a thread to post a negative comment against the op or the topic that the op has created? what then? lol, i know the thread is not mine and i don't want to own it. originally, when i was explaining my idea, i did not use the word 'own'. i used that word to when i was explaining my idea in a different way to people that did not understand my original point. | |||

"you imply that a blocked person will not try and make contact with the person that has blocked them on the thread. however, what about those blocked people that just deliberately and frequently open a thread to post a negative comment against the op or the topic that the op has created? what then?" No I don't imply that. I said a blocked person may have input on a thread without being interested in contacting the OP. And in answer to "what then?", you report them. It's against the rules to use the fora to attempt to get round a block. You really do seem to think this site should run entirely for your convenience, even if what you want is in direct opposition to what the majority want. I'll say it again. It DOES NOT MATTER if you are interested in what someone else has to say on a thread you start. Others might be. The thread, and the fora, are there for everyone, not just you. It isn't all about you and what you want. Besides, you clearly are interested in what people you block post on threads because you respond to them and debate with them. If you weren't interested you'd ignore them. | |||
